You can use your Viva Engage inbox for viewing, prioritizing, and managing the conversations that are most relevant to you in Viva Engage. Your inbox contains all of the private messages, announcements, and conversations that you participated in or were @mentioned in.
From your notification settings, you can also choose to get notified by email for all activity in your Viva Engage inbox.
From your inbox, you're able to:
-
Review all the Viva Engage activity that's relevant to you in a single location.
-
Prioritize important conversations by marking them as "unread" for later follow-up.
-
Stop following conversations that are no longer relevant to you.
-
Read through your conversations by using a split view for unread and read messages.
-
Stay informed by using the mobile Inbox when you travel.
