Evaluating and implementing the new Employee experience

The web application for evaluating the new Employee experience provides a method for administrators and stakeholders to test the redesigned user interface.

Administrators can evaluate the new features of the web application using the Employee Preview menu on the role switcher. After the evaluation is complete, administrators can perform a configuration to switch all employees to the new experience.

The web application is updated with new features with the release of each Customer Update. It provides an ongoing method for evaluating new features before making them available to all users without disrupting current configurations in production

In addition to newly released features, the menu contains new versions of employee forms and pages that have been redesigned to deliver simplified versions of standard employee screens. The new screens are designed for SoHo 4 UX and mobile device compatibility. Other features of these simplified screens include:

Reduced side-scrolling on lists
Less white space on forms
Emphasis on mobile-friendly design
Streamlined menu hierarchy and organization

Administrators can use the Employee Preview security role to test and evaluate the simplified screens and any newly released features. After administrators have decided to implement content from the Employee Preview menu, the new features can be communicated to the evaluators and added to the security role for the evaluators.

Note: Do not configure the EmployeePreview_ST role or assign it to all users. This role is updated with each Customer Update. If you have made any changes to a file that is affected by the Customer Update, your changes override the updates.
