System Roles and Functions

A summary of the various users and their access to different types of information within the intranet portal.
Splash Screen Wireframe

A splash screen was created to allow non logged in users to access public informational messages from outside the company firewall. Users would be able to keep up to date on the latest human resource messages without the need for login.

In this example, the background has been modified to show a theme: Breast Cancer Awareness. Allowing theme updates to the splash page allows users to see a constantly refreshed page. This gives users the feeling that content on the site is up to date and current.
Team Member Lookup Wireframe

Allows managers to choose a team member profile to edit.
- Managers can click on a team member profile to select.
- Managers can switch to a new manager action using a drop down menu.
- Actions available are relevant to the section the user is in.
- Manager Actions include: view profile, view personal data, modify data, team member job history, job history, emergency contact information, visa permit data and compensation history.
