Schedule a Recurring Check-In

As a manager or an employee, you can schedule recurring check-ins in Touchpoints according to the frequency of your choice. You can also add recurring discussion topics to these check-ins, as required.

You can schedule recurring check-ins on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis.

Here's some info regarding each scheduling frequency:

  • Daily recurrence: You can end the daily recurrence by specifying an end date or the number of recurrences. For example, if you specify the number of recurrences as 7, check-ins are scheduled every day for 7 days, starting from the first check-in date.
  • Weekly recurrence: You can end the weekly recurrence by specifying an end date or the number of recurrences. For example, if you specify the number of recurrences as 4, check-ins are scheduled weekly once for 4 weeks, starting from the first check-in date.
  • Monthly recurrence: You can choose to repeat the check-ins on a specific date or day of the month. For example, schedule a check-in on the 21st of every month or every second Monday of every month. You can end the monthly recurrence by specifying an end date or the number of recurrences.
  • Yearly recurrence: Select the month when you want to schedule the first check-in, and then repeat the check-in on a specific date or day of that month. For example, schedule the first check-in on January 2 each year, or every first Monday of January each year. You can end the yearly recurrence by specifying an end date or the number of recurrences.

If an employee has multiple assignments, a manager can select the assignment relevant to the check-in.

As an employee, if you have multiple assignments that report to a single manager, you can select the assignment relevant to the check-in. If you have multiple managers, you can select the manager with whom you want to schedule the check-in. This includes matrix managers as well.

As an employee, you can view recurring check-ins in the Events and interactions timeline on your Touchpoints page.

As a manager, you can view recurring check-ins in the Events and interactions timeline on the Touchpoints page of the employee that you select.

Note: The manager and employee receive a notification when a recurring check-in series is scheduled.
