# Your own dashboard Everything under **My…** in the sidebar is scoped to you: your own attendance, your own leave, your own pay. It looks the same whether you are an individual contributor or a manager. A manager simply has **Approvals** as well, for the people who report to them.

Your own dashboard: what every card means, and switching between Admin and Employee view

## Which page you land on Signing in does not take everyone to the same place. It depends on your role: | You are | You land on | |---|---| | An employee | Your own personal summary, described below. | | An HR Head or HR Ops user | The company-wide **Control Center**, with the full administrator sidebar (Recruitment, Onboarding, Employee, Attendance, Payroll and so on). Your own personal pages are one click away: see the section **Admin view and Employee view** below. | | A manager | Depends on what your user group is allowed to view. A manager whose group holds no organisation-wide view permissions is shown the personal summary; a manager whose group does hold them lands on the **Control Center**. | The rest of this page describes the personal summary and the **My…** sidebar, which is what an employee or a manager working from their own pages sees. ## Your dashboard The personal summary shows: - **My HR Status** — a row of cards: Payroll, Tax, Attendance, Leave, Documents, and (if you have any open requests) a Requests card. Each carries its own state rather than a single generic "all good" — for example Payroll can show a run still in draft while Attendance separately shows nothing recorded. - **My attention** — specific things that need a look, each explaining *why* it is flagged. A gap in your attendance record is shown as **"this means the record is missing, not that you were away"** rather than as a bare warning, which matters: a missing punch and an unapproved absence look identical in a lesser dashboard and are not the same problem. - A **Today** panel with your shift, work type and location for the day, plus attendance, leave, last pay and tax-paid summaries. ![The employee dashboard, signed in as a manager: "Good evening, Aarav" with My HR Status cards and the My attention section](https://docs.blueonehr.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-10/He7self-service-overview-employee-dashboard.png) ## What each screen covers The sidebar of a manager. Its order is: Dashboard, My Attendance, My Leave, My Payslips, My Compensation, My Tickets, My NOC Requests, My Tax, My Reimbursements, My KYC, My Document Requests, My Shift Requests, My Work Type Requests, My Asset Requests, My Performance, My Field Work, Help & FAQ, Approvals. An employee sees the same list without **Approvals**. The table groups the five request queues together. | Screen | What it shows | |---|---| | **Dashboard** | The personal summary above. | | **My Attendance** | Your own clock records and corrections — see [Checking your attendance](https://docs.blueonehr.com/books/attendance/page/checking-your-attendance). | | **My Leave** | Your leave requests and balance — see [Applying for leave](https://docs.blueonehr.com/books/leave/page/applying-for-leave). | | **My Payslips** | Every payslip issued to you, with View and PDF actions. | | **My Compensation** | How your pay is structured, beyond the single net-pay figure on a payslip. | | **My Tickets** | The Help Desk **Tickets** list: support requests you have raised. See [Help Desk and FAQs](https://docs.blueonehr.com/books/help-desk-faq/page/help-desk-and-faqs). | | **My Tax** | Opens **My Tax Planner**: a projection for the financial year that compares the old and new tax regimes. The page states that it is a projection only and does not change your actual payroll. | | **My Reimbursements** | Expense reimbursement requests. | | **My KYC** | Your own identity and statutory details — PAN, Aadhaar, address, and similar. Sensitive by nature; see [Your KYC details](https://docs.blueonehr.com/books/employee-self-service/page/your-kyc-details). | | **My NOC Requests**, **My Document Requests**, **My Shift Requests**, **My Work Type Requests**, **My Asset Requests** | Each is a request queue for exactly what its name says, with its own approval flow. | | **My Performance** | Your performance records, where the Performance module is in use. | | **My Field Work** | Site visits and field activity, for roles that work away from a fixed location. | | **Help & FAQ** | A separate item from **My Tickets**: it opens the company's FAQ categories. | | **Approvals** | Present in a manager's sidebar: everything currently waiting on your decision. | ## Admin view and Employee view At the top left of every page there is a two-button switch: **Admin view** and **Employee view**. It is real, and it works for the people it is meant for. **Who can use it.** The switch is interactive only for a person who has both an administrator-level role (HR Head, HR Ops or Manager, or a superuser) and their own employee record. For everyone else both buttons are greyed out and cannot be selected. Hovering over the greyed-out switch shows a tooltip saying that it reflects your current access level, which means there is nothing to switch between for that account; a plain employee sees this. When the switch is available, its tooltip reads "Switch between your Admin view and your Employee view." **What it does.** Selecting **Employee view** replaces the dashboard and the sidebar with the personal ones. Selecting **Admin view** brings the administrator ones back. For an HR Head: | | Admin view | Employee view | |---|---|---| | Dashboard | The company-wide Control Center | Your own personal summary ("Good afternoon, Ananya") | | Sidebar | Recruitment, Onboarding, Employee KYC, Employee, Attendance, Leave, Assets, Performance, Offboarding, Geo-Fence, Field Ops, Payroll, HR Letters, Project, Help Desk, Integrations, Reports, Settings | Dashboard, then the **My…** items above, then Help & FAQ; Settings stays at the bottom | ![Admin view: the Control Center dashboard with the full administrator sidebar, and the Admin view button selected](https://docs.blueonehr.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-10/Vmsself-service-overview-admin-view.png) ![Employee view: the same person's personal summary with the My sidebar, and the Employee view button selected](https://docs.blueonehr.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-10/urzself-service-overview-employee-view.png) **How long it lasts.** The choice is kept for your current sign-in session. It is not a setting on your account, and it does not change what you are allowed to do: it changes what is shown to you. ## A note on My KYC ## A note on My KYC This screen displays statutory identity information — PAN and a masked Aadhaar number among it. It is real personal data for a real employee, even though the specific numbers seen in a demo environment are synthetic. Treat any screenshot or export from this screen with the same care as a payslip or a bank detail: never share it outside the reason it was requested for. See [Your KYC details](https://docs.blueonehr.com/books/employee-self-service/page/your-kyc-details) for what the screen contains and why every screenshot of it in this documentation is permanently redacted. ## Related - [How attendance works](https://docs.blueonehr.com/books/attendance/page/how-attendance-works) - [How leave works](https://docs.blueonehr.com/books/leave/page/how-leave-works) - [How payroll works](https://docs.blueonehr.com/books/payroll/page/how-payroll-works)
