Navigating the Company Admin dashboard
The Company Admin panel at a glance
When you log in to admin.dapplon.com, you land on the Dashboard — a summary of your most important HR metrics at a glance. The layout has three main areas: the left sidebar for navigation, the top bar for global actions and notifications, and the main content area.
The left sidebar
The sidebar groups all features into logical sections. Here is what each section contains:
Dashboard — your daily summary: headcount, pending leave requests, upcoming payroll date, and recent activity.
Employees — the full list of all active, inactive, and upcoming employees. From here you can add employees, view profiles, and manage employment details.
Payroll — run payroll, view payroll history, configure salary structures, manage bonuses, and download statutory reports.
Leave — manage leave types, policies, approvals, and the leave calendar.
Attendance — view attendance logs, configure shifts, and generate timesheet reports.
Recruitment — post jobs, manage candidates, view the Kanban pipeline, schedule interviews, and send offer letters.
Performance — create review cycles, track goals and OKRs, and view 360 feedback results.
Reports — headcount, payroll cost, leave utilisation, and custom report builder.
Settings — company profile, users, roles and permissions, integrations, and billing.
The dashboard widgets
- Total Headcount — shows current active employee count with a month-over-month change indicator
- Pending Leave Requests — click to jump directly to the approvals queue
- Upcoming Payroll — shows the next payroll run date and number of employees in scope
- New Joiners This Month — employees with a joining date in the current month
- Upcoming Birthdays & Work Anniversaries — a 7-day lookahead so you never miss them
