Learn what the general settings in Sling control, including restrictions, messages, newsfeed, and tasks, and who can adjust them.
The Visibility of coworkers across locations setting lets you choose whether employees from different locations are able to see employees assigned to another location. If this option is disabled, it also affects the Visibility of schedules for employees setting under the schedule settings tab, so you won't see the option to allow them to view the schedule for other locations, either.
The Contact details setting allows you to choose whether employees have access to their coworkers' phone numbers, email addresses, and birthdays. When disabled, they can still view a list of employees added to the account along with assigned locations and positions. Managers and admins will still have access to all contact details.
This setting is included with Premium and Business only.
The Enable group and private messaging for your organization setting allows you to completely disable messaging within your Sling account. When disabled, the Messages tab is not visible to any user, including admins and managers.
If enabled, the option to allow or restrict employees' access appears. If the Allow employees to start conversations option is enabled, you can choose whether employees are able to create both group and private conversations or just private ones.
There are additional restriction options available for group messages as you're creating a new one or editing an existing one.
This setting is included with Premium and Business only.
The Enable content sharing across your organization feature lets you choose whether the Newsfeed is accessible. When disabled, the Newsfeed tab is not visible to any user.
When enabled, an option to allow or restrict employees' ability to create Pages will appear.
There are additional options for Newsfeed pages and permissions available when you create a Page.
This setting is included with Premium and Business only.
This allows you to choose whether the feature is accessible or not. When disabled, the Tasks tab will not appear for any user.
