Backstage changes, October 2022

Dear Backstage Users,

We now have a new Dashboard which had not been updated since the earliest days of Backstage.

The inspiration is that, the long list of records did not provide a proper big picture view. We want to draw your attention to important figures that you can easily work on.

We released the new Dashboard since middle of October, and not long after that we received comments from users that they missed the detail view... a bit discouraging considering our efforts to make things better...

But it is also true that your voices are important to us.

As such we revised the design, which comes with both Big Picture view and Detail view, and you can easily navigate between the two. Users are now using the new design and we are keep following up.

It is an valuable lesson to us since there are many more we want to enhance at Backstage to make it a better HR software. Your feedback is most welcomed to make this happen together.

Feel free to let us know what you think.

Backstage Team
