Note: The Shout Outs widget is optional and not added to your dashboard automatically. If you would like the widget added, please get in touch with our support team and let us know where you'd like it.
Give your team a shout out, either for Birthdays, Work Anniversaries, or any other date-based data against User's profiles, using the Shout Outs widget!
The widget will display a running list of whichever dates/data you set it to, automatically. For example, if you choose to display birthdays, then it will show an ongoing list of user birthdays.
The user birthdate, hired date, etc, are all optional fields when adding a user. If there is no data stored in these fields in a user's profile, then they will not appear in the dashboard widget. Click here for a tutorial on editing an individual user or updating user info in bulk
