Employee Slate notifications

  • 2 minutes to read

    • Notifications provide real-time alerts and updates about important events, task assignments, system changes, and organizational announcements.

    Employee Slate surfaces all relevant platform updates in a single notification tray accessible from every page. You see tasks, approvals, requests, and case activity in one place instead of monitoring separate queues or inboxes. The tray works the same way on the desktop portal and on the mobile web.

    Notifications

    The notification system delivers timely information about events requiring your attention or awareness. Notifications are grouped and prioritized to reduce noise while important information reaches you promptly.

    You can deliver notifications on portal and in-app in mobile web.

    • Notifications: Left navigation shows the count of new notifications. Select the bell icon to open the notification tray and view the list. New notifications appear with a green dot and highlighted background for quick identification of unread items.
    • Grouped notifications: Track and review multiple updates. Employee Slate groups the unread notifications into a single entry in the tray. The grouped entry uses aggregated template to show the most recent update with a summary of earlier activity.
    • Mark all as read: Clear the notification count without opening each notification. Select Mark all as read to move all notifications to the Opened state. Opening the tray marks all notifications as viewed.
    • Navigate to the source record: Select any notification in the tray to open the related record or page. Examples include an approved request, an HR case needing follow-up, or an incident with a new comment. You don't search for the record or navigate through menus. The notification takes you directly to the location where you can review details and respond.

    Notification states

    Every notification moves through three states that reflect how you have interacted with it:

    New
    A notification that you have not yet seen. New notifications appear with a green dot and contribute to the count on the bell icon.
    Viewed
    A notification present in the tray when you open it. Opening the tray moves every new notification to viewed state and clears the bell icon count.
    Opened
    A notification you selected to navigate to the source record or page. The dot is removed when you return to the tray.

    Moveworks notifications in Employee Slate

    In Moveworks deployments, administrators configure notifications on the Moveworks platform instead of through Employee Slate Admin Console. Moveworks notifications appear in Employee Slate persistent navigation alongside platform-triggered notifications. You see all your alerts in one place. Selecting a Moveworks notification brings the related update into Moveworks AI Assistant context. You can ask follow-on questions or take direct action from the assistant.
