Preceda Employee Self Service (ESS) allows you to view and update various components of your Personal, Leave and Payroll Details.

With Preceda ESS, you can:

 

The opening window or Welcome Page displays the Menus located at the left section of the screen. Links to important sites as well as company announcements or events may also be shown.

 

My Own Details Suggested Actions

Menus (e.g. Personal, Leave) are under My Own Details. Clicking this displays all the screens you may use.

For example, in My Own Details, clicking Leave lists all the screens within this Menu (i.e. Leave Entitlements, Leave Application, and Leave History). Selecting a screen (e.g. Leave Entitlements) opens the window on the Details Pane where you may view or update the content of selected the screen.

ClosedNavigator Find

A special shortcut to find a window quickly is available. <Ctrl> + Q displays the Navigator Dialog box.

 

 To initiate a search of all Preceda screens:

  • You can also right click on a tab in the Second Level Navigation and select Find. This will display the Navigator Dialog box as well.

 

ClosedNavigation Standards

Preceda caters for both mouse bound users and keyboard users.

Using the Mouse - The mouse can be used to access menu items, buttons and icons on windows. Icons on toolbar have been introduced to quicken the mouse process by enabling the user to select frequently used commands via a shortcut.

Using the Keyboard - Use of the keyboard has been made as easy as possible with the introduction of shortcut keys for frequently used commands and navigation within windows and the Navigator.
