Understanding the Manager Dashboard Content and Layout

The Manager Dashboard displays various pagelets showing a quick synopsis of information about your direct report. Many of the links within the pagelets will direct you to actually components throughout the HCM system with links on those pages to return you to the dashboard.

The Manager Dashboard provides actionable summaries of information for a manager’s direct and indirect reports. A number of pagelets display information specific to the user. From the pagelets, managers have the ability to focus on items needing their attention and to act on those items by providing an immediate update from within the dashboard or by transferring to a specific application component. For example, managers can complete approval requests or initiate manager self service transactions for a specific employee by clicking on the Actions link all from the Manager Dashboard.

You can access the Manager Dashboard from the root menu, Manager Self Service, and the Direct Line Reports page in the Org Chart Viewer.

This example illustrates the Manager Dashboard page.
