Staff Details

Here is where all the personal details for your Staff will be added such as their name, contact details, and pay rate.

Profile Picture: You can upload an avatar or profile picture for your Staff Member. This is an optional field and if nothing is uploaded the Staff Members initials will be used as the avatar. The Staff Member will have the option to upload their own image via their edit profile page. 

Email: Enter the email address of your Staff Member. This will be the email address they use to login to the portal and where all portal notifications will be sent.

First Name, Middle Name, and Last Name: The First Name field is required but Middle and Last Name are optional. 

Display Name: This is the name that the Staff User will see on the left side menu and in the flyout menu. Their Display Name will also be used when Dynamic Data Placeholders are used to display this version of their name. 

Phone: Enter the phone number of your Staff Member. 

Time Zone: You can enter the Time Zone of your Staff Member here. The Staff Member will have a chance to change this on registration if needed.

Hourly Rate: If you would like to set an Hourly Rate to base on for payment to your Staff member, you can set it here. The value that is entered here will automatically be filled for this user whenever they create a new Timer in a Project. 

Set Hourly Rate as Private: If you choose to Set the hourly rate as private, they will not be able to see this value (either in their Profile or when creating a new Timer). This is useful for instances where you are billing Clients a particular amount for a Teammate or Freelancer's work, but don't necessarily want that user to know that billing amount.

You have the option to add your Staff Member to an Email Audience so that you can send Marketing Campaigns and Drip Sequences.

Folder Generator

If you are have created a Staff Folder Generator you can apply it now so it is added prior to the Staff Member accessing their Portal (Tip: The Folder Generator can generate with Files that are already added, this is a great way to share Company Procedures or information that needs to be accessible by Staff Members)
