Introduction

The Employee Portal is an area of the Hornbill Client built mainly for employees. The Employee Portal can be accessed by the URL https://live.hornbill.com/<instance-name>/

The Portal consists in a main landing page (The Home) replacing the current Hornbill Today and child pages mainly for a new area called Service Domains.

A personal page can also be created by each user called My Home.

Each page can be customised by a user or users with specific rights and each page can be customised by widgets provided by the platform or installed applications.

A different page can be created for Users and Basic Users or one page can be used for both. Basic Users will not be allowed to use certain widgets such as Workspaces or Tasks because that functionality is not available to them.
