Standup Settings

Daylee uses schedules to control when prompts are sent and when reports are generated.

Prompt Schedule

The prompt schedule determines when team members receive their daily standup prompts. Configure the prompt schedule from the Daily Standups option in the team overflow menu on the App Home tab (admin only).

Configurable options:

  • Days of the week — which days to send prompts (e.g., Monday through Friday). Selecting no days disables prompts entirely.

  • Time — what time to send prompts (e.g., 9:00 AM)

  • Reminders — whether to send a follow-up reminder and how long after the initial prompt. Options range from 10 minutes to 24 hours, or disabled entirely (default: 60 minutes).

  • Individual update behavior — what happens when a member submits an update: include in the summary (default), publish immediately, or don’t publish. See Teams - Daily Standups for details.

  • Custom prompt text — customize the questions Daylee asks team members.

Default schedule: 9:00 AM, Monday through Friday.

Member Timezone

Each member receives the prompt at the configured time in their own timezone, if they have set a timezone preference. Members without a timezone preference receive prompts based on the team’s timezone. This ensures prompts arrive at a convenient local time regardless of where the member is located.

Report Schedule

The report schedule determines when Daylee collects all submitted updates and generates a report. By default, the report schedule is synchronized with the prompt schedule — when you save the Daily Standups configuration, the report schedule is updated to match.

The report schedule is configured with:

  • Report type — Daily or Weekly

  • Days and time — when the report is generated, displayed in the team’s timezone

  • Delivery channel — the Slack channel where reports are posted

Admins can also generate reports on demand using /daylee standup. See Reports for details on report content and delivery.

Collection Windows

A collection window is the time period during which submitted updates are grouped into a single report.

How it works:

  • The window opens at one scheduled boundary (e.g., when the previous report was generated) and closes at the next (e.g., when the current report fires).

  • All updates submitted within this window are included in the report.

  • Updates submitted outside the window are included in the next report.

Example: If your report generates at 5:00 PM daily:

  • The collection window for Tuesday’s report runs from Monday 5:00 PM to Tuesday 5:00 PM.

  • An update submitted at 4:30 PM Tuesday is included in Tuesday’s report.

  • An update submitted at 5:30 PM Tuesday is included in Wednesday’s report.

This ensures every update is captured exactly once, regardless of when it was submitted.

Timezone Handling

Daylee stores all times internally in UTC and converts to local timezones for display and scheduling. When configuring schedules:

  • The team timezone is used as the default for all scheduling.

  • Members with a timezone preference receive prompts at the configured time in their own timezone.

  • Report times always use the team timezone, since reports are posted to a shared channel.
