   Notifications

   Notifications are an important part of 15Five— they allow you to go about your day and alert you when something happens that requires your attention. You can control which notifications you receive from the 'Notifications' tab. If your company is integrated with Slack, you can also opt to receive notifications in your Slack account.

   Vacations

   Vacations in 15Five allow you to skip Check-ins so you won’t receive reminders or accumulate unsubmitted Check-ins during time off. The sole purpose of vacations in 15Five is to skip Check-ins, not as a point of reference for upcoming days off.

   Check-in visibility

   This tab shows you who has permission to view your Check-ins and whose Check-ins you have permission to view, and will only appear if your company has the Check-ins feature enabled.
