Last modified July 3, 2025

> Communicate with your accounting office or internal parties using the Dialogue feature.


The Dialogue feature allows you to engage in threaded conversations, similar to a messaging app, with your accounting office or relevant parties within your company. You can create new dialogues, participate in existing ones, and manage their status and visibility.

### Navigating to Dialogue

1. Access the **HRM** section of the application.
2. Select the **Dialogue** tab.
    * This will display the main Dialogue list screen.

### Dialogue List Screen

**Header Area:**

* **Tab Menu**: "Dialogue" & "Employees".
* **Three-Dot Menu**: Accesses options for creating new dialogues and filtering the list.

**Body Area:**

* **Dialogue List**: Displays a list of ongoing and past conversations. Grouped by company (if you have access to multiple companies)
  * Each item in the list shows:
    * **Title**: The subject of the dialogue.
    * **Participant(s)**: Who is involved in the conversation.
    * **Message Count**: The number of messages in the thread.
    * **Status Badges**: Visual indicators such as *For Approval, Linked to wage run, Approved, or Rejected* may be displayed.

**Interaction Options (Dialogue List Screen):**

* **Filtering Dialogues**:
    1. Tap the **three-dot menu** (top-right).
    2. Select an option to filter dialogues by status (e.g., *Active, Completed*).
        *→ The list will update to show only dialogues matching the selected filter.*

* **Creating a New Dialogue**:
    1. Tap the **three-dot menu**.
    2. Select **"New dialogue"**.
        *→ The “Create new dialogue” screen opens.*
    3. On the "Create new dialogue" screen:
        * Enter a **Title** for the dialogue.
        * Select a **Company** (if you have access to more than one).
        * Optionally, **link** the dialogue to a specific wage run if applicable.
    4. Tap **"Create"**.
        *→ A new, empty dialogue thread is created and automatically opened for you to start the conversation.*

* **Opening an Existing Dialogue**:
  * Tap any dialogue in the list to open it and view the full conversation history.

### Dialogue Thread Screen

**Header Area:**

* **Dialogue Title**: Displays the title of the current conversation.
* **Back Arrow**: Navigates back to the Dialogue list.
* **Three-Dot Menu (for owners)**: If you are the owner of the dialogue, this menu provides options to manage it.

**Body Area:**

* **Message History**: Shows all messages in the thread, with sender name and timestamp for each.
* **Message Input Field**: A field at the bottom, labeled **"Add a message"**, to type your reply or new message.

**Interaction Options (Dialogue Thread Screen):**

* **Participating in a Dialogue (Sending Messages)**:
    1. Type your message in the **"Add a message"** input field.
    2. Tap the **Send** button/icon.
        *→ Your message appears in the thread, and the dialogue list will reflect the updated message count and activity.*

* **Updating Dialogue Status (Approval/Rejection)**:
  * If a dialogue has the status **"For Approval"**:
        1. Open the dialogue.
        2. Type “OK” or “Approved” in the message field and send it.
            *→ The dialogue status will update to **Approved** in the list view.*
        3. Alternatively, type “Rejected” and send it.
            *→ The dialogue status will update to **Rejected** in the list view.*

* **Managing Your Owned Dialogues**:
  * If you are the **owner** of the dialogue:
        1. Open the dialogue thread.
        2. Tap the **three-dot menu** within the thread.
        3. Choose from the available options:
            - **Edit dialogue**: Modify the title or wage-run link. Remember to **Save** your changes.
            - **Delete dialogue**: Permanently remove the dialogue and its history.
            - **Mark as complete**: Archive the dialogue. It will be removed from the active list but can be viewed by filtering for "Completed dialogues" on the main list screen.

* **Receiving Notifications**:
  * When you receive a new message in a dialogue where you are a participant, you should receive a system notification on your device (e.g., “New dialogue received.”).
