The settings menu has a **Kudos** group with **General**, **Company values**, **Celebrations**, **Reminders**, and **Permissions**. If you can update HRIS settings, you also see an **HRIS** group, including [**Types & departments**](#types-and-departments) and [**Employee labels**](#employee-labels). On a computer, the settings menu takes the place of the HRIS menu in the sidebar. Click **Back to HRIS** at the top of the sidebar to return. On a phone or narrow window, tap the menu button at the top of the page to pick a section. > [!NOTE] > > **Required role:** **Owner** or **Admin** ## General On the **General** page, configure the following, then click **Save changes**: * **Currency**: what points are called across the app. Pick **Ribbons**, **Cookies**, or **Points**, or choose **Custom** and enter a plural name and an emoji. * **Giving balance**: how members get points to give. * **Monthly allowance**: every member's balance resets to the **Monthly amount** on the 1st of each month. Unused points don't carry over. * **One-time starting balance**: each member gets the **Starting amount** once. It only grows back when a recognition they gave is deleted. * **Max per recognition (per person)**: the most points a member can give each person in one recognition. Turn on **Unlimited** to let members give up to their whole balance. * **Composer**: the **Prompt text** shown at the top of the **Recognitions** feed, up to 120 characters. ## Company values Values are tags members add to recognitions. They power the feed filters and the **Organization Values** grouping in [Reports](https://docs.relyant.app/hris/reports.md). **1. Add a value** Choose an emoji, type a name (for example, "Teamwork"), and add it. **2. Edit a value** Click the edit icon next to a value, change its name or emoji, and click **Save**. **3. Remove a value** Click the delete icon next to a value and confirm. > [!NOTE] > > A value that's already on recognitions is archived instead of deleted. Old posts keep the tag, but members can't pick it anymore. Click **Restore** under **Archived** to bring it back. A value that was never used is deleted permanently. ## Celebrations Turn on **Enable automatic celebrations** to post birthdays and work anniversaries to the feed. The app runs once a day at the **Daily run time**, in your organization's timezone. For **Birthdays** and **Work anniversaries**, you can separately: * Turn the celebration type on or off. * Award points with each celebration, or turn points off to post without awarding any. * Write the **Message**. You can use the tokens `{name}`, `{org}`, `{years}`, `{points}`, and `{currency}`. ## Reminders Turn on **Enable reminder emails** to nudge members who still have points to give. Only members with a remaining balance are emailed. * **Start of month**: tells members their balance has refreshed. * **End of month**: reminds members to spend leftover points before they reset. Set the **Send time** in your organization's timezone. > [!NOTE] > > Reminders only apply when the giving balance is a **Monthly allowance**. ## Types and departments Under **HRIS** in the settings menu, **Types & departments** holds the choices HR picks from for an employee's **Type**, **Staff category**, and **Department**. You need permission to update HRIS settings to see it. ### Employment types and staff categories **Employment types** are shown as **Type** on each employee. **Staff categories** are an optional grouping, such as Teaching or Support, and are also used to target document types. **1. Edit the list** Click **Add type** or **Add category** to add an option. Type in a row to rename it, drag the handle to reorder, or click the delete icon to remove it. **2. Save** Click **Save**. Click **Cancel** to discard your changes. Renaming an option updates every employee who has it. Every option needs a unique name. > [!NOTE] > > Every employee has a type, so you must keep at least one employment type. You can't remove an option that's still used by an employee. ### Departments The **Departments** list is shared across Relyant: the same list is used for members, approvals, and workflows. * Click **Add department** to add one. * Click **Rename** next to a department to change its name. * Click the delete icon and confirm to delete a department. Employees and members in it are left with no department, and its approval rules are removed. This can't be undone. ## Employee labels Under **HRIS** in the settings menu, **Employee labels** holds the labels you tag people with, such as campus or team. You need permission to update HRIS settings to see it. Under **Label groups**, add a group and the labels in it. Each person can have at most one label from each group. Once labels exist, you can filter **People** by them and assign them to many people at once. See [Label employees](https://docs.relyant.app/hris/employees.md#label-employees). > [!WARNING] > > Removing a label removes it from everyone who has it. ## Permissions The **Permissions** page shows what each organization role can do. It's for reference only: every role can take part in recognitions, while reports, settings, and moderation stay with Owners and Admins.
