Understanding the For you Section
Understanding the For you Section
The For you section shows items that currently need your attention. Each item links you to the report or view where you can take action.
For you helps you see what needs attention at a glance, without having to search through Inbox or Reports.
Who sees the For you section
The For you section appears on Home for all members.
What you see depends on:
- Your role, such as submitter, approver, or Workspace Admin
- Whether there are reports waiting on an action from you
If nothing requires your attention, the section may appear empty.
What qualifies as a to-do in the For you section
An item appears in For you when a report can’t move forward without something from you.
Only actions that are required to move a report along will appear here.
Which items can appear in the For you section
The For you section can show items like:
- Submit – reports that are ready for you to submit
- Approve – reports waiting for your approval
- Pay – approved reports waiting to be paid
- Export – reports waiting to be exported
- Fix – reports that need attention before they can move forward
How roles affect what you see in the For you section
The items you see in For you depend on what actions you’re responsible for.
- Submitters may see:
- Submit
- Approvers may see:
- Approve
- Workspace Admins may see:
- Pay
- Export
- Fix
Where each For you item takes you
When you select an item in For you, you’re taken directly to Reports, filtered to show the items that need that action.
For example:
- Submit takes you to reports ready to submit
- Approve takes you to reports waiting for approval
- Pay takes you to approved reports waiting to be paid
- Export takes you to reports waiting to be exported
- Fix takes you to reports that need attention
What it means when the For you section is empty
If there are no reports waiting on you, the For you section may be empty. This means you’re caught up and there’s nothing you need to act on right now.
FAQ
Why do I see more than one item in the For you section?
If you’re responsible for more than one type of action, such as approving and paying reports, you may see multiple items at the same time.
Why don’t I see an item even though I expect one?
An item only appears when a report is waiting specifically on you. If the report is still in progress or waiting on someone else, it won’t appear in For you.
Does the For you section replace Inbox or Reports?
No. For you helps you spot what needs attention and takes you to the right place. All work is still completed in Reports.
Why don’t all my reports appear in the For you section?
The For you section only shows items that currently need your attention. Completed work or items that are waiting on someone else will not show in your For you section.
