# Digest

The digest is a periodic email summary of upcoming or overdue activities. It complements [notifications](/guides/configurations/notifications-and-digest), which are instead single messages tied to one event.

## What Can Be Configured in the Digest

From the user menu, open **“User preferences”** and go to **Digest**, where you can:

-   Set digest preferences for each section: PPE, training, appointments, maintenance, procedures, and health surveillance;
-   Define the **time interval** for receiving digests;
-   Choose the digest frequency (daily, weekly, monthly) and the exact day of delivery.
