What is the Dashboard?
The Dashboard sits within the Me page on Deputy and displays items related to scheduling, task management, leave and timesheet approval that are relevant to the manager viewing it at the time.
Clicking on action cards takes you straight to the corresponding item in Deputy.
How to access the Dashboard
All users with an access level of Supervisor, Location Manager and System Administrator can access the Dashboard by logging on to the Deputy website and clicking on Me as shown below:
Users with an access level of Employee will still see an overview of their own Calendar, details about their shifts, any available shifts and requesting time off but will not have access to the Dashboard as shown below:
Dashboard sections
The Dashboard displays actionable items in three sections:
- Needs Attention - Notifies you of any shift items that need to be actioned, i.e. open shifts, shift swaps
- Needs Approval - Displays leave requests and timesheets which need to be approved/rejected
- What's happening? - Allows you to see a snapshot of the day's shift, including the number of team members running late, people on leave or birthdays for that day
Note: Open shifts requiring approval will only begin to appear on the Me tab up to 8 days before the shift is due to start. If you need to review and approve an open shift more than 8 days before the shift then please click directly on the shift in the schedule or use the Deputy mobile app to review and approve open shifts.
Below is an example of the Dashboard:
Note: All cards in the Dashboard are clickable. Clicking an item in the collapsible card will take you to the corresponding section within Deputy to action the item.
Additional note regarding permissions/access levels: The Dashboard view is based on permission levels. It is only visible to System Administrators, Location Managers, and Supervisors. The viewable cards you see will be based on what functionality your user access level allows in Deputy.
