A dialog box will open.
Click the Calendar icon again to pick a new expiration date.

Save Changes

Click Save to confirm.
The award will immediately update with the new expiration date.

Note: If the award has expired, it will be moved from 'Expired' to 'Active' once it is extended. Ensure that you adjust your filters to view it in the Active list.

Set Default Filters for Wall

Define what users see by default on the Recognition Wall. Admins can set a company-wide default by department or location.

Steps:

Click into the Admin Gear.
From the left menu, go to User Management → Default Wall Filter.
Select a filter level (e.g., Department Name or Location Name).
Click Save Default Wall Filter.
A confirmation will appear:

Apply Wall Filter to All Users – replaces any custom filters employees set.
Only Apply to Users Without a Custom Wall Filter (Recommended) – preserves user preferences while still giving a default for everyone else.

To remove a company-wide setting, click Remove Default Wall Filter.

Set Profile Data Visibility for All Users

As an admin, you can control which information is visible on employee profiles and in the directory.

Start by clicking into the Admin Gear.
On the left panel, select User Management.
Click User Data Visibility.

From here, you’ll see three tabs:

Directory View – Controls what information is visible in the company directory (e.g., name, position, email, hire date).
Profile View – Controls what information is visible on individual user profiles (e.g., phone, address, birthday).
Default Birthday Config – Sets whether birthdays are public or private by default.

You can toggle each option on or off by checking the box. A live preview on the right shows how the data will appear.

When finished, click Save to apply changes.

Note: For birthdays, if visibility is set to public, the birth month and day will appear in the Upcoming Birthdays list and on profiles. If private, they will remain hidden. For GDPR compliance, it’s recommended to keep birthdays private by default.
