Notifications, digital signature and employee portal

Editorial explanation of the most frequently consulted cross-functional flows within the system. These three elements are not operational modules, but they permeate all the others and are usually the visible aspect seen by both workers and managers.

The three cross-functional components

🔔

Notifications

Automatic notifications via email and within the platform when a user action is required.

✍️

Digital signature

Common mechanism to formalize acceptance or validation in any module.

👷

Employee Portal

Single point of access for the worker: their pending and completed tasks.

Notifications: how they work

Each module triggers notifications when an event occurs that requires attention: a pending signature request, a scheduled inspection, a training session the worker is required to attend, a measure with an upcoming closing date.

The user sees them in two places:

  • In the notification bell within Sabentis (also in the mobile app).
  • In your email, if the notification is set to email.
💡 Good practiceBefore activating a bulk module (signatures, training), check with your administrator which notifications are active and which ones are sent by email to avoid overwhelming the system.

Digital signature: how it integrates with the rest

Digital signatures don’t exist in isolation: they are a service that any module can invoke. For example, a risk assessment automatically generates a signature request for the affected employee; a company policy requires a read receipt; a training record collects the attendee’s signature.

The person in charge initiates the signature from the originating module, the employee signs it from the Employee Portal or from the notification bell, and the evidence is anchored to the original record.

Employee portal: what each user sees

The Employee Portal is the view that a non-technical employee sees upon logging into Sabentis. It centralizes:

  • Documents pending signature.
  • Training assigned and completed.
  • PPE delivered and pending.
  • Job risks and associated measures.
  • Incidents that have been reported.
📌 RememberEach employee only sees their own data. Cross-visibility between employees is not enabled by design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I disable emails and only leave internal notifications?
Yes. Each type of notification can be configured to go only within Sabentis, only via email, or through both channels.
Does the employee need a username and password?
Yes, each employee has their own access to the Portal. The authentication method (username/password, corporate SSO, or email magic link) depends on your instance configuration.
Is there a mobile app for the Employee Portal?
Yes. The employee can view and sign documents from the Sabentis mobile app, without needing to access them through a browser.
Do signatures made on the portal have the same validity as those from the module?
Yes. The signature is the same regardless of where it originates. The evidence generated is identical.
