What it is
A login acknowledgement is a pop-up message that shows up when someone starts a new WorkBoard session. You write the text, so you can use it for anything you want people to see and agree to, such as:
Acceptable use or IT security policies
Data privacy or confidentiality notices
Legal or regulatory notices
Internal rules for handling sensitive information
How it works
The message appears every time a user starts a new session in WorkBoard.
It blocks access. The rest of WorkBoard is greyed out behind the message, and people can't use it until they click I Accept.
The text is fully customizable. You decide what it says.
It applies to all users in your organization.
How to turn it on
This feature is set up by the WorkBoard team, not in admin settings.
Write the text you want people to see. (See the sample below.)
Send it to your WorkBoard Customer Success Manager or to WorkBoard Support.
We add the message to your account and let you know when it's live.
To change or remove the message later, send us the new text or ask us to turn it off.
What users see
When a user logs in, a message window opens in the middle of the screen with your text and an I Accept button. If the message is long, users scroll inside the window to read all of it. Once they click I Accept, WorkBoard opens as usual. They'll see the message again the next time they start a new session.
Tips for writing your message
Keep it short. People see it at every login, and longer text has to be scrolled. A few clear sentences work best.
Use plain text and bullet points. Short paragraphs and bullets are easy to read in the window.
Message can have hyperlinks
FAQ
What counts as a new session?
A new session starts when someone logs in again, for example after logging out or after their session times out.
Can users close the message without accepting?
No. There's no close button. The only way forward is to click I Accept.
Can we see who accepted it?
WorkBoard can provide a report of acknowledgements.
Can we use different languages?
At this time the message cannot be localized; it is set by you for your organization as one customized message that is shows to all users in the same way.
