Note: Users require the Configuration Additional Permission to access the Employee Portal Configuration Area.

To enable the Employee Portal:

  1. From the navigation menu, expand the  Modules option, then click Employee Portal.
  2. Enable the Employee Portal toggle.

This will then display the unique Employee Portal URL for your Gatekeeper tenant.

Note: This URL isn't editable, however URL forwarding can be used to set up a custom URL for the Employee Portal.

Add Employee Portal Administrators

Employee Portal administrators have access to an additional dashboard, allowing them to oversee use of the Employee Portal. This displays: 

  • The number of Employee Portal Only users.
  • Which Workflows are actively enabled for Employee Portal forms, and how many Live cards exist on each.
  • A list of all Open Forms and their status/progress.

Note: Only Global Administrators can be added as Employee Portal Administrators. This ensures that access to all contracts is not accidentally granted to unauthorised users.

To make a user an Employee Portal administrator:

  1. From the navigation menu, expand the Modules option then click Employee Portal.
  2. Click Add Administrator.
  3. Select a user from the dropdown list then click Create.
