User Interface Configuration

Configure the User Interface

• The home page is designed to display cards, grids, visualizations, and welcome messages specific to the five different personas. For more information, see Manage Persona Groups.

• Each persona provides the user with the view of the data that works best for them.

• Users can personalize the view of the home page for their day-to-day tasks and needs.

• The HR Status Categories must be mapped in order for visualizations to work on the home page.

• The persona group of Default is automatically assigned if a selection is not made by the client from the list of five personas.

• The Recruiter persona is used for the remainder personas that are updated with person-specific configuration in future Releases.

• Workbench Administrators can configure the home page, the client messages, and associate each message with one or multiple personas.

• The Screen Display Defaults option is only applicable to the Classic User Interface. Updating these settings have no effect on the Responsive User Interface.

• To configure what new users see when they log in to BrassRing for the first time, Workbench Administrators can set default configurations for each persona for the My Open Reqs card and grid views, and the My Candidates grid views. This ensures that Workbench Administrators can regulate what new users are seeing; allowing users to start working in the system quickly with company standard settings. The following items can have defaults that are configured:

  • Grid fields

  • Card fields

  • Quick links (including folder name)

  • Tab order (first tab is set as the default tab)
