Celebrations and contact visibility

Birthday and work-anniversary nudges, and who can see a coworker's phone number.

For admins
Updated July 26, 2026

Two people settings live together on Settings → People: whether Atteny highlights birthdays and work anniversaries, and who may see a coworker's phone number.

Only administrators can change these settings — Settings appears in the sidebar for administrators only, and the server rejects a change from any other role.

Team celebrations

  1. 1

    Turn the toggles on

    Go to Settings → People and find Team celebrations. Switch on Show birthdays, Show work anniversaries, or both, then select Save.

    Make sure the dates are filled in

    Birthdays come from Date of birth on a person's Personal tab — everyone can always fill in their own, whatever your self-service settings say. Anniversaries come from Start Date on the Employment tab, which an admin or manager sets.

    Watch the Dashboard

    A Team celebrations card appears at the bottom of the Dashboard for everyone in the company. It looks 30 days ahead and labels each entry Today, Tomorrow or in X days — birthdays first, then anniversaries, soonest at the top of each group.

Only active people appear, and work anniversaries start at the first full year — someone who joined last month isn't listed. Ages and birth years are never shown, only the day and month.

This is a Dashboard card only — Atteny sends no birthday email or push notification. With both toggles off, or with nothing coming up in the next 30 days, the card disappears completely.

Who can see phone numbers

Contact info visibility decides whether phone numbers reach the rest of the team. The default is Managers & admins only.

The number is stripped out on the server, so it never reaches a browser that isn't allowed to see it. The setting covers the phone number only — names and work email addresses stay visible to anyone who can open the team list.

The team list itself sits under Employees, which only administrators and managers have in their sidebar, and the phone app has no team directory. So Everyone relaxes the rule rather than giving your staff a new place to browse each other's numbers.

Managers see full profiles only for people at the locations assigned to them — anyone outside that scope falls back to the limited view a coworker gets. See Employee profiles.
