Use the notifications centre
The notifications centre brings together everything the platform wants to tell you about: leave to approve, documents to sign, surveys due, shoutouts you’ve received, workflow steps waiting on you.
Open the notifications centre
Two ways:
- Click the bell icon at the top right of any page.
- Sidebar then Your notifications.
You see your full list, newest first, with three tabs:
- All. Everything.
- Unread. Things you haven’t seen yet.
- Archived. Things you’ve finished with.
Action a notification
Click any notification. It opens the related thing directly:
- Leave approval notification opens the request to approve or reject.
- Document signature notification opens the document.
- Workflow step notification opens the approval page.
- Shoutout notification opens the comms feed item.
Once you action it, the notification marks as read automatically.
Filter
- All / Unread / Archived tabs across the top
- Search bar to find a specific notification
- Type filter (leave, documents, performance, comms, system)
Archive
For notifications you’ve dealt with but don’t want cluttering the main list, click Archive on the row. They move to the Archived tab.
Clear unread
Click Mark all read at the top right of the list. Useful first thing in the morning if you’ve been catching up via email.
Configure what you get
What appears here is controlled by your Notification Preferences. See Configure your notification preferences to turn off the things you don’t want and turn on the ones you do.
