# Module Overview

The Recognition page is a central feature designed to foster a positive and supportive environment within a ERG. It allows users to acknowledge the efforts and achievements of their colleagues or themselves. The page is divided into several sections, each offering a unique way to interact with and track recognitions.

- Indicate whether the recognition is from an individual (Person) or group (Team.) 
  - When reconition by a team is selected, the Who Is Recognizing field can be updated to any text.
- Search for the user to recognize. 
- Enter the text of the recognition in Recognition Description. 
- Click Submit to post the recognition.
