Getting Started - Activating Your Account

Step 1: Accept the Invitation & Create Your Password

Click on the link sent via email once your Administrator has invited you to Kudos. You can only activate your Kudos account through the email link from your administrator. Click Start Using Kudos.

This link will direct you to a page to set your password. Your password must have a minimum of 8 characters, 1 upper case, 1 number, and 1 symbol. Click Set My Password. 

Step 2: Edit Your Personal Information

Verify your personal details and make any necessary edits. You won’t be able to change your job title, but feel free to contact your Administrator if you have any questions or concerns.

Connecting your Kudos Account to LinkedIn will allow Kudos to post Kudos messages that you send or received to be displayed in the "All Updates" section of your LinkedIn wall.

If you choose to link your Kudos account with LinkedIn, click Connect your Kudos Account to LinkedIn. This will take you to LinkedIn.com and prompt you to sign in to your personal LinkedIn account.

Once you have signed in you will see the confirmation that your LinkedIn account was successfully linked with your Kudos account. Click Get Started.

Step 3: Accessing Your Settings

You will now be directed to your Me Page on Kudos. To set up your personal profile click Edit on your Profile Image, or by clicking your profile image in the top right-hand corner and selecting My Settings.

Step 4: Add a Profile Photo & Personal Information to Your Profile

To add or update your profile photo, click Choose File under Update My Picture. Select a photo from your computer to upload to Kudos. Your profile image should be square with dimensions not smaller than 220px X 220px. Accepted file types are .png, .jpg, and .gif and can be up to 5MB.

In your profile, you may not be able to edit certain details, such as your job title or who you report to. To change this information, please contact your Administrator using the link provided under Reports To. All additional profile fields are optional.

Clicking on the Private setting will allow only you to view the details. The Public setting will allow all users within your organization to view the details.

In order to add information to your profile, click the + Add School/+ Add Family Member/+ Add Website button at the bottom of each section. If you wish to edit any information, click on the text, edit the information, and click Save. To delete information, click the Remove button and confirm that the information has been deleted.  

You’re now ready to start sending Kudos and recognizing your team members!
