The questions our support team receives most often about accounts, signing in, and Settings.

Accounts and signing in

QuestionAnswer
What do I sign in with?Phone number, email, or Google — matching the information HR entered in your profile. See B1-13.
What if I forget my password?Ask HR to reset it. They can do it right from your profile.
I can sign in but the screen is blankYour profile hasn't been assigned a branch or department. Notify HR.
I can't open SettingsOnly the Manager access group sees everything. It's normal for you to see only the Account group.
Is there two-factor authentication?It's not yet available in the Security Center. To protect your account, set a strong password, don't share it, and review the device list regularly.
How do I sign out an unfamiliar device remotely?There's no remote sign-out button yet. Changing your password forces all old sessions to sign in again.

Organizational structure

QuestionAnswer
Our company has only one location — do we need to set up a Region?Yes, you should. Create a default region so you won't have to reorganize later when you open new branches. See B1-05.
An employee is in the right place but gets an "outside allowed area" errorCheck the branch address in Settings first; that is the GPS clock-in coordinate.
How do I set up one department across two branches?The Branch field accepts multiple values — select both. See B1-06.
Can I change a branch or department code?Yes, but you shouldn't once data exists. Codes appear in import files and exported data.
Deleting a department that still has people?Move all employees to another department first.
Where can I see the org chart as a tree?The Org Chart item in the HR module is currently labeled Coming soon.

Permissions

QuestionAnswer
What's the difference between Access Groups and Permissions?Access groups determine whose data you can see; permissions determine what you can do within that scope. See B1-09.
A manager can't see employees on their teamCheck the manager's access group and the employees' department.
An employee can see other people's salariesImmediately review the permission matrix and that person's Permissions tab. This is an incident that must be handled right away.
Changing the access group for an entire department?Use Update Permissions via file. See B2-04.
How can I be sure permissions are correct?Sign in with a test account belonging to that group. Reading the configuration screen isn't enough.

Plans and interface

QuestionAnswer
How do I check how many seats are left for new employees?Settings › Billing & Plans; look at the line n / m active employees. See B1-12.
Do former employees count toward the limit?No, if their account has been deactivated. That's why you should Deactivate rather than leave it as is.
Where do I upgrade my plan?Through the sales team; you can't do it yourself on screen.
Changing the logo and interface colors?Settings › Logo & Theme Color. The logo should have a 2:1 ratio, for example 400×200px. See B1-08.
Where do I change the menu in the employee app?Settings › App, configured per access group. See B1-10.
