Below, we will go through the settings of each portion that can be utilised and customised. 


Employee Profile Settings 


Employee Profile Settings is one of many settings available to customise what your employee views on their app. This particular section customises how an employee views their own profile on the altHR app. There are three terms you should familiarise yourself with to get the setting right:


VisibleWhen turned on, employees can see the chosen section in their profiles.
ApprovalWhen turned on, profile updates by employees will require admin approval.
