The Employee Dashboard

Karishma Updated by Karishma

Overview

When you log in to T&A as an Employee, the Employee dashboard is displayed. For example:

employee dashboard

Your Dashboard is set up for you by a Supervisor and includes one or more tabs containing Widgets. These are used to display T&A information and provide access to the T&A features available to you. Widgets can also be used to display external websites and other information. In the previous example a tab labelled 'T&A' is open and there is a second tab labelled 'Useful links'. Click on a tab to open it.

If you see shortcut icons but no tabs and Widgets when you log in to T&A, your Dashboard has not been set up. For example:

You will need to ask your Supervisor to set up your Dashboard.

Widgets

Widgets are containers for the information you see on your Dashboard. There are different types of Widgets in T&A, each are explained in more detail below:

  • Summary widgets — display dynamic T&A information. For example the Entitlements widget might display information about your current holiday entitlement. Clicking a Summary widget opens the relevant T&A page.
  • HTML widgets — display information from outside T&A such as external websites. For example, a website displaying the local weather or your company intranet might be displayed in an HTML widget.
  • Menu and Shortcuts widgets — display links to the T&A features available to you.

Widgets are arranged in tabs on your Dashboard. The tabs and Widgets that you see are set up by a Supervisor.

Summary Widgets

Summary widgets display dynamic T&A information on your Dashboard such as your current holiday Entitlement, your picture and Flex balance, if you are a Flex employee. The following is an example of a Summary widget for an Employee's Entitlement:

entitlements

The information displayed in a Summary widget is updated when a change is made in T&A. For example, if you take a planned absence, the values for 'Taken', 'Planned' and 'Unallocated' will change in your Entitlements widget.

If you click on a Summary widget, the relevant T&A page opens. For example, clicking the Entitlements widget opens the Entitlements page.

HTML Widgets

HTML widgets can be used to display external information such as websites. The following is an example of a Dashboard tab containing two HTML widgets each displaying YouTube videos:

The Menu widget contains links to the T&A features available to you such as Change PIN, Clock In, Clock out etc. For example:

menu widget

Clicking an item in the Menu widget opens the relevant page.

You may need to scroll to find an item in the list, or you may search for an item by starting to type your search term in the search box at the top of the menu.

Shortcut Widgets

The Shortcuts widget contains icons representing T&A features available to you such as Change PIN, Employee details, Clock in/out etc. For example:

shortcut widgets

Clicking an icon in the Shortcuts widget opens the relevant page.

The Shortcuts widget can be customised and so may not include icons for all of the T&A features available to you. In this case you can find the feature you want to use in the menu. If you cannot see a feature in the menu, your administrator has not made it available to you. You may need to scroll to find an icon in the Widget.
