# The eLink Dashboard

Abstract

Product: **BrassRing on Cloud**

#### The eLink Dashboard

- The eLink dashboard contains any candidate, req, and form information sent to a user by using eLinks.
- A user's eLink Dashboard is unique to that individual user. It houses items that were eLinked directly to that user for action. The dashboard is created for the first time after a user is sent an eLink from BrassRing. Because the eLink Dashboard is unique, to the individual, they can bookmark the link in their browser to access it at a later time.
- The eLink dashboard shows eLinks sent to the user in the last 180 days by default. Clients can configure the number of days between a range of 10 days to 180 days. (Options: 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 180 days).
- The eLink dashboard includes:
  - Candidates for review.
  - Forms to complete, approve, or view.
  - Reqs to approve, add, edit, or view.
- The eLink dashboard respects any user type permissions associated to the user/non-user when viewing data.
- The eLink dashboard is not applicable to candidate facing communications or eLinks. Candidates do not see any change in how they access their eLinks.
- The cards on the eLink dashboard can be reordered by the individual user. Users can drag and drop cards to arrange as they need. There is no configuration option at this time to default card order or to remove cards from the dashboard. ![image010.jpg](https://cdn.us.document360.io/4bb62c4c-9973-48ec-ab93-23d4b1755503/Images/Documentation/2de17697-4a22-4768-a452-bdf33fab01e2.jpg)
- eLinked items the date that the item was received and viewed. ![image020.jpg](https://cdn.us.document360.io/4bb62c4c-9973-48ec-ab93-23d4b1755503/Images/Documentation/78cea906-5e2c-4878-b94c-67a55fe3db76.jpg)
- The eLink dashboard only displays data for:
  - Active reqs, or reqs that are Pending, Approved, or Open.
  - Active candidates, or candidates that are not in a Disposition status.
- The eLink dashboard is deactivated if the user is removed/inactivated from the system. Brassring Administrators also have the ability to remove access to active users.
- When candidates are eLinked from within a requisition that is marked as confidential/Secure, if the recipient of the eLink does not have access to view that req (they are not on the req team or they do not have the user type privilege to see all secure reqs), then they see a **NOACCESS**message under the Resume/CV section when viewing the candidate.
- The eLink Dashboard includes authentication.
  - Pass code-based authentication is enabled based on client setting configuration. (Explained in the **Configure eLink Dashboard** section of the Documentation). Each eLink recipient must enter an authentication code that is sent to their email address. ![image011.jpg](https://cdn.us.document360.io/4bb62c4c-9973-48ec-ab93-23d4b1755503/Images/Documentation/f2f8cd0f-84cd-472c-8c02-627d18cee471.jpg)
  - If your organization uses existing eLink authentication functionally, by using a password or Single Sign On (SSO), users can continue to use this authentication mechanism instead of pass code authentication.
  - After authenticating, the user can select **Remember this device**for trusted computers, or **Do not remember this device** in the case of shared or public computers. ![image012.jpg](https://cdn.us.document360.io/4bb62c4c-9973-48ec-ab93-23d4b1755503/Images/Documentation/3ca5b4ab-421c-4b2d-84a3-b560901adf7c.jpg)
