Stat Dashboard Widgets

Stat Widgets are statistical Widgets. Only 4 Stat Widgets can appear on each standard Dashboard. No Stat Widgets can be added to 'extra' Dashboards.

There are four standard Stat Widgets included with each of the following Dashboards:

  • Recruitment.
  • Onboarding.
  • My Info.
  • Manager.
  • People & Culture.

These standard Stat Widgets are fixed, and the list of standard Stat Widgets for each Dashboard type are listed at the beginning of the Wiki page for that Dashboard.

  1. To configure the Stat Widgets, first you will have to delete one (if there are already 4 there, you will need to make room for a new one by deleting one of the other 4).
  2. If there are less than 4 widgets, go straight to the search field and search for the Widget you want to add.
  3. Search for the name of the Widget you want to add in the "Search Stat Widgets" search field.
  4. Click on the name of the Widget you want and it will be added to the Stat Widgets section of the associated Dashboard.


Large Dashboard Widgets

The Large Dashboard Widgets (full and half-width) are Widgets that contain data related to different types of records, functionality or solutions, e.g. Personal Details, Performance Management, HR Surveys, On/Cross/Offboarding etc. Only 12 large (full or half-width) Dashboard Widgets can appear on each Dashboard.

  1. To configure the Dashboard Widgets, first you will have to delete one (if there are already 12 there, you will need to make room for a new one by deleting one of the other 12). Otherwise click the "+Create New" button to create a new dashboard.
  2. If there are less than 12 Widgets, go straight to the search field and search for the Widget you want to add.
  3. Search for the name of the Widget you want to add in the "Search Dashboard Widgets" search field.
  4. Click on the name of the Widget you want and it will be added to the Dashboards Widgets section of the associated Dashboard.

Dashboard Widgets provide an extra layer of Configuration that enables you to specify the following:

  • Access Level - there are three options for assigning the access level for a Widget:
    • Employee.
    • Manager.
    • System Administrator or HR/P&C Manager.

Depending on which access level is specified, that Widget will only display data relative to the User's Permissions when it is added to a Dashboard. This means that Users will only ever be able to see data relevant to their User Group and Permissions.

System Admin Users can change the User Groups and Permissions in Objects > Permissions.

About Widget functionality and flexibility:

  • Each dashboard can have a combination of Widgets and there are four categories of Widgets including Stat Widgets, Dashboard Widgets, Advanced Reports Widgets and Standard Reports Widgets.
  • You can utilise the search fields under each Widget section to search for specific widgets and add them. When a Widget is added, it will appear under the relevant section, e.g. searching and adding a Stat Widget will appear under the "Stat Widget" section of the corresponding Dashboard.
  • To rearrange Widgets, simply click and drag widget to the desired position.
  • To delete a Widget, simply click the "X" button located on the top left corner of each Widget.
  • You can apply further specific Widget configuration by clicking onto the gear icon located on the top right corner of the Widget and to the left of the "X" (delete) button. NOTE: This functionality is only available on Dashboard Widgets (not Stat or Reporting Widgets).

The Dashboard configurations available via the gear icon include:

  • Access Levels - this determines what details Users are able to see based on User Groups and Permissions. E.g. only the User's details (Employee), their team's details (Manager) or every users' details (System Administrator or HR/P&C Manager).
  • Search Mode (for Manager/Admin) - This is only available to Managers and System Administrators. This controls the filters to what can be searched within the widget. E.g. The team relevant to logged in user (Team) or everyone in the system (Admin).
  • Widget Title Settings - allows Users to change the title of the Widget.


Standard Reports Widgets

Standard Reports Widgets are graphical Widgets. Only 12 Standard Reports Widgets can appear on each Dashboard.

  1. To configure the Standard Reports Widgets, first you will have to delete one (if there are already 12 there, you will need to make room for a new one by deleting one of the other 12).
  2. If there are less than 12 widgets, go straight to the search field and search for the Widget you want to add.
  3. Search for the name of the Widget you want to add in the "Search Standard Reports Widgets" search field.
  4. Click on the name of the Widget you want and it will be added to the Standard Reports Widgets section of the associated Dashboard.


Advanced Reports & Metrics Widgets

Advanced Reports & Metrics Widgets are HR Metrics Reports Widgets. Only 12 Advanced Reports & Metrics Widgets can appear on each Dashboard.

  1. To configure the Advanced Reports & Metrics Widgets, first you will have to delete one (if there are already 12 there, you will need to make room for a new one by deleting one of the other 12).
  2. If there are less than 12 widgets, go straight to the search field and search for the Widget you want to add.
  3. Search for the name of the Widget you want to add in the "Search Advanced Reports & Metrics Widgets" search field.
  4. Click on the name of the Widget you want and it will be added to the Advanced Reports & Metrics Widgets section of the associated Dashboard.

Remember to always click "Save" to save your changes.

Mandatory fields are marked with Red Asterisk, the record will not be saved unless mandatory fields are filled in first.

When a Dashboard has been created, they can be selected from the Dashboard menu (dropdown from the top left corner of the Home screen/page). After a User has accessed a Dashboard once, it is "saved" to their User profile.

NOTE: Any changes or adjustments a User makes to their own Dashboard configuration will apply only to them / their Dashboards and Widgets. To make global Dashboard configuration changes (that apply to the entire organisation), this can by done by System Administrators via General > Development > Dashboards.
