# Common Pages

# In-app Messaging

In the SweldoNow app, there is a common messaging tool available at the bottom of every details page. This messaging tool serves as a communication channel between users within the app.

The purpose of the messaging tool is to facilitate seamless and efficient communication between different stakeholders involved across various functionalities, including payroll processing, attendance management, project management, and more. It allows users, whether they are the page owner or the approver, to send messages to each other directly from the details page.

The messaging tool is important as it provides a centralized and convenient means of communication, eliminating the need for external email or messaging platforms. It enables users to quickly discuss and resolve any payroll-related queries, clarifications, or concerns in real-time. This promotes collaboration, transparency, and effective decision-making throughout the payroll processing workflow.

# Traceability Tool

In the SweldoNow app, there is an Activities History tool located at the bottom of every details page, alongside the Messaging tool. The Activities History tool serves as a comprehensive tracker that records and displays all the activities related to a specific page.

# 2 Factor Authentication

2-Factor Authentication (2FA) is a security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your account. It is enabled by default for enhanced security. The purpose of 2FA is to ensure that only authorized individuals can access your account, even if they have obtained your login credentials.

The importance of 2FA lies in its ability to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to your account. By requiring a second verification step, typically through a separate device or application, 2FA provides an additional level of security beyond just a username and password. This helps to protect sensitive information, prevent unauthorized transactions, and safeguard your personal data from potential cyber threats.

It is strongly recommended to keep 2FA enabled at all times to maintain the highest level of security for your account. Disabling this feature should only be done if there are exceptional circumstances and after carefully evaluating the associated risks.

Please note that if you disable 2FA and log in from a different device, the feature will be automatically enabled again to ensure the ongoing protection of your account.
