Notification System

How notifications are routed depending on the different roles in your organisation?

A) Hierarchy

Notifications send to superiors are influenced by the hierarchy of roles in your organisation. There are four roles in Rotas and Workforce Management:

  1. Admin

  2. Manager

  3. Supervisor

  4. Employee

The roles in your organisation are accessible in the "Employee" menu.

B) System

  1. Notifications are only sent at the 1st level above to prevent notification spam to all superiors

  2. If the level above doesn't exist in your organisation, the notification skips that levels and goes above (ex.: if there's no supervisor, it goes to the manager)

  3. All users of the same level receive the same notifications (as long as they manage the same locations/positions)

C) Examples

Example 1: You have 2 admins and 25 employees

The 2 admins will receive all notifications.

Example 2 : You have 1 admin, 1 manager and 25 employees

  1. The manager will receive all notifications related to the 25 employees

  2. The admin will receive all notifications related to the manager

Example 3 (multiple locations)

  • You have 1 admin and 2 locations (Manchester & London).

  • There are 1 manager and 10 employees in Manchester

  • There are 10 employees and no manager in London

Result:

  1. The manager will receive all notifications from the 10 employees in Manchester

  2. The admin will receive all notifications from the 10 employees in London and those from the manager in Manchester.
