Each role needs something different on "Home": employees mainly their shift, partners more of an overview of the day. Under "Start page" you decide for each role which blocks appear and in which order. Without your own layout, everything stays as before.
Design a role's start page
In the browser, open "Menu" → "All settings" and tap "Start page" in the "Brand" area.
Choose the role at the top: employees, shift leads, partners (also with several locations) or head office. Next to each role it says "Default" or "Custom layout".
Under "Blocks", use the "Show" tick box to switch on or off what should appear.
Change the order with the "Move up" and "Move down" arrows. On a computer you can also drag a block by the handle on the left.
Look at the "Preview" and tap "Save". Symiko shows "Saved. This role's start page now looks like this."
Repeat the steps for the other roles. As long as you have not saved, it says "Unsaved changes".
Greeting, date and role always stay at the top. You switch the story row below the greeting on or off with "Stories". The "Feed" is always on, but you can move it.
The blocks
| Block | What it shows |
|---|---|
| "Welcome and first steps" | Welcome and first steps – only for new accounts |
| "Today's shift" | Your own shift or today's staffing, with clocking |
| "Today" | Early warnings, approvals, your own tasks and occasions |
| "Quick access" | Your own tiles and links |
| "New in …" (with your system's name) | Notes on new features |
| "Feed" | Posts and required notices – always on |
| "Team" | Absences, who is off today, occasions this week |
Permissions come before layout. The start page can hide and sort blocks, but it cannot unlock anything. Whatever a person may not see, or whatever is currently empty, does not appear for them. In the preview it then says "usually empty for this role".
On wide screens, the greeting stays at the top and the feed on the left; the other blocks follow on the right in the order you chose.
Back to the default start page
If a role has a custom layout, "Reset to default" appears below the blocks. After that, the default start page applies to this role again, and Symiko shows "Reset. The default start page applies again."
Browser and app
- In the browser
- You can only design the start page in the browser, because that is where you can drag blocks and see the preview.
- In the app
- The saved start page applies in the app just as in the browser. In the app, the "Start page" tile opens the page in the browser.
Frequently asked questions
Does the layout apply the same way to partners with one and with several locations?
Yes. Partners and partners with several locations share one start page. Every other role has its own.
Can a single person change their own start page?
No, head office sets the start page for each role. But everyone can pin entries they use often in the menu.
