When using WhosOff you will find that there are lots of ways to find out exactly what's going on across the business in terms of staff absence and even your own absence. Our Dashboard Widgets allow this information to be immediately available whenever you login to the system.
Useful to know - Don't forget that in WhosOff there are 3 different user levels, therefore the widgets that are available to you will be determined by your user level.
CHOOSING YOUR WIDGETS

From this page, you'll see 6 Widget Slots, this is where you can begin to customise your dashboard to ensure that the right information is always readily available.
