Configure the default canvas dashboard that Employee Slate presents to employees before they personalize their canvas. Set the subtitle, widget layout, and preview experience.
About this task
The default canvas dashboard is the starting layout that employees see on their canvas page. Employees can personalize their canvas after they land on it.
Procedure
-
In the Employee Slate Admin Console, open the canvas configuration page.
The canvas configuration page shows the current subtitle, a preview of the default dashboard, and presentation controls for theme and device.
-
In the Subtitle field, enter a subtitle and save the change.
The subtitle appears below the canvas title on the employee canvas page. The preview shows the change after the save completes.
-
Review the preview in light mode, dark mode, desktop, and mobile.
Use the theme and device controls at the top of the preview to confirm that the layout renders correctly for each combination.
-
Open the dashboard editor to modify the widget layout.
Select the folder icon or the canvas preview to open the dashboard editor.
- Optional:
Reset the canvas to an empty layout if you're starting from scratch.
Refresh the page after the reset to confirm that the canvas is empty.
-
Add widgets to the canvas.
Drag widgets from the widget library onto the canvas, resize them, and rearrange them to the layout you want.
- Optional:
Edit a widget directly from the canvas.
Select the widget settings, then select Edit in Widget Builder to open the widget in the Widget Builder. Edit the component source to adjust the widget and save the change.
-
Save and publish the canvas layout.
The published canvas layout is available as the default canvas dashboard for employees. Refresh the canvas configuration page to confirm that the layout appears in the preview.
Result
Employees see the layout and widgets that you configured. This layout applies when they open their canvas for the first time or reset it to the default. Employees personalize their canvas from this starting point.
