Employee Center Dashboard Publishing Feature
The Employee Center Dashboard Publishing feature includes the following:
-
Employee Center Publishing global permission – Users with this global permission can publish a standard Employee Center dashboard for all Employee Center users. All Employee Center users see the same layout and the same portlets when they log in to NetSuite with their Employee Center role.
-
News Item record and permission – Users who are assigned roles that include the News Items permission can create News Item records. News items appear on the Company News portlet on the Employee Center dashboard. For more information, see Working With News Items.
-
Manager dashboards in the Employee Center – Employee Center users who are supervisors or managers have two dashboards in the Employee Center:
-
An Employee dashboard, where they can book time off for themselves, enter their own expense reports, keep track of contacts, and so on.
-
A Manager dashboard, where they can see information about and approve requests from their direct reports.
More information about the Manager dashboard is available in the Employee Center help.
-
For information on enabling features, see Enabling Features.
The Employee Center Dashboard Publishing feature is only available for accounts with SuitePeople HR provisioned. For more information, see SuitePeople Overview.
After you enable the Employee Center Dashboard Publishing feature, any Employee Center dashboards that individual employees previously customized are replaced with a default dashboard. This dashboard can be edited only by users with the Employee Center Publishing global permission. If you disable the Employee Center Dashboard Publishing feature, previous versions of the Employee Center dashboard are restored.
The Employee Center Publishing Permission
When you enable the Employee Center Dashboard Publishing feature, the Global Permissions feature is also enabled. This is true unless it is already enabled. For more information, see Using the Global Permissions Feature. To use the publishing tool, you must assign the Employee Center Publishing global permission to a user. This user can then publish the Employee Center dashboard from the Employee Center role. Other users cannot customize their own dashboards, and a lock icon (
) appears on the dashboard. For more information about publishing the Employee Center dashboard, in the Employee Center help, see the section “Customizing the Employee Center for Your Organization”.
