Notifications and files

The bell

The bell in the top-right corner collects everything needing your attention. A badge shows how many are unread; open it to see the most recent, click one to jump straight to the goal or review it's about, and use Mark all read to clear the count.

Choosing what reaches you

From Notifications on your Profile, every kind of update has two switches — In portal (shows under the bell) and Email (sends to your address). Both are on by default; turn off whatever you'd rather not receive.

Goals — a goal is proposed for you, one of your goals is edited, or someone accepts or declines a goal you proposed.

Reviews — you're assigned as a reviewer, your review is ready for your response, a review is due soon (a week before, the day before, and on the due date), or a review has gone past due. Whoever still owes an action, plus HR, is reminded the day it's late and once a week after until it's done.

Attaching files

Reviews, goals, milestones, notes and journal entries all accept attachments: PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, and txt/csv files — up to 25 MB each.

Files are stored privately: only people who can view the parent item can download them. Remove your own uploads with the ✕ beside the file.

Attachments are available when your organisation's object storage is enabled by HR. If you don't see attachment options anywhere, that's why.
