Administrators who want to learn to use the Intranet dashboard.

Administrator permissions are required.

The Lucidity Intranet Dashboard serves as the central hub for users, providing a comprehensive overview of critical information and quick access to key features. This customisable interface displays personalised widgets, recent activities, and important notifications, enabling users to efficiently navigate their tasks and stay informed about organisational updates at a glance.

1. Deleting news items

To delete a news item, from the Dashboard:

1. Click the Edit icon in the top right-hand corner of the news feed.

2. Click Delete on the far right-hand side.

3. The news item will be deleted.

There is no confirmation step when deleting news items. As soon as the first Delete button is clicked, the news item will be deleted, and this cannot be undone. Always use the delete function with caution.

2. My Actions

The My Actions panel on the Dashboard provides the end-user with a summary of all actions from the all Lucidity Software modules that require action. Short cuts are provided to add, view and delete actions.

The My Actions panel only displays to end-users who have access to the Actions module. These can be adjusted in Lucidity Access by system administrators.

3. My Forms

The My Forms panel on the Dashboard provides the end-user with a summary of all forms from Lucidity InForm that require action. Clicking on an item in the My Forms list will open Lucidity InForm, where the user can complete the form as required.

4. Links panel

Commonly used links in the organisation can be added to the Dashboard in the links panel for ease of access for end-users.

To manage the links panel:

1. Click the Edit icon on the top right-hand corner of the links panel.

In the pop-up window:

1. Change the widget title.
2. Add a new link by clicking the plus button and adding a link title, URL and thumbnail.

Note: URLs can be direct links to external Web pages or to pages within Lucidity Software such as a new incident in Lucidity Incident, completing a leave form in Lucidity InForm, induction eLearning in Lucidity Competency etc.

3. Delete an existing link by clicking the blue X next to the link.
4. Reorder the links by clicking and dragging.
5. Click OK to save changes.

5. Links as thumbnails

The thumbnail field is optional and can be used to enter the URL of an image that will be displayed within the links panel in place of a text link. This allows the end-user to click the image to follow the link. Examples could be a PDF icon or screenshot of the front page of a newsletter that is being published.

The thumbnail URL can be a link to an image that is available on the internet, or an image that is located in the Filing Cabinet of Lucidity Intranet.  

To link to an image in the Filing Cabinet:

1. From the Filing Cabinet, locate and select the image.
2. Right click on the Open option.
3. Select Copy link address.

4. Navigate back to the edit screen of the links panel.

5. Paste the image link into the thumbnail placeholder.

6. Click OK.
