  3. Open  the 'Priorities' section
  4. The following settings can be customized in this section:
    Enable/disable priorities

    By default, people are asked to set priorities in each Check-in. However, there may be times that you'd rather not have that question appear on Check-ins, or you may only want the Pulse question to appear on certain people's Check-ins. Use this section to determine if you want priority questions to be asked company-wide, disabled company-wide, or only asked on the Check-ins of certain groups.

    Tip

    As an alternative to disabling priorities, you can change how often the Priorities sections appear on Check-ins for your entire company or specific groups.

    Custom priorities labels

    Two priorities sections appear on Check-ins: current priorities and upcoming priorities. Use this setting to change the default wording of these statements.

    Tip

    If you choose to cusomize labels, we recommend providing guidance in the label text. For example, "What are 2-3 things that are top of mind for you this week?" This ensures that employees use the 'Priorities' section strategically, rather than as a to-do list. Read more about use cases for Priorities.

    Sharing

    If your company is integrated with Slack, you can use this section to push submitted priorities to a Slack channel.
