How to Use the Network Dashboard and Resource Hub

The Global Dashboard brings all key data into one place, allowing managers and head office teams to make faster, more informed decisions. This guide will explain each area of the dashboard and show you how to customize your blocks to create a layout that suits your needs.

When accessing the Global Dashboard for the first time, you will see a default view with preset blocks. Users with Full Administrator permissions can customize the dashboard by selecting the Customize button in the top right-hand corner. From here, you can edit existing blocks, remove unnecessary blocks, or add new ones from the available options.

Changing the dashboard layout affects all users in your organization.

When editing the dashboard, you will notice the options to edit existing blocks, add new blocks, and add rows.

Rows: Rows organize the dashboard horizontally. Each row can contain one or more blocks.
Blocks: Blocks are the individual components within a row. Different types of blocks can be added to display various data or tools.

When adding blocks, you can choose whether they take up the full width of the dashboard or half the width, allowing two blocks to be displayed side by side

The Global Banner allows you to apply your organization’s branding across the dashboard, creating a consistent and professional look.

The recommended dimensions for the dashboard banner are 2360 pixels wide by 472 pixels high.

Quick Links – Faster Access to What You Need

The Quick Links block lets you pin essential tools and resources for one-click access. Links can be internal to Operandio or external, such as HR, payroll, rostering tools, policy documents, or internal portals.

Adding Quick Links:

Give the Quick Links block a title, e.g., “Frybird Key Links.”
Add links by providing a name and pasting the URL (internal or external), e.g., a link to the Operandio Knowledge Base or an external HRIS system.
You can add as many links as needed.
Optionally, customize the icons displayed for each link.
Click Add to the block to apply your changes.

Quick Links make it faster and easier for staff to access resources without searching through multiple systems.

Communications Module – Stay Connected Across Locations

Adding a Communications block allows you to view all communications across the network without navigating to the Communications Hub. You can give the block a title, such as “Recent News,” and select Add.

Once added, you can view posts directly on the dashboard, keeping all employees updated on important messages and announcements.

People – Highlight Key Contacts

The People block displays a selection of staff profiles. You can add user profiles to the dashboard, such as “Key Head Office Contacts,” which allows employees to quickly and easily find the right person to contact internally.

Recent Activity – Real-Time Operational Visibility

The Recent Activity block provides visibility into recent actions across your network. When adding this block, you can choose between:

Jobs: Updates on jobs that have been completed, including who completed them.
Training: Shows any training courses that have recently been completed across the organization.

This ensures managers have a quick, real-time view of operational activity.

Content Blocks – Flexible Communication

The Content Blocks section allows you to display video, image, and text content directly on the dashboard.

Examples of Content Blocks:

A video overview such as “Welcome to Frybird” to introduce staff to the venue or a new location.
An image of the team to highlight staff members at a specific venue.
Celebrating achievements, such as employee milestones or successful campaign results.

Using Content Blocks in this way makes the dashboard interactive, informative, and relevant, helping staff stay engaged and connected to the venue and its priorities.

Campaigns - Promote key business initiatives

The Campaigns section allows you to highlight ongoing or upcoming initiatives. Whether it’s a promotional event, safety campaign, seasonal update, or internal engagement effort, this section helps communicate key messages consistently across your organization.

Please refer to the guide on how to create a campaign for step-by-step instructions.

After making any changes to your dashboard, be sure to save your dashboard. The Save button can be found toward the bottom center of the screen. This ensures that none of your edits or customizations are lost.

The Global Dashboard is a powerful tool to centralize information, improve visibility, and enhance communication across your organization. By customizing blocks and adding rows, you can create a dashboard that works best for your team, ensuring important updates and resources are always easy to access.
