The home is what everyone in your company sees at your Flow's address: a welcome, announcements, the figures that matter and a question box for the AI Colleagues. You build it in the studio like a dashboard, with a variant per audience. Before you publish, you view it as that audience and Flow checks you do not open up anything that should stay closed.

Step 1 / 10

Open the home in the studio

At the top of the explorer is Home for colleagues: the home, the audiences and the feedback apply to the whole workspace, not to one module. Click Home. The editor works like a dashboard's: the tiles on the left, in the middle the page as colleagues see it, the properties on the right.

  1. Click Home
Open the home in the studio · Click Home
Step 2 / 10

Make a variant for Employees

Every audience can get a home of its own. A person sees the first variant that fits them; the last one is for everyone. Under Add a variant choose the audience Employees: everyone with the role Employee, such as whoever arrives through your company's sign-in system.

  1. In Add a variant, choose Employees
Make a variant for Employees · In Add a variant, choose Employees
Make a variant for Employees · The variant for Employees comes before the one for everyone.

A welcome with the reader's name

Click Welcome on the left. On the right you write the text in Markdown; {{user.name}} becomes the name of whoever opens the home.

  1. Click Welcome
A welcome with the reader's name · Click Welcome
  1. In Text (Markdown), type `## Hi {{user.name}}, have a good day
A welcome with the reader's name · In Text (Markdown), type `## Hi {{user.name}}, have a good day;
A welcome with the reader's name · The welcome at the top of the page.

An announcement with a start and end date

An announcement is only shown between two dates: after that it disappears by itself. Choose the kind Attention for something that stands out.

  1. Click Announcement
An announcement with a start and end date · Click Announcement
  1. In Text (Markdown), type On **Friday** the oven in South gets serviced: bake in Centre that morning.
  2. In Kind, choose Attention

A dashboard on the home

With the Dashboard tile you put a published dashboard on the home, or one of its tiles: here the chart with the items per product. Colleagues see it live, with their own rights: what they may not read, they do not see here either.

  1. Click Dashboard
A dashboard on the home · Click Dashboard
  1. In Dashboard, choose Orders this week
  2. In One tile, choose Items per product
  3. In Title · Name (Dutch), type Stuks per product deze week
  4. In Title · Name (English), type Items per product this week
A dashboard on the home · In Dashboard, choose Orders this week; In One tile, choose Items per product; In Title · Name (Dutch), type Stuks per product deze week; In Title · Name (English), type Items per product this week
A dashboard on the home · The dashboard, live on the page.

A question box for the AI Colleague

The Chat start box lets colleagues ask an AI Colleague a question straight away, with suggested questions to click. The answer arrives in the chat.

  1. Click Chat start box

Step 8 / 10

Save and view the home as Employees

Choose View as… at the top and the audience. You see the home exactly as the server filters it for those people, with on the right what is left out for them and why. So before publishing you see whether everyone can open what you show.

  1. Click Save
Save and view the home as Employees · Click Save
  1. In View the home as an audience, choose Employees
Save and view the home as Employees · In View the home as an audience, choose Employees
Save and view the home as Employees · ‘Nothing left out’: Employees may open everything shown here.
  1. Click Close
Save and view the home as Employees · Click Close
Step 9 / 10

Publish, after the check

Publishing first shows the security check: is anything open that should be closed, such as confidential data for everyone? A serious problem stops the publishing, unless you accept the risk with a reason (which is recorded). When all is well you publish; your colleagues see the new version at once.

  1. Click Publish
Publish, after the check · Click Publish
Publish, after the check · The check: nothing found.
  1. Click Publish
Publish, after the check · Click Publish
Publish, after the check · A new version, active.
Step 10 / 10

This is what an employee sees

A colleague with the role Employee signs in at your company's address and sees the variant for Employees. The welcome calls them by name; the announcement disappears by itself after its end date.

This is what an employee sees · ‘Hi Sam Fisher, have a good day’, the announcement, the dashboard and the question box.
