Click the filters icon to slide out the filter panel.

You are able to filter by:

  • Status - Open, Escalated, Dismissed, Completed

  • Type - Coaching, Competition, Edit, Goal, Help, Idea

  • Employee - Search for a specific User's name

  • Search Content - Type to search content, reasons, notes of Asks.

Search Content Example. You remembered a rep submitting an Ask about a competition, but couldn't remember the exact type. Able to search for "competition" and quickly locate the specific Ask.

 

Alternatively, a timeline and holistic view into all time asks can be viewed by clicking the Overview tab within Asks. Accessible through the left navigation > Asks.

Complete an Ask

As a Manager you are able to interact with asks that were submitted to you OR asks that an employee you manage submitted to an admin.

Ex. An employee could submit a request for a goal to be created to an admin, but as their direct manager you are able to create the requested goal and mark the ask complete.

1. Open the left navigation and click Asks.

If a user has submitted an ask, open asks can also be accessed and completed from their Coaching Timeline, User Dashboard > Coaching tab or Manager Homepage.

 

2. Locate the ask you intend to complete.

3. Click the ellipses icon on the respective ask.

Make sure you've carried out the ask before marking complete! If the ask entails creating a goal, challenge, or coaching item, and the ask was assigned directly to you, you will find quick access to creating the ask via the Act button.
