Your inbox

Your Inbox gathers everything Orquiva has to tell you in a single list: alerts, your time-off requests and your company’s announcements, newest first. It sits in the side menu, and the number next to its name is how many alerts you haven’t read.

What’s in the list

There are no tabs. Everything comes together, sorted by date, and each item carries a colored tag that says what it is:

Item	How you recognize it	What it asks of you
Alert	The sender is the module that sent it: Time off, Signatures, Documents, Expenses, Clock-ins, Onboarding or Talent management. It carries tags such as Request, Document, Signature or Onboarding	It depends: some only inform you and others lead you to something to do
Your time-off request	The tag is its status: Pending, Approved or Rejected	Nothing. It's there so you can see how it's going
Announcement	Tagged Announcement, Important or Pinned. The sender is whoever published it	Read it. If it asks for acknowledgment, opening it records that

These are the alerts you can get: your time off approved, rejected or updated, and the outcome of a time-off deletion; new documents and documents you’re required to read; new signature requests, your turn in a signing chain, reminders and expired requests; onboarding tasks and reminders; approved expenses; clock-in corrections approved, rejected or where a manager asks for more information; surveys and evaluations assigned to you; and Your working day is still open, which arrives in the evening if you forgot to clock out. Announcements and their attachments are covered in Announcements.

If you decide other people’s time off, you also get Time off awaiting review when someone on your team requests some, a notice when someone reports an absence that needs no approval (sick leave), and requests to delete time off that was already approved. All three point you to Time-off control, which is where the decision is made. See Approving your team’s time off.

Read and act

There’s no button to mark everything as read: each item is marked when you open it.

Choose which alerts you get

The gear icon in the inbox header opens Notification preferences. There you decide, alert by alert, whether you want it in your inbox and, where available, by email. If you turn off the inbox for a type of alert, that alert stops being created. Everything starts switched on. The details are in Notifications.

What happens next

What you open stops counting toward the number in the menu and drops out of the Unread filter, but it stays in the list: marking as read deletes nothing. Your time-off requests stay after they’re decided; only their tag changes. Announcements are marked as read only in the browser where you opened them, so on another device they can show up as unread again.

If something goes wrong

I can’t find an alert I remember. Check that you’re on All and not Unread, and clear the search box.

An announcement I already read shows up as unread again. You read it in another browser or on another device: the read mark for announcements is stored per browser. If it asked for acknowledgment, that was recorded.

I’m a manager and didn’t get an alert about my team’s time off. The alert goes to the requester’s direct manager and, if they have none, to the administrators. If you are their direct manager, check in Notification preferences that you haven’t turned off Time off awaiting review. Clock-in corrections and expenses don’t alert the approver: review them on their own screen.

I stopped getting a type of alert. You turned it off in the inbox column of Notification preferences. Turn it back on and click Save changes. Alerts that weren’t created while it was off don’t appear afterward.

I click View my evaluations and end up on the home page. Your role doesn’t include access to Performance yet, which is where evaluations are answered. Ask HR to give it to you. See Goals.
