Communication and reports

• Announcements are Workplace-wide notices. Posting one notifies everyone at the Workplace.
• Messages are conversations between people in the Workplace: an Everyone thread plus private direct threads.
• Inbox (inside Activity) is the durable record of notifications; push is a best-effort alert.
• Invitation email exposes its delivery state to Managers in the Workers directory.

Select Post announcement to write a title and message. Open a thread in Messages to read and reply; a direct thread is private to the two people in it.

“Sent” means a message left jooling, not that a person saw it. “Delivered” means the email or push service accepted it. Only an explicit Acknowledgement records that a Worker selected I saw this.

Activity

Activity has two parts: Inbox, your notification list with read states, and Audit trail, a filterable record of manager actions such as publications, reminders, coverage decisions, attendance marks, and time-entry edits. The audit trail can be downloaded as CSV.

Managers can send a reminder to Workers who have not acknowledged a published Schedule. If the result is uncertain after a connection problem, check Activity before sending another reminder.

Reports

Reports covers attendance, scheduled and worked hours, Labor Cost, manual Daily Sales, labor percentage, coverage, requests, and leave — organized into Attendance, Hours & labor, Coverage, Requests, and Leave tabs. Worked hours and attendance columns export as CSV.

Attendance opens first. Pick a month to see each Worker's days marked Present, Late, Absent, or Sick, with a daily trend chart. Use Find worker to search by name or Position.

The Requests tab summarizes time-off, release, pickup, and swap decisions with approval rates; the Leave tab tracks balances and can export a leave payroll CSV.

These are operational reports, not payroll records.
