Tasks and notifications
Cadre tells you when something needs you, or when something of yours changes: a leave request decided, a payslip ready, a document to sign. It tells you in the bell and by email. You choose which of these you get.
Who can manage their own tasks and notification choices: every member, for themselves.
My tasks
Section titled “My tasks”Your organisation may use workflows: lists of steps that run when something happens, such as a new starter joining. A step can be given to you as a task.
Open the menu and select Overview → My tasks. The number beside it shows how many tasks are open.
- Read the Task, who it is about (Person) and when it is Due. An overdue task is marked Overdue.
- Do what the task asks.
- Select Complete, add a Note if you want to, and select Complete again.
The home screen’s Needs your attention also shows your open tasks, and, if you manage people, leave requests waiting for you to decide.
The bell
Section titled “The bell”The bell at the top of every screen shows your notifications, newest first. Unread ones are marked. Select one to go to what it is about. Select Mark all as read to clear them.
Emails
Section titled “Emails”Cadre also emails you. Emails say what happened and link to it in Cadre. For your privacy, some things are never put in an email, for example:
- the words anyone typed into a check-in;
- the message of a kudos you received;
- the amounts, charges or accounts of your early pay.
To see those, open Cadre.
Holidays and your leave
Section titled “Holidays and your leave”If your organisation uses them, Cadre also tells you:
- the working day before a public holiday that applies to you, and a week before it;
- straight away, when a public holiday is added, moved or removed;
- when a holiday inside your leave changes how many days it takes. Days that come back go back into your balance;
- the working day before your approved leave starts, with the day you are back;
- when carried-over leave days are about to lapse.
A public holiday is never taken from your leave.
Choose your notifications
Section titled “Choose your notifications”- Open the menu and select You → My profile.
- Scroll to Notifications.
- For each kind of notification, switch Email and Bell on or off. You can also switch a whole group on or off at once, such as all Leave notifications.
- Select Save. To go back to how it was, select Undo changes.
You only see the notifications you could get. Payroll runs, HR’s requests and your team’s leave appear only if your role, or having people report to you, means Cadre would send them to you.
Two things are not up to you:
- Anything that asks you to act, such as a leave request to decide or a document to sign. These are always sent. Cadre shows them as Always sent or with a lock.
- What your organisation has switched off. Those are sent to nobody.
