Configuration Tools

The Configuration Tools page is the main page of Admin Tools. This page includes links to the main product pages. From this page, administrators can access the product pages, as well as access their pinned links and most recently viewed pages.

Products and Configuration Tools

Each product section displays as a panel, and selecting the name of the product opens the product page. The product pages contain links to the functionality that is associated with the product.

Visibility

The visibility of the product sections is dependent upon the functionality that is available for the portal and the administrator's permissions. The permissions associated with each functionality vary based on the access requirements for the functionality. In order for a product section to display on the Configuration Tools page, the administrator must have permission to access at least one of the functionality links that display on the product page. For example, Recruiting only displays if the administrator has at least one of the permissions needed to access a Recruiting functionality on the Recruiting product page.

Display Order

The product and configuration tools links display in the order of the product lifecycle. For example, recruiting new employees comes before onboarding those employees and managing their performance process.
