The Settings section of Bonusly allows you to edit and update your personal information and preferences with Bonusly. Availability of preferences is determined by your company's administrators. As Bonusly is a platform chosen and run by your company, it will be up to their discretion about what information you're allowed to access and edit.
*Please confirm with your company admins before making changes to your preferences. All information is subject to change if it does not fit with your company policies.
The Setting pages include Basic Settings, Email notifications, and Celebrations.
First, let's review how to access your Basic Settings.
Accessing the Profile Settings page
The Settings page can be accessed by clicking on your Avatar in the top right corner of your screen:
From the pop-up, choose the Profile Settings option.
You will be directed to your Settings home, which is always "Basic Settings."
Basic Settings
Basic settings allow you to edit* basic information about you in Bonusly, including Preferred first name (What shows up on Bonusly), Last name, Email, Time zone, Country, Locale, and Avatar.
*If the field is not editable, it means that your company is using an integration for user management, and the information is being pulled from another program. If it is not editable, please contact a company admin about making any necessary changes.
Once the changes have been made, select "Update Account" at the bottom of the page to save your changes.
If your account updates have been saved successfully, you'll receive a notification:
Email Notifications
Email Notifications allow you to select which reminders and emails you will receive related to Bonusly. We strongly encourage, as a best practice, keeping all of your notifications in place, as reminders are strongly tied to healthy platform activity.
*If you decide to disable some of the notifications and find your usage of Bonusly decreasing, we encourage you to reactivate the reminders. 👍
Celebrations
Celebrations allow you to see which Celebration recognition your company has enabled and display your birthday and anniversary dates.
If these awards are turned on for your company, you can opt out of receiving recognition for a birthday or anniversary by unchecking the boxes next to that type of award. Then click on the Save Preferences button at the bottom to save your changes.
When a user opts out, they will not receive any recognition or points on that day, and nothing will post to the home feed.
*If your birthday or anniversary date is incorrect, please contact a company admin to update the information for you. They can find material on how to edit your dates here.
FAQs
I want to edit my data/preferences under the Settings tab. Is that okay? Any changes to your settings page will need to be run by your company admin. Please confirm that your updates are appropriate based on your companies guidelines and policies.
I want to edit some data but don't seem to be able to. Why not? If your company is using an HRIS for user management (such as BambooHR, Zenefits, etc), then some information will not be editable for anyone inside of Bonusly. Any updates or changes that need to be made will have to happen within the HRIS system, and then updated within Bonusly. Please have your admin contact us if they have further questions about updating the information.
