Employee Dashboard Overview

The Dashboard acts as a Control Panel for users allowing them to access key information, links, Reports and so on. The Dashboard is a fully customisable component of Subscribe-HR. Each Dashboard can be specific to a User Group. As Standard Subscribe-HR allows you to configure what is located in a users dashboard by selecting the relevant options in User Group Permissions, which is located under Maintenance. Dashboards can easily be re configured and additional add-in options can be included into your system. This can be done by a Subscribe-HR Developer and is a very quick and cost effective task.

Dashboard Slider Function

The Dashboard has been built with slider type functionality for the widgets so they when you want to access e.g. policies, you click on the heading in the widget and the policies for do option slides out.
