How can we celebrate work anniversaries in SalesScreen?

You celebrate work anniversaries in SalesScreen by setting users’ hire dates and enabling work anniversary posts in feeds and TV playlists.

Written by Marius Ekerholt

Role
Admin (to configure feeds, TV playlists, and bulk upload hire dates)
End user (to update their own hire date)

Plan
All plans where feeds and TV screens/playlists are enabled

Prerequisites

  • Feeds and TV playlists are set up in your SalesScreen environment

  • Users have (or can be given) a Hire Date value

Step‑by‑step instructions

Step 1 – Understand how work anniversaries work

  • Work anniversaries are based on each user’s Hire Date.

  • When hire dates are set, SalesScreen can automatically highlight anniversaries:

    • In activity feeds

    • On TV screens via a dedicated slide

  • Work anniversaries are activated by default, but you decide where they appear.

Step 2 – Enable work anniversaries in feeds (admin)

  1. Go to your feed settings in SalesScreen.

  2. Choose which feeds should show work anniversaries.

  3. Choose for which teams the work anniversaries should appear.

  4. Enable the Work Anniversaries feed post source.

After this, work anniversaries for users with a hire date will appear automatically in the selected feeds.

Step 3 – Show work anniversaries on TV screens (admin)

  1. Go to your TV playlists in SalesScreen.

  2. Add the Work Anniversary slide to any playlist where you want anniversaries to appear.

Any TV screen running a playlist that includes this slide will display work anniversaries for the current week.

Step 4 – Let users set their own hire date (end users)

Each user’s work anniversary comes from their Hire Date field.

To set or update it:

  1. Go to your Profile Settings (the same place you change your profile picture).

  2. Find the Hire Date field.

  3. Enter your hire date and click Save.

If you’ve never set it before, this field will be empty until you add a date.

Step 5 – Bulk upload hire dates for multiple employees (admin)

  1. Navigate to Manage → Users.

  2. Click the Add new users button in the top‑right corner.

  3. In the dialog, choose Create or update users from Excel.

  4. Either:

    • Download the template from SalesScreen to see which fields you can update, or

    • Upload a file from your HR system that includes at minimum:

      • Users’ email addresses

      • A column for hire date

  5. In the Excel import wizard, map the email and hire date columns so SalesScreen updates the correct users with the correct dates.

  6. Complete the import. Users’ hire dates will be updated and anniversaries will be picked up automatically.

What if this doesn’t work?

No work anniversaries are showing in any feeds

  • Check that the Work Anniversaries post source is enabled in the relevant feeds.

  • Make sure users actually have a Hire Date set in their profiles or via import.

No work anniversaries are showing on TV screens

  • Confirm that the Work Anniversary slide is added to at least one playlist.

  • Make sure the TV screen is running the playlist that contains this slide.

  • Check that there are anniversaries in the current week; the slide only shows upcoming/ongoing dates.

Some employees never appear in anniversaries

  • Verify that their email address in SalesScreen matches the email in your Excel/HR file.

  • Check that their Hire Date is filled in and saved, and that the date format is correct in the import file.
