Open interactive lesson and quiz

What you will learn

  • Use the same employee identity and records on desktop and mobile
  • Configure time entry windows and business branding centrally
  • Understand offline limits and notification consent

Your HR team is rolling out mobile self-service to employees in one business unit while retaining shared branding and secure live records.

Lesson 1

One workspace across devices

The installed SupaPeople portal uses existing employee authentication, permission scopes and business APIs. Mobile navigation provides Home, My time, Leave, Updates and More; More retains all other permitted services. Upload the business logo once in BU Settings → Organization. Existing employee roles and record restrictions apply on every device.

Lesson 2

Dates, offline viewing and device notifications

Time entries cannot be future-dated in the business timezone. HR can configure entry windows, lock-through dates and submitted-entry corrections. Reviewed entries and finalized payroll are protected. A trusted device can hold an encrypted read-only view for 12 hours, using a separate passphrase. Credentials, bank data, payslips, documents and team records are excluded. Offline actions are never queued. Web Push requires a supported browser, user consent, secure platform storage and the existing signed worker schedule. Notifications reveal no HR details and open the authenticated portal.

Practice · Prepare a trusted employee device

  1. In Organization settings, confirm the business timezone and upload the shared logo.
  2. Open the employee portal and install it through the browser menu or supported installation prompt.
  3. Open My time and verify that a future date cannot be submitted. Correct an eligible current or past entry.
  4. Save an encrypted offline copy with a separate device passphrase, then review its timestamp and expiry. Reconnect to refresh live records and sign out to remove the copy.
