# How-To: Enable Task Summaries for Employee Lifecycle

## Background

Task summaries reduce the number of notifications Lumos sends for onboarding and offboarding tasks. This article shows you how to enable task summaries by product flow.

## How does Lumos "Quiet" my Notifications?

When enabled, Lumos will stop sending one notification for each manual task related to Onboarding or Offboarding. Instead, Lumos will send one notification every \~5 minutes to update you on how many more tasks have come in.

You will then be routed to the Web UI to address all the tasks pertaining to Onboarding/Offboarding.

## Steps to Enable

### 1. Go to [Notification settings](https://app.lumosidentity.com/settings/notifications)

Navigate to Notifications and you should see an option to Enable Task Summaries. Within, you'll see two options, Onboarding and Offboarding.

## FAQs

#### Will this summarize *all* notifications for my On- and/or Offboardings?

No. Error notifications are excluded from task summaries so that admins see them in real time.

For new hires, Lumos still sends a notification for each app that was provisioned so that new hires can see what they were provisioned to.

#### Can I customize the window before Lumos starts to quiet my On- and/or Offboarding notifications?

At this time, this window is not configurable.

#### Is this supported for other product areas?

Not at this time. To request this functionality for other types of workflows in Lumos, contact your CSM or [support@lumos.com](mailto:support@lumos.com).
