Below this, you'll find the Personnel, Related Reports, and Audit Log tabs. These sections have more information that can only be viewed or changed by users with the correct privilege level.

  • Date and Time: The last column shows the date and time provided in the Event Overview section of the report.

Feedback notes

Feedback notes is a feature within the Personnel module that lets supervisors create and send feedback to their team, and allows users to view and acknowledge the feedback they’ve received.

When a supervisor sends a feedback note, the recipient will receive an email notification. They can then open the note directly by using the link in the email or by navigating to the Feedback notes tab on the Personnel page.

Some users, depending on their permissions, can create new feedback note types in the Administrator Console. These types determine the note label and optional expiration period. For more details, see Feedback notes.

Create feedback notes

Follow these steps to create and send a feedback note:

  1. Open the Feedback notes tab in the Personnel module.
  2. Select Create Note.
  3. Choose the note type from the list, and enter the recipient's name.
  4. Write your message in the Note field.
  5. Select Require acknowledgment from recipient if you want them to confirm they've read the note.
  6. Add attachments, if needed.
  7. Select Save to send the note.

View feedback notes

To view feedback notes, open the Personnel module and select the Feedback notes tab. The information displayed depends on your role and permissions.

  • All users can view feedback notes they've received
  • Users with the ability to send notes can also view the notes they've sent.
  • Users with the appropriate permission can view feedback notes on another user's profile.

When you open the feedback notes tab, the notes you've received will appear by default. To view the notes you have sent, select Notes sent from the side menu.

You can filter notes by Note type, Date range, and, for sent notes, by Recipient using the filters above the list.

Select a note to open it and view the full details, which include:

  • Date and time created
  • Name of the creator
  • Expiration date (if applicable)
  • Acknowledgment status (if applicable)
  • Note content
  • Feedback type flag

To export a note, open it, select More Actions [...] > Export CSV. To return to the list of notes, select Back.

When the sender requires acknowledgment from the recipient, an Acknowledge button will appear in the note.

Selecting the Acknowledge button confirms you have seen the message, adds a timestamp, and notifies the sender.

Users with the appropriate permissions can also view feedback notes on another user's profile. To do this, open that person’s profile in the Personnel module, then select the Feedback notes tab.

Audit log

An individual audit log is available in the Audit Log tab within each user's profile in the Personnel module. This tab contains a comprehensive record of all actions taken on that specific profile. Each entry includes the date and time of the action, the modification made, and the user made the change.

The audit log entries are listed from oldest to newest. These entries are automatically created and cannot be altered or added manually.

Use the filters at the top of the Audit Log to sort the information by date, name, badge number, or action type.

Select the Export button located on the right-hand side of the screen to download a CSV file that contains all information in the audit log.
