Finding pages
- The menu search understands the words people use, not only menu names: "payslip" finds Salary Slips, "fnf" final settlement, "who is off" the leave calendar (Chapter 5).
- A page your role cannot open does not appear in the menu or the search; a page your plan lacks appears with a lock (Chapters 14, 93).
Everyday habits
- Filters before exports. Every list's CSV and print follow its current filters (Chapter 90).
- Read the pre-flight before approving payroll (Chapter 55).
- Expand log rows: Activity Logs show what was sent, Email Logs why an email was skipped (Chapter 91).
- Switch language with the globe in the top bar; each person's choice is their own, and emails follow their email language (Chapters 5, 84).
- Open your own portal from the account menu (Employee Portal) to see what employees see (Chapter 83).
- Use the dashboard alerts: pending approvals, documents awaiting review, contracts expiring and profile submissions each link straight to their page (Chapter 7).
