We have made some major changes in version 7.5.0.1 of the OrangeHRM system. As you can see, we have a whole new look and updated functionality to go along with it. This article outlines how you can access the features as an employee in your OrangeHRM 7.5.0.1 system.
The Dashboard
The OrangeHRM Dashboard allows you to easily see the actions that you need to perform. For example, if you have been assigned a goal or an appraisal by your supervisor this is visible as a pending item that you need to action via the “my Action” widget. You navigated to the dashboard in previous versions by expanding the ‘other’ section and clicking on ‘Dashboard”.
But we’ve made things easier for you in our latest update. In version 7.5 You’ll be able to navigate to the dashboard simply by clicking on the home icon on the top navigation bar or by navigating to the Employee Management Module and clicking on ‘dashboard’ from the top navigation bar. Please refer below:
