What are App Settings in People Module Settings ?


App Settings is where Admins can configure the settings for employee profile, configure notification settings, create and manage custom fields and employee tags, configure employee's QR code information, and configure password settings for employees' login. Below, we will go through the settings of each portion that can be utilised and customised.


What are Employee Tags


Employee Tags are an additional way for Admins to categorise their employees. This will help with further Eligibility criteria in modules such as Leaves, Expenses, Travel etc. 


For example, if an admin has retail employees from different staff agencies, they may want to categorise these employees according to agency if each agency provides different Leave Policies. An Admin may create employee tags such as Agency 1, Agency 2 and Agency 3, and tag the employees accordingly. Later on, Admins may create certain Leave Policies that only apply to employees from Agency 1. They can then set the Eligibility criteria to Employee Tags, and select Agency 1
