 * **Submitted message**: When the user submits their suggestions, the text on that card changes. Your response has been successfully submitted. * **Outdated message**: Previous unsubmitted suggestions are closed, and new suggestions are sent. This is the text that is shown on the old suggestions. This only happens when the next reminder or new skill suggestions are sent — there is no time-based trigger that marks a message outdated on its own. This request no longer exists. A more recent reminder has been sent with a list of skills for you to validate. * **SAP Growth Profile link**: The message on top of the Skill Profile tab that contains the link to the Employee's SAP Growth Portfolio. By default, no message is displayed. # Customize the scheduling of messages The TechWolf Skill Assistant sends messages to users on a regular basis. This scheduling of the messages can be customized to fit your company's needs. The following attributes can be customized: * How often suggestions are sent. The options are daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly (every 3 months), biannually (every 6 months), or yearly. By default, daily sends every weekday, weekly sends every Monday, and monthly, quarterly, biannually, and yearly send on the first Monday of the relevant month. * For weekly and longer frequencies, the day on which suggestions are sent can be customized in one of two ways: * By weekday: pick a specific weekday (Monday–Friday). For monthly, quarterly, biannually, and yearly frequencies, you also pick which occurrence of that weekday within the month (first, second, third, or fourth — for example, the third Wednesday). * By date: pick a fixed day of the month (1–28). If that date falls on a weekend, sending shifts to the next Monday. This option applies to monthly and longer frequencies. * For quarterly, biannually, and yearly frequencies, the starting month can be configured. For example, quarterly starting in February sends in February, May, August, and November. * The time when messages begin sending. This process may take some time. You can set it to a specific time of day, either on the hour or the half-hour. * The amount of time to wait before sending a reminder message to users with open suggestions. This can be set to a specific number of days. For example, if the reminder window is set to 3 days and the user has not validated the skill suggestions received on Monday, they will receive a reminder on Thursday. If the user validates the suggestions on Tuesday and chooses to validate more suggestions, but then leaves the new suggestions open, the reminder window is reset and a new reminder will be sent on Friday. Reminder messages are only sent on weekdays, so if the reminder window expires during the weekend, the reminder will be sent on Monday. Reminders can also follow the suggestion frequency; in that case, on each send day, employees who still have open suggestions from a previous send day receive a reminder, and employees without any open suggestions receive new suggestions if any are available. * Whether all messages are sent at the same time or based on each user's {timezoneType_0 === 'country' ? 'country median time zone.' : 'time zone.'} * A minimum number of Skills that must be available before suggestions are sent to an Employee. These customizations are configured by TechWolf. Let us know what you would like to change and we will make the necessary adjustments.
