These subtle differences in speech-only application behavior may be preferable to those with impaired vision.

Note, enabling this option prevents sending messages using Work Assistant. Although enabling this option limits some capabilities of the Work Assistant for Alexa app, it may be useful if young children have access to your Alexa devices.<\/p>\n<h3>Notifications<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<h4><b class=\"titleBox\">Select Voice Notifications<\/b><\/h4>\n<table class=\"options_table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"col1\" style=\"width: 313.016px;\"><strong><input checked=\"checked\" name=\"notify_Message\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"Y\" \/>Forward my W2W messages<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"col2\" style=\"width: 206.438px;\">&#8220;Message Notifications&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"col1\" style=\"width: 313.016px;\"><strong><input checked=\"checked\" name=\"notify_MgrAlert\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"Y\" \/>Receive Urgent Alerts<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"col2\" style=\"width: 206.438px;\">&#8220;Alert Notifications&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"col1\" style=\"width: 313.016px;\"><input checked=\"checked\" name=\"notify_BBoard\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"Y\" \/><strong>Forward new bulletin board posts<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"col2\" style=\"width: 206.438px;\">&#8220;Bulletin Board Notifications&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"col1\" style=\"width: 313.016px;\"><input checked=\"checked\" name=\"notify_Tradeboard\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"Y\" \/><strong>Shift I can work added to tradeboard<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"col2\" style=\"width: 206.438px;\">&#8220;Tradeboard Notifications&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4><b class=\"titleBox\">Send Voice Notifications When Employee<\/b><\/h4>\n<table class=\"options_table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"col1\"><input checked=\"checked\" name=\"notify_Trade\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"Y\" \/>A<strong>ccepts my trade\/pickup shift offer<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"col2\">&#8220;Trade Notifications&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"col1\"><strong><input checked=\"checked\" name=\"notify_RequestTrade\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"Y\" \/>Requests to trade\/pickup my shift<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"col2\">&#8220;Trade Request Notifications&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4><b class=\"titleBox\">Send Voice Notifications When Manager<\/b><\/h4>\n<table class=\"options_table\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"col1\"><strong><input checked=\"checked\" name=\"notify_MgrPubs\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"Y\" \/>Publishes schedule<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"col2\">&#8220;Schedule Published Notifications&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"col1\"><input checked=\"checked\" name=\"notify_MgrUnPubs\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"Y\" \/><strong>UnPublishes a schedule<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"col2\">&#8220;Schedule Unpublished Notifications&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"col1\"><strong><input checked=\"checked\" name=\"notify_MgrChangeShift\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"Y\" \/>Changes my published shift<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"col2\">&#8220;Shift Change Notifications&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"col1\"><input checked=\"checked\" name=\"notify_MgrApproveTrade\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"Y\" \/><strong>Approves\/denies my trade\/pickup<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"col2\">&#8220;Approve Trade Notifications&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"col1\"><input checked=\"checked\" name=\"notify_MgrApproveTimeOff\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"Y\" \/><strong>Approves\/denies time off request<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"col2\">&#8220;Approve Timeoff Notifications&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"col1\"><strong><input checked=\"checked\" name=\"notify_MgrCreateTimeOff\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"Y\" \/>Creates a time off for me<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"col2\">&#8220;Manager Timeoff Notifications&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After setting up your Alexa &#8220;Work Assistant&#8221; Skill you can customize your Options and Notifications.
