Sending Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments are text notifications sent by a company official to some, or all employees. They can include an attachment and a short message. The system automatically creates an Open Task which is closed when the employee presses I Acknowledge This.

SENDING AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Here’s how to send an acknowledgment:

  • Navigate to Control Panel > Acknowledgments > +Send button in the top right corner
  • Enter the text for the acknowledgment.  This is the message that employees see when first opening the task and has a max of 240 characters.
  • Optionally add an Attachment, like a photo or PDF document.
  • If a signature will be required, click the Yes, Signature Required box.
  • Ongoing means that the Acknowledgment will automatically be sent to new employee profiles that match the criteria.
  • Assign an Expiration date if this Acknowledgment is only valid for a certain period of time.
  • Select who to send the Acknowledgment to.  This can go to Everyone in the company, or can be Limited to certain individuals, or other conditions like Job Title, Location, Line of Business, etc.
  • Click Send It Now
