DMS Employee
The employee has access to their own personal file. The documents that are visible for employees are based on their security access (categories assigned and access level). Some documents are available as 'Read Only' for employees but they are not allowed to upload those documents. These documents will be added by Managers or HR users.
When an employee is logged into the application, the dashboard provides the starting point for all actions. These can be access via the tiles available on the dashboard.
