Approver Notifications
As an approver, you can receive a notification when employees create registrations that require your approval – for example, vacation, sick leave, or work hours.
You can decide:
Whether you want to receive notifications
Which types of registrations you want to be notified about
This helps you keep your approval list up to date.
It's a good idea to adjust your notifications if:
You’re not getting notifications when employees create registrations
You’re getting too many notifications and want to limit them
You only want to be notified about certain types (e.g., vacation or sick leave)
How to Set Up Notifications
Via the Web Portal
You can set up your preferred notifications under Approve & Post Register → SMS/Email messages, where you can check the boxes for the registration types you want to receive notifications for.
Remember to click Save after making changes.
Via the Mobile App
On the mobile app home screen, select Approve in the top right corner. Then tap the bell icon in the upper right. Check the boxes for the registration types you want to receive notifications for.
Remember to click Save after making changes.
