Dashboard Overview

This topic explains the different areas a user may access when granted by their system rights.

The Dashboard provides real-time scheduling and person information. Content is displayed in tiles for users to easily navigate to another area of the application.

Tiles included in this application are: Schedule, Accruals, My Information, Paybacks, Features Vacancies, Quick Links, and Requests.

The Dashboard tiles display:

  • *Shift Schedule
  • Unallocated Time 1
  • Additional assignments
  • Opportunities for extra work
  • Availability status
  • Request statuses for the next two weeks
  • Paybacks (Who Owes Me/I Owe)
  • **Featured Vacancies 2
  • Accrual Balances 3
  • Quick links to...
    • Update your password
    • Personal History Report
    • Contact Log
    • Edit Counts on the Threshold Calendar

*The Dashboard displays shifts that start from today and onward. This means, if the staffing record starts on yesterday’s shift and through the next day, then that shift start appears yesterday and would not appear through the next day on the Dashboard.

** To post vacancies on the dashboard see: Post Event Vacancies on the Dashboard

Featured Vacancies

Featured vacancies display on the Roster when the event has vacancy flags set. The standard event functions display minimal featured vacancy details.

Extra Duty Events provide additional details about the event and position, such as vendor name, event name, location, URLs, and more.
