Before you start
- Admins can send a variety of notifications during the performance review process. We'll break down these notifications by review stage, Admin action, if they're customizable, and who receives the e-mail below.
- By default, Lattice sends these notifications as emails. If you use Slack or MS Teams you can navigate to the Notification Center to customize where we send your employees' notifications.
- Each notification corresponds to a specific call to action and task employees will see on their home pages. The notifications contain links to the page where action is required in Lattice.
- A notification is not sent to reviewees when an admin or manager overrides the reviewee's peer selection.
