SHaRe Solution Overview

The purpose of the SHaRe Tool is to enable the creation of Canvases (Surveys) for the Recruitment, Human Resources or the Performance Management solution. The primary use in Recruitment is for the gathering of information on Applicants. SHaRe canvases are created and linked to a Vacancy, so that Applicants can respond and submit answers to questions. Scoring can be assigned for answers to questions in the SHaRe Canvas, so that Applicants are given a score that can then be used to rank the Applicants and then process them. Canvas Questions can have a flow to either another question or page, which allows for an efficient process for getting information from Applicants. Please note that to link the SHaRe Canvas to a Vacancy, you need to access the relevant Vacancy and then select the canvas in the drop-down field, Link Questionnaire. Please see Vacancy Information for more details. Please note that with SHaRe, you can engage people through surveys, videos, questionnaires, document-signing, contract signing etc. For Team Dashboard Users, SHaRe Canvases are Deployed/Sent from the HR or Recruitment Surveys Widget which are available in both Manager and People and Culture Dashboards. Please see the [[Dashboard-Widgets|Team Dashboard] Widgets option or both the Recruitment Surveys and HR Surveys.


Workbench Canvases for Non Team Dashboard Users

This is a feature in the Subscribe-HR Workbench, called Canvases. This area will allow for Canvases to be managed based on Security access. Employees, Managers and HR staff can only access Canvases that relate to them. Based on current canvases that are being completed and historical Canvases that have been completed.

There are 3 tabs within the Canvas Workbench (Non-Team Dashboard Users), these include:

  1. My Canvases. This tab that contains all a User's specific Surveys/Forms that have been received/responded too. If you are a manager or in HR, these canvases will also be available in All Canvases
  2. All Canvases. This is where users are able to see all the canvases that they have permission to view. e.g. Managers will be able to see their canvases and the employees they manage, whereas HR Staff will have access to all canvases for all employees.
  3. Sent Canvases. This is where users are able to view all the canvases they have deployed. ******

For more information on how to edit/set the permissions of canvases please Click Here.


Deploy New - Deploying Canvases through Wizard

This is done from the Workbench for Non Team Dashboard Users. The DEPLOY NEW button allows users to send SHaRe Forms/Surveys/Canvases to recipients for completion. Once Sent, they will be able to be seen in the SENT CANVASES tab. Deloying Canvases can be done through the HR and Recruitment Survey Widget in Manager and People and Culture Widgets in Team Dashboards.
