Overview#
Personality NextGen (NG, v5.00+) includes a Business Intelligence Dashboard feature for the Administrative, Manager and Employee applications.This document includes a list (based on v5.03) of the available Dashboards by Role, the currently available components (panels/reports/forms) provided, and instructions on using/editing Dashboards and Panels.
Components of the Dashboard#
The Dashboard includes the following components:Panels #
High Line uses the word 'Panel' to describe any graph, table and/or report that is created by/within the Dashboard. A description of the available Panels is provided in later sections.Groupings of Panels are used in the Static and Dynamic Dashboards.
Static Dashboard
Static Dashboards are delivered as 'home' pages that cannot be edited by users. They consist of 4 - 5 pre-defined Panels in a single page. The intent is to provide a simple 'home' page for various users. A library of Static Dashboards (designed by Role) has been provided by High Line.
Security: Users must be given security access for each of the panels included in the static dashboard, as well as to the related drill-into forms. For example, the 'MyPayStub' Panel links to either pay stubs for printing or to disbursement information; the 'Profile' Panel links to the Employment Profile and/or Leave Balances. If a drill-into form is available for the user, mouse-over and visual cues will indicate.
Dynamic Dashboard (BMDD)
Dynamic Dashboards allow individual users to choose from a library of available Panels, to create their own dashboard(s). A library of Panels (designed by Role) has been provided by High Line.
Security: Users must be given security access for any panels to be available, as well as to related drill-into forms. For example, the 'DepartmentBudget' Panel drills to a report of Positions, and then to the Position (IDPS) form and/or the Posting (IRPO) form. If a drill-into form is available for the User, mouse-over and visual cues will indicate. The Dynamic Dashboard (BMDD) can also be turned on/off for Users/Roles based on function security.
Panels indicated as intended for Managers (see 'audience' in the Panels list) respect Manager Hierarchy (direct reports) as well as security defined on the IMSV (Assign Security Rights) form.
Panels indicated as intended for Administrators (see 'audience' in the Panels list) respect security defined on the IMSV (Assign Security Rights) form.
Data Grids (BEDG - HR Data Grid)
A simple reporting tool is optionally available; with base HR information. Reports created with the tool can be stored/output to various formats, and/or can be added by a user to their Dynamic Dashboard. Additional grids can be added over time; currently restricted to the HR Data Grid (BEDG).
Security: The Data Grid respects Manager Hierarchy (direct reports) as well as security defined on the IMSV (Assign Security Rights) form. The Grid (BEDG) can also be turned on/off for Users/Roles based on function security.

- Note - names may change as additional boards are provided. Search Functions (IMFN, IMFDH) with the following: %Dashboard for updated names/options.
Assigning and Changing the chosen Dashboard(s)#
The provided panels can be used for any role that a client has created - limited by the functionality within the dashboard (i.e. a Manager dashboard would not be appropriate for an Employee).Dashboards cannot be edited (other than the function's Web Address field).
See FAQ for adding additional Panels/Dashboards.
IMFN/IMFDH/IMEX - Security#
Ensure that your specified Role has been provided function access/security for the Dashboard(s) used. Use search string: %Dashboard in the Find box to see a list of provided Dashboards.IMMU - Menus#
Dashboards are functions and are added to Menus via the Menu Definition (IMMU) form. Clients can control which Dashboard is provided for each Role/Menu, and can control if the Dashboard includes a Dynamic tab and/or a Data Grid tab (see additional topics below).IMUS - Users#
Find the User's Profile on IMUS, then drill to the Roles assigned to confirm the Menu used for the User Profile's Role(s). User Profiles can have multiple Roles and therefore multiple menus; the highest Role sequence on the User Profile defines the default role.For clients utilizing Recruiting: if an employee is linked to a Posting as a Recruiter, they will automatically be given the Recruiter Role (hidden), at sequence 999. Therefore, if a user wants the Recruiter role to show up as the employee's default role (on access to Self Service), leave the other roles as sequence <999. If the preference is for Employee, Manager, or some other role to be the default, assign those Roles to the User Profile with a sequence >999.
IMRO - Roles#
The 'Menus Assigned' tab is used to define the Menu to be used. For clients moving to NextGen from earlier versions, edits to existing menus will be required, to allow the Dashboards to be chosen and placed where preferred.IMSV - Security Rights#
Users (i.e. Administrators and Managers) can be restricted to/from viewing Employee records via the Assign Security Rights form. Note that any panel listed as 'Manager' will also have manager hierarchy automatically assigned.IMFN/IMFDH - Web Address (not commonly required)#
Dashboards are Functions and can be accessed via the IMFN (function) and IMFDH (form definitions) forms. Use search string: %Dashboard in the Find box to see a list of provided Dashboards.Web Address edits are rarely required - Example:
If a new Dashboard has been defined for your organization, which is not yet in the Pre-loaded (seed data) list, extend/copy an existing Dashboard and edit the Web Address field.
Example: in the 5.02 release, a single ESS dashboard was provided as seed data, however, 2 dashboards are available. The Web Address fields for the 2 options are:
ESS Dashboard with pictures and (ESS_DASHBOARD1 from section above)
/rdPage.aspx?rdReport=Home.Home-Empl-1&EmpType=empl
ESS Dashboard - no pictures, no twitter feed (ESS_DASHBOARD2 from section above)
/rdPage.aspx?rdReport=Home.Home-Empl-2&EmpType=empl

Main Panel#
Description | Table Showing Locations. This includes the Location Code, Address, Latitude and Longitude. This panel requires special configuration for it to work out-of-the-box.

NOTE:The Get GEO Codes button needs to be pressed several times until all the locations have been found. To work fully, this panel requires a licensed version of Google API. Without a Google API license, it will resolve only a few addresses each time it is run (this can appear to be a bug, but it is a restriction of the license.) Clients can purchase a Google API license. Also see Location Map (which utilizes the results of the 'get Geo Codes' function). Includes: Download to spreadsheet, e-mail with spreadsheet. |
