How to Add Widgets

Widgets make Sentrifugo easier to use and helps users to navigate through the application smoothly. They enable you to keep important or frequently accessed options on your dashboard, so you needn’t go through various selections to get to a feature.

For example, a manager can set the features ‘Openings/Positions’ and ‘Scheduled Interviews’ as his widgets. So, as soon as he logs in, he will be able to see the interviews scheduled for the day and the number of opening/positions in his department.

There are 3 ways to add widgets:To add a widget, you will need to click on any one of the module names on the top menu item. It will generate a menu on the extreme left side. Click on the option according to your preference and then, drag and drop it in the rectangular space.

Note: You cannot drag & drop menu items which further branch out into more options.

In the below screenshot, we have chosen the options from a manager’s point of view. You can configure up to 10 widgets for the dashboard.

After you save the widget settings, this is how your dashboard will look like:Shortcuts in Sentrifugo can be configured in the same way as widgets. Shortcuts will appear on the extreme left side of the dashboard.

Efficient User Management with Sentrifugo

Access Control for Users

Sentrifugo has the provision to create different roles, each of them having certain privileges on the basis of hierarchy in an organization. Access rights to each role can be provided by the HR or the Management. So every user can access the data they need as long as it’s within their assigned privileges, hence making Sentrifugo a very secure application!

Following are the 6 types of roles existing in Sentrifugo:

• Management
• Manager
• HR
• Employees
• External Users
• System Admin

Employee Information Management

Sentrifugo can hold data for around 5000 employees. You can maintain and store employee data in this application. Information can be entered one employee at a time or you can transfer the details of many employees in a bulk using the ‘import employees’ option.

Other than entering employees’ official details, you can also upload their important documents.  An employee’s personal, communication, additional details (visa & immigration, education, job history, languages) & many more can also be configured in Sentrifugo.

If an employee leaves the organization, his status is changed to ‘Inactive’ based on the employment status i.e. left, resigned & suspended. The HR can also forcefully make an employee’s status ‘Inactive’, which will stop the employee from logging into his account. Everything from country & city to languages & time zones are configurable in Sentrifugo. The HR can configure them on the basis of their organizational needs and use them to enter the employee details.
