Notifications
Stay informed about approvals, updates, and actions that need your attention.
Overview
Notifications keep you informed of events that relate to you — such as a time-off request to approve, a timesheet submission, or a status change on something you submitted.
You can access notifications in two ways:
- Bell icon in the top bar — a quick popover for immediate triage
- Notifications page — a full list for reviewing and managing all notifications
Bell popover
Click the bell icon in the top bar to open the notification popover. The badge count shows how many unread notifications and pending actions you have.
The popover groups notifications into:
- Pending actions — items that need your response (approve, review, etc.)
- Unread messages — informational notifications you haven’t read yet
From the popover, you can:
- Open details — click a notification to see the full message and available actions
- Dismiss — remove a notification you’ve read
- Quick approve — for time-off approval requests, approve directly from the notification without leaving the page
Notifications page
For a fuller view, navigate to by clicking View all in the popover or from the sidebar.
The page has two tabs:
| Tab | Shows |
|---|---|
| Unread | Notifications you haven’t read or dismissed |
| All | Complete notification history |
Actions available on the page:
- Mark as read — mark individual notifications as read
- Dismiss — remove a notification from the list
- View details — open the full notification dialog with context and actions
- Quick approve — approve time-off requests directly from the notification
Notification types
| Notification | Who receives it | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Time-off pending approval | Manager | Approve or reject from notification |
| Time-off approved | Employee | Informational |
| Time-off rejected | Employee (with reason) | Informational |
| New timesheet period | Employee | Link to timesheet |
| Timesheet submitted | Manager | Link to approvals |
| Timesheet approved | Employee | Informational |
| Timesheet rejected | Employee (with reason) | Link to timesheet |
Email notifications
Notifications are also sent by email in the language set in the recipient’s preferences. Email notifications follow the same rules as in-app notifications — you receive an email for every event that generates an in-app notification.
