Employee Department

To create an overview and structure your portal, it is possible to create employee departments. This is done by clicking on the “employee department” icon (this is item No. 2 in the first image of this guide). By clicking here, you will open the following window:

1. It is possible to structure the overview in both departments and units. The window always opens in “department”, but here at the top you can choose whether you want to access departments or units.
2. When you want to create a new department, click here. Clicking on this icon will open two fields. In the first, you must specify which name you want to give the department. In the second field, select which employees belongs under this department.
3. Here you can see an overview of all existing departments. It is possible to edit a department by clicking on the dark blue icon on the left. This will allow you to correct the name of the department, as well as choose which employees belong to the department. In addition, it is possible to delete a department by clicking on the red icon next to the dark blue one.

If you need to create additional structure in your departments, it is possible to create units after which you can divide your different departments. To access units, click on unit, at the top of the window (item 1 in the image above).

Units work in the same way as departments, and the window is structured in the same way. The only difference from department to unit is that you can’t choose to add employees to a unit, but instead must choose from the existing departments.

Assigning to employees directly from the element “Employees”

It is possible to assign data elements directly from the overview of employees. For example, this feature might be relevant in cases where data elements need to be assigned to multiple employees or multiple data elements need to be assigned at once. Below you will see a guide on how to assign data items directly from the employee overview. The guide is divided into a step-by-step walkthrough:

1. To access the function of assigning data elements, click here. This causes the icon (4) to become active and the boxes to the left of the employees (points 2 and 3) to appear.
2. In this box it is possible to click if you want to select all employees.
3. Next to each employee there will be a box, as shown in the picture. You must click next to the employees to whom you want to assign data elements. Once you have selected an employee, the field will turn blue with a check mark.
4. Once you have selected the employees you want to assign to, click here. This will open a window that may look like this:

1. Here you can see the three steps you need to go through. When you click on the assigning icon, which is point 4 in the previous image, you will always start by having to choose which data elements you want to assign. Next, you need to choose an expiration date and finally you will come to a page where you send the selected data elements to the employees you have chosen to assign to.
2. Here’s a summary of the employees you’re assigning data elements to. By clicking on this bar, you will be able to see the names of the different employees selected.
3. This is an overview of the different data elements. To assign data elements, click the small square to the left of each data element. If you click the top box, you choose to assign all data elements. You will be able to see which data elements you have selected by the small square next to each data element turning blue with a check mark.

Once you have selected the data elements you want to assign, you will be able to scroll down to the bottom of the window, where in the right corner you can click on an arrow, after which you can select the expiration date. It will look like this:

1. Here you have a calendar overview where you can click through to the specific expiration date that you want to choose.
2. If you do not want the assignment of data elements to expire, click here. In this case, the system will create an expiration date that is set 100 years forward.
3. Once you have selected the expiration date, click here to get to the final page of the window.

Finally, you will be able to see a summary of your selections before the assignment is sent out to employees. This page could look like this:

1. Here you can see an overview of which employees you have selected and which data elements you want to assign. Please note that all employees selected, will be assigned all data elements selected.
2. When you want to send the assignment out to the employees, click here.

Import CSV

If you need to import a long Employees list, you can use this feature. When you click the button, a dialog box will pop up where you can upload a CSV file. Here you can see an example of how it could look:

In this example, the first line of the file is headers. If your file also has a header row, turn on Has headers (1). This removes it from the history and won’t be imported.  In addition, in the example, Identification and Language are in the wrong columns (2), so these must be switched so that they are positioned correctly relative to the summary. See an example of how it should look, when importing the CSV:

Employee data elements

In the column “employee data elements” on the far left of the overview, it is possible to get an overview of which data elements the individual employee is assigned. When you click on the icon in one of the employees’ columns, you will open a window that might look like this:

1. When the overview opens, you will simply be able to see the different headings for the data elements assigned to the employee. By clicking on the small arrow to the left of the header, you will open more information about which data elements are assigned.
2. Here you can see when the assignment expires, which is the date when the employee can no longer edit. It is possible to edit this, by clicking on the date and choosing a new one. It is also possible to delete the assignment by clicking on the red icon.

Overview of each employee; Read requests, E-learning and Inspections

It is possible to get an overview of the status of the individual employee’s tasks, which have been sent out through the portal.

The overview looks like this:

1. These three columns are expressions of the different types of elements that can be sent out as tasks to the employee through the portal.
2. Here you can see the status of the individual employee’s reading requests. Red indicates that a read request has not been completed, while green indicates that it has. If you want to get more insight into which read requests have been sent to the individual employee, you can click on the dark blue icon with a sheet. This will open a window where you can see the name of the file sent and the status of each read request. It is possible to send a reminder, delete a reading request and gain more insight into the time of sending the reading request as well as any reminders. You can also create a read request directly from this window by clicking on the “add reading request” icon which will be in the upper left corner of the window that opens.
3. This overview shows the status of e-learnings that has been sent out. As with read requests, the colors in the bar indicate whether a e-learning has been completed or not. By clicking on the dark blue icon with a light bulb to the left of the bar, you can open a closer insight into the e-learning. Here it will be possible to see which e-learning has been completed, get a closer insight into the results of the individual e-learnings that have been completed and send out reminders to complete an e-learning.
4. The last type of elements that can be sent out as a task to the employee are inspections. Here, the bar will show red when there are inspections that are overdue, green when there are inspections that have been carried out, and yellow when there are inspections that are ongoing. By clicking on the dark blue icon to the left of the bar with a check mark, you can open a closer overview of the individual employee’s inspections. The window that opens, by clicking here, gives an overview of all inspections and their status. In addition, it is possible to open the individual inspections, delete and assign new inspections to employees. You assign inspections to employees directly from the window by clicking on the icon at the top left side of the window where it says, “add inspection series”.
