Why use dashboard action tiles?
Dashboard Action Tiles found on the home screen for intelliHR serve two main purposes.
- They allow you to create links to other parts of your HR ecosystem e.g. your payroll system or the company intranet.
- They allow specific processes to be initiated by the employee or manager e.g. incident reporting or peer feedback processes.
Because you manage the dashboard action tiles, you have more flexibility to create and maintain personalized dashboards for your business. Additionally, they enable you to establish intelliHR as a foundation where employees can begin before accessing other systems as needed.
What will dashboard action tiles allow my employees to do?
Direct employees to a URL
Dashboard Action Tiles will allow your employees to be directed to external systems such as your payroll system, an intranet or a shared area where you host and maintain your policies and procedures.
When clicking on the above tile an employee would automatically be redirected to the shared drive where you maintain your company policies and procedures.
Prompted to fill in a form
Dashboard Action Tiles will allow your employees to initiate a process by clicking on an action tile and choosing to complete a form at a time of the employee's choosing e.g. an incident report form allowing employees to report health and safety risks or complete a report on a previous incident.
Prompted to request form completion from another employee
Dashboard Action Tiles will allow your employees to initiate a process that prompts form completion from another employee such as peer feedback processes.
When clicking the above tile, the employee will be directed to select the suitable peer review form from the selection you provide and identify who the respondent of the form will be. Several variations of this process can be controlled by the administrator when creating the dashboard action tile.
Who can view Dashboard Action Tiles?
Visibility of Dashboard Action Tiles can configured to allow all users to view the tiles or you can choose to limit visibility to specific groups such as managers within your business ensuring the home screen remains clean and relevant to the end user.
