Set Digest Email Frequency

Set Digest Email Frequency

Permission:
Manage schedules
.
The digest email displays due notifications and summarizes dashboard updates. Digest emails can cover multiple segments for users that are segment managers of more than 1 area in the tool.
You can set the digest email frequency to automatic (ie. daily during weekdays, when there are due notifications) or to the end of the survey round. You need to set the digest email frequency separately on each survey schedule.
You must have these permissions to receive the automatic digest:
  • Access Statistics
    .
  • Access [..] comments
     (Example:
    Access driver comments
    ).
  • Access comments in real-time
     (when using
    Automatic
     digest frequency).
See Concept: Digest Email Notifications for more information.

  2. Click
    View
     on the survey that you need to configure.
  3. Go to the
    Email
     tab.
  4. As you set your
    Digest email
     preference, consider:
    Option
    Description
    Automatic
    Sends a daily digest email to managers above the visibility threshold, if their dashboards have due notifications.
    End of round
    Sends a digest email to managers above the visibility threshold at the end of the survey round.
    If there's an update in focus areas during the survey round (Example: a senior leader sets or dismisses a focus area on a manager's behalf), the segment manager will receive a digest email the next working day.
  5. Click
    Save
    .
Any changes to this setting during a live round take effect immediately. Example: If you switch to automatic digest, qualifying managers will start receiving them daily at 06:00AM UTC. If you switch to end of round digest, daily digests will cease.
