How to View, Filter, and Submit Peer Recognition Awards
devActivity.com's Peer Recognition Awards allow you to acknowledge and appreciate your colleagues' contributions. This guide will walk you through accessing the awards page, viewing and filtering existing recognition, and manually submitting an award.
Accessing Peer Recognition Awards
- Navigate to the 'Rewards' section in your devActivity.com dashboard.
- Select 'Peer Recognition' from the sub-menu.
- The Peer Recognition page will display a table listing all assigned awards.
Viewing and Understanding Awards
The main table on the Peer Recognition page provides a comprehensive list of all assigned awards. Each row details a specific recognition:
- ASSIGNED AT: The date the award was given.
- PERIOD: The weekly or monthly period the recognition covers (e.g., 'Mar 16 - Mar 22').
- RECEIVER: The team member who received the award, often displayed with their avatar.
- SUBMITTER: The team member who submitted the award, also with their avatar.
- COMMENT: A message from the submitter explaining the reason for the recognition.
Filtering Peer Recognition Awards
To refine the list of awards and find specific recognitions, use the filtering options at the top of the page:
- Filter by Team: Use the 'Team' dropdown to view awards specific to a particular team (e.g., 'Demo team 2').
- Filter by Submitter: Use the 'Submitter' dropdown to see awards given by a specific individual.
- Filter by Receiver: Use the 'Receiver' dropdown to view awards received by a particular team member.
- Filter by Period: Use the 'Period' dropdown, often accompanied by a calendar icon, to select a specific time frame (e.g., '3 Month') for the awards you want to see.
Manually Submitting a Peer Recognition Award
While regular notifications prompt you to assign awards, you can also manually submit one:
- On the Peer Recognition page, look for a 'function' or button that allows for manual award submission.
- Clicking this will open a separate modal window.
- Follow the prompts within the modal to select a colleague and add your recognition comment.
- Each team member can typically assign one award per period (weekly or monthly).
- The colleague who receives the award will be notified through a 'Recognition Alert'.
