To maximize software engagement and streamline your user experience on the Applauz platform, it's essential to leverage these settings and features effectively. Whether you're enhancing employee recognition, celebrating milestones, or unlocking new capabilities, the settings menu offers comprehensive tools to elevate your program's impact. Engaging with these features can significantly enhance user satisfaction and drive meaningful interaction within your software environment.
To access the program settings menu navigate to Settings>Program Preferences.
Note: Only Administrators have access to program settings menu.
In the settings menu, you will see all the basic information associated to your account and program.
Scroll down to the 'Program Options' section.
Here you can turn on/off key features on the Applauz platform. By default, most are turned off.
Enable automatic event announcements
To enhance your Employee Recognition experience, we recommend turning on the -Announce birthdays- as well as -Announce Work Anniversaries- features. The visibility for both should be set to everyone.
The announcement of employee birthdays and anniversaries on the Newsfeed is highly recommended! These reminders help managers never forget an important employee event.

Turning on additional features
That said, additional features are turned off by default as they require the purchase of Applauz Points to work.
Rewarding employees with Applauz Points will help you take recognition to the next level. Buying Applauz Points is simple--you can do it directly on the settings page by clicking "Buy Points."
Assuming you decide to boost your recognition program with Applauz Points. In that case, you can turn on the following features in your Program Options once Points are purchased:
Turning on Service Awards
Lastly, Service Awards helps companies honour their employee's milestone anniversaries.
Enabling "Service Awards" in Program Options will simply make the "Service Awards" menu appear in the main navigation bar. Nothing more.
From there, you may click on the "Service Awards" menu in the main navigation bar. Inside the menu, you can configure the program by selecting milestones of their choice (example: 3-years, 5-years, and 10-years anniversaries, etc...) and purchasing Gift-Vouchers.
