Features in Staff Management
This page is a reference. Per feature you see what it does, where you find it and who uses it.
Employment files
- What: digital file per employee with more than 60 fields, such as registrations, diplomas, vaccinations, contract and leave.
- Where: My employment file; managed via Settings → Organization → Users.
- Who: employees see their own file; the practice manager manages all files.
The tabs in an employment file
A file is divided into tabs. Along the top you will find at least these four:
| Tab | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Information | Your details, split into basic details, work details and terms of employment. |
| Documents | Every document belonging to this file. This is also where you add one. |
| Meeting reports | The reports of meetings and reviews. |
| Goals | Personal and professional goals, with their progress. |
Depending on your role and the modules your practice uses, more tabs may be visible.
Documents in a file
Documents live under the documents tab of the employment file itself. That is the place for personal papers: a diploma, a certificate, proof of vaccination, a copy of your ID.
Three things worth knowing:
- Permissions decide who may do what. Adding a document to your own file is a different permission from adding one to somebody else's file, and the same goes for deleting. Your practice sets this per role — see Roles and permissions.
- Your dashboard shows what is still missing. Missing Documents lists the papers your practice still expects from you; View takes you straight there.
- Don't confuse it with Cloud storage & Protocols. That holds the practice's documents and protocols, for everyone. Personal documents belong in the employment file, which sits behind an extra password check.
Easy Contracts
- What: create contracts (via Add New) with templates, send them and track the signature status. With View archive and filters per template or employee.
