On your Home page, next to your profile avatar, you will find the Recognize someone... button.
When you click the Recognize someone…, a modal will pop up and guide you through sending recognition.
Step 1: Recipient & Message
- Choose Program - Select the program you are associating the recognition with. If you have one program to choose from, this field will auto-populate the program.
- Send to - Type the name of the person or people you want to send recognition to. Send to one or multiple colleagues.
- Your message - Add your message, up to 2,000 characters, and emojis
- Choose Reason (only applicable for points programs) - Choose a reason that most aligns with the recognition you are sending
- Add points (only applicable for points programs) - Select the amount of points you want to award your colleague
- Copied - When you copy others, they will get notified they were copied on the recognition but they won’t receive points if any are applied to the recognition.
- Public/Private - Recognition will default to Public and you can change it to Private by clicking the checkbox.
- Public recognition is seen by everyone in your organization.
- Private recognition is only seen by the person who sent it, the recipient(s), their manager(s), those who have been copied, and administrators.
* Public recognition can always be made private after sending, but Private recognition can never be made Public.
- Select an image - Choose between eCards, GIFs, or none
- If you click on the ECARD tab, you will see a selection of options you can scroll through. You can apply the one you want to be added to your recognition by clicking on it.
- If you click on the GIF tab, you can search for options by typing in a keyword or phrase into the “Search GIFs…” box. This will bring up a selection of options you can scroll through. You can apply the one you want to be added to your recognition by clicking on it.
- You can select the None tab if you prefer to send your recognition without an eCard or GIF.
- Once you’ve chosen an eCard, GIF or none, click the Preview button to move to the final step.
- Upload an image or video
- If you click on the Upload tab, you can upload media directly from your device.
- Specifically, if you are using a mobile device, you will have the option to take a picture or record a video.
- Once you've added your own image or video, click the Preview button to move to the final step.
Step 2: Preview and Send
The preview shows you exactly what your recognition will look like once it’s sent. If you would like to make revisions, click the Back button. When you are ready to send your recognition, click the Send button.
Note that once you send the recognition, you cannot go back and edit it.
Once you’ve sent your recognition, a modal will pop up telling you it’s complete. You can click on Recognize Someone Else to send another recognition, or you can click on All Done to exit and return to your Home page.
