How the People app and the HR panel are organised

The People app brings together the employee records, contracts, absences, training and the HR indicators. It opens on Indicators: figures for the people of the active company and what is pending.

The menus and who sees them​

Each profile opens the People app with the menus that belong to it. Checked on screen with the HR manager, Payroll and Management profiles:

  • HR manager
    • Home: Indicators and HR panel.
    • Workers: all the screens (Workers, Departments, Org chart, Documents of the workers, Directory, Workers' requests, Confirmations by the workers).
    • Contracts and departures, Leave and absences, Review (Skills inventory) and Business trips: yes.
    • Work time: Attendances, Scales of shifts, Telework agreements, Modo quiosque (kiosk mode).
    • Training: all the screens.
    • Credit of hours: Overview, Account, Manual entries. Does not see Declarations at the exit.
  • Payroll
    • Has no Home.
    • Workers: only Documents of the workers, Directory and Workers' requests. Does not have the Workers list.
    • Contracts and departures: Contracts, Trial periods, Worker-student status, Terminations and Employment certificates.
    • Leave and absences: yes, but without the decision buttons (see How to approve holiday and absence requests).
    • Work time: only Scales of shifts and Telework agreements.
    • Training: only Training actions, Training hours of the year, Training board and Director's view.
    • Credit of hours: all four, with Declarations at the exit.
    • Review: Excessive turnover. Business trips: yes.
  • Management
    • Home: only Indicators (does not have the HR panel).
    • Workers: only the Directory.
    • Contracts and departures: only Tax benefits and raises.
    • Training: only Training board and Director's view.
    • Credit of hours: Overview, Account, Manual entries and Declarations at the exit.
    • Does not have Leave and absences, Work time, Review or Business trips: approves absences in Management › Approve.

The Configure and Time off and attendance setup menus only exist for the system administrator. The Worker does not have the People app: only My space.

The Indicators​

The filters at the top are the period (This quarter, Previous quarter, This year, Previous year), the department and the people. There are six tabs: Overview, To do, Quality of the data, People, Absences and Departures and retention.

  • People, Turnover (departures divided by the average headcount), Absenteeism (days of absence divided by the working days of the period; holidays are not absences), To do and Complete files. The explanation is in How the figures are calculated, above the cards.
  • Amounts in euros only appear for groups of 5 or more people.
  • To do lists each pending item with its deadline, for example “Holidays still to be scheduled: 22 of 22 day(s) still to schedule” (overdue since 15/04/2026; the number goes down as holidays are booked) or “Last day to tell about the end of a fixed term”.
  • Quality of the data shows what is filled in on the records (each field with its percentage: in the example, Address is at 0 % and the other fields at 100 %; the values change as the records are completed) and the records with the most gaps.

The HR panel​

Home › HR panel is the list of the same pending items, grouped by type (Contract ends soon, Holidays still to be scheduled, High holiday balance, Training hours missing, No seniority date…). Open a group to see the employee, the detail, the date, the severity, the days or hours and the state (Open).

Important notes​

  • Today the Deal with, Plan and Complete shortcuts of the Alerts box do not open any screen: use the To do tab or the HR panel.
  • The figures depend on the active company (top right corner).
