Prerequisites
You must be an admin to configure feeds, TV playlists, and bulk upload hire dates; individual users can update their own hire date in their profile.
Step‑by‑step instructions
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 work anniversaries:
In activity feeds
On TV screens via a dedicated slide
Work anniversaries are activated by default, but you control where they appear.
2. Enable work anniversaries in feeds (admin)
Go to the feed settings in SalesScreen.
Choose which feeds should show work anniversaries.
Choose for which teams the work anniversaries should appear.
Enable the Work Anniversaries feed post source.
After this, work anniversaries for users with a hire date will appear automatically in the selected feeds.
3. Show work anniversaries on TV screens (admin)
Go to your TV playlists in SalesScreen.
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.
4. Let users set their own hire date (end users)
Each user’s work anniversary is taken from their Hire Date field.
To set or update it:
Go to your Profile Settings (the same place you set your profile picture).
Find the field Hire Date.
Enter your hire date and Save.
If you’ve never set it before, this field will be empty until you add a date.
5. Bulk upload hire dates for multiple employees (admin)
Navigate to Manage → Users.
Click the Add new users button in the top‑right corner.
In the dialog, choose Create or update users from Excel.
You can now either:
Download a template from SalesScreen that shows the fields you can update, or
Upload a file from your HR system that includes at minimum:
Users’ email addresses
A column for hire date
In the Excel import wizard, map the email and hire date columns so SalesScreen updates the correct users with the correct hire dates.
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.
