Introduction
For some time now, the Ready Recruit dashboard has been quite basic, allowing users to view a widget for their personal records with a listing of only 5 records per widget. This becomes pointless and expensive in terms of real estate on the dashboard when 5 or more records need to be available.
As a part of this update, improved widgets and user experience and personalisation have been the key drivers for change.
What is a Toolbar Widget
Tool bar widgets are simple record counts that users are able to enable or disable to only show those that are relevant for their role. These widgets will show the number of records that they are related to, as well as having a click through to a search page, containing the list of these values.
Available Toolbar Widgets

Toolbar Personalisation
Toolbar Widgets are able to be turned on and off for individual users. This can be done by clicking on the Widget Preferences on the top right hand side of the screen. Once this has been clicked users will have the ability to turn these on and off. Toolbar Widgets will allow up to 8 widgets available on the home page, so make sure as a user you have the most relevant data to your role to maximize your dashboard usage.
User Group Management
As Vacancies and Companies can be assigned to 3 different user groups (Officer, Internal Source, Sales Consultant) it can be difficult to manage widgets for the correct users. To help manage this, there is a Widget Management section in the Admin Dashboard that will allow system admins to select which user group they want each widget to display for.
For example, organisations may have their workflows in place so that Pending Vacancies should display for Officer, and Open Vacancies should display for the Internal Source. To configure this, just select the user group relevant to the widget.
Note: This is a system wide setting. When Pending Vacancies is selected for the User Group “Officer” this will only show Vacancies on a user’s dashboard where they are the assigned “Officer”.
