Viewing Messages

You can view your personal messages in the Message Center. For example:

• Employees can see messages sent to them from their managers that discuss their project work or provide additional information about their projects.
• Employees can see messages sent to them from Human Resources staff members, such as information about company holidays and reminders about deadlines for submitting timesheets.
• Employees receive reminders from EWS a week before an approved leave request, to prompt them to enter their leave time.
• Managers receive reminders when an employee submits a change request or leave request to prompt them to review and approve the request.

Note:  Human Resources staff can view messages from employees and managers using their personal Message Center. They can process employee information change requests sent by employees using HR Staff>Approve Change Requests. For more information, see Approve Change Requests and Viewing and Processing Employee Change Requests.

To view your messages, complete the following steps:

1. Access your personal Message Center using Personal>Message Center.

Note: The personal Message Center displays by default when you log in to the system.

2. Select the check box in the Read column after reading the message. Once selected, the system highlights the message row in green, and the message does not display in your list the next time you open your personal Message Center.

Note: The default message types are General Info, Reminders, or Request. When you select the check box in the Read column for a Request or Reminder message type, the system records date and time information about when you read the message in a log.
