Getting Started
Finding your way around
The top menu, search, notifications, your profile menu, dark mode and the mobile menu.
Table of Contents
Every screen in Accord eHR shares the same header. Once you know it, you can reach anything in two clicks.
The header
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Company name | Your organisation. Select it to go back to the Dashboard. |
| Dashboard · Self Service · Team Admin · eHR Portal Management | The main menu. You only see the areas your role allows — see Introduction. |
| Search… | Jump to any page by name. |
| Moon / sun icon | Switch between light and dark mode. |
| Bell icon | Your notifications. |
| Profile picture | My Profile, Settings and Sign Out. |
Search for any page
Open search
Select Search… in the header, or press Ctrl + K (⌘ + K on a Mac).
Type what you're looking for
For example leave, payslip or timesheet. Search matches page names and common words, so vacation finds Request Leave.
Open the page
Use the arrow keys and press Enter, or select the result.
Search only lists pages you're allowed to open, so it's also a quick way to check whether a feature is enabled for you.
Notifications
The bell shows a dot when something new arrives — for example a task that's due, a new notice or news article, an upcoming holiday or a new document. Select the bell to see them, and Mark all read to clear the list. When there's nothing new you'll see You're all caught up!
Your profile menu
Select your profile picture to open:
- My Profile — your personal and official details. See My Profile.
- Settings — change your password.
- Sign Out.
Dark mode
Select the moon icon to switch to dark mode, and the sun icon to switch back. Accord remembers your choice on this device.
On a phone
Accord works in your phone's browser — there's nothing to install. The dashboard cards stack into a single column, and the main menu folds into the ☰ button at the top left.
Open the menu
Tap ☰ at the top left. The Main Menu lists every page you can open — Dashboard, Self Service and each of its modules, and Team Admin or eHR pages if your role includes them.
Go to a page
Tap the page. The menu closes and the page opens.
Add Accord to your home screen for one-tap access: in Chrome, open the browser menu and choose Add to Home screen; in Safari, tap Share → Add to Home Screen.
