# Digests

Review team performance, identify coaching needs, and know what to focus on.

Digests bring together team performance, notable conversations, and coaching priorities over a specific period. They help managers recognize effective behaviors, identify conversations that need attention, and spot patterns across the team without reviewing every conversation individually.

Porter provides Daily and Weekly digests. Daily digests offer a closer look at recent activity, while Weekly digests provide a broader view of performance trends and recurring coaching opportunities.

## **Review Daily and Weekly digests**

Daily and Weekly digests help you understand how your team is performing and where your attention may be needed. Both highlight important findings and potential next steps, but they cover different time periods and offer different perspectives.

### **Daily digests**

Daily digests focus on recent team activity. Use them to identify conversations that may need follow-up, review notable scores and coaching opportunities, and address issues while they're still fresh.

### **Weekly digests**

Weekly digests provide a broader view of team performance across the week. Use them to recognize recurring strengths, identify patterns that may need improvement, and plan coaching around ongoing opportunities.

**Digests** are also available in the **Porter mobile app** for managers who want to check team performance while away from the web app. For a more detailed review of findings and coaching opportunities, use the web app.

## **What's included in a digest**

Each digest organizes performance findings into sections that help you move from a high-level overview to specific conversations and practical next steps.

### **Overview**

Get a quick view of how the team performed during the period covered by the digest. This section provides context around team activity, scores, and notable observations.

### **Strong conversations**

Recognize examples of effective performance that can be reinforced through coaching and training. These conversations can help you identify behaviors worth acknowledging and repeating.

### **Needs attention**

Identify conversations or performance areas that may need closer review, follow-up, or coaching. Use these findings to decide where additional context is needed and which issues deserve attention.

### **Next steps**

Turn the digest's findings into practical coaching and follow-up actions. Use the recommendations to decide what to address with the team and where to focus improvement efforts.

## **Explore digest findings with Chat with Porter**

When you want to understand a finding in more detail or decide what to focus on, you can ask Porter questions directly from the digest.

At the bottom of each **Daily** and **Weekly digest**, you'll find quick actions for common coaching questions:

* **Who needs coaching most?** Identify team members who may need the most coaching attention based on the digest.
* **What should we improve?** Explore performance areas or behaviors that may benefit from improvement.
* **Give me a coaching plan** Turn the digest's findings into a more structured coaching approach.

Select a quick action to explore that topic. You can also select **Ask Porter about this digest** to ask your own questions about the results, conversations, coaching opportunities, or recommendations.

Because Porter uses the digest and its underlying results as context, you can ask follow-up questions without having to explain the findings again. For more ways to use Chat with Porter, see [**Chat with Porter**](/docs/porter-for-managers/chat-with-porter.md).

## **Stay informed with email updates**

Email notifications let you receive digest summaries without opening Porter each time a new digest is available.

When enabled, Porter sends Daily and Weekly summaries to your email, highlighting key observations and areas that may warrant further review. You can manage these notifications from [**Settings → Digests**](/docs/settings/digests.md).

Use digests to recognize what's working, identify where your team needs support, and turn performance findings into focused coaching and follow-up. Reviewing them regularly helps you make informed decisions about where to direct your attention next.
