Permissions for Staff Profile Management

Please take a few minutes to review the permissions available for Staff Management here.

Find the Staff Profile Management System

The staff profile management system can capture all of the staff profile information you need. From documents to addresses to photos to all of your important dates, you’ll be able to quickly and easily add any field you need at any time.

To access your staff profile management system:

On the left, in your Mission Control, click Reporters, Staff, & Sites.
On the right, click Manage staff accounts.
On the right, in the More menu, select Manage Fields and Profile Layout.

Understanding the Staff Profile Layout Manager

The Staff Profile Layout Manager is the space where you will manage the look and feel of your staff profile pages. You’ll be able to create an unlimited number of custom panels and sub-panels that will hold all of the information you need to collect for each staff member.

The Staff Profile Layout Manager has six main components:

The Panel Canvas
Create a Panel
Create a Sub-panel
Create a Context Block
Create a Field
Manage Fields

IMPORTANT: The first time you open the Staff Profile Layout Manager only the standard panels will appear. These include:
    A. Name & Contact Details
    B. Site Assignment

Learn how to create an unlimited number of custom panels in the next section.

There are two types of panels: Standard and Custom. Standard panels cannot be removed, and the Name & Contact Details panel always stays at the top of the profile. Other Standard panels can be drag-and-dropped wherever you like.

The Standard panels on an identifier profile are:

Panel Name	Description
Name & Contact Details	This panel holds critical information about the staff member, including: Name, Staff Role, Communications permissions, and Status (Active or Archived).
Communications History (Outbound)	This panel will show any messages your staff permissions allow you to see. For more information, see this article.

You can drag-and-drop the Communications History (Outbound) panels to any position you'd like. The Name & Contact Details panel stays at the top of the profile.
