Naming Your Panels in iCIMS

Tired of hunting for the right dashboard panel in iCIMS? Try naming panels with a login group prefix (like (HRBP)) and a number to keep them organized and easy to find. This method simplifies panel management, improves visibility, and helps you control display order with less guesswork.

One-Click iForm List

Just request the URLs from iCIMS HelpDesk, then build a text panel with clickable links. It’s a simple way to streamline form management across workflows and user types.

Per-User Custom Dashboards

Need to share a private iCIMS report with just one user? Temporarily assign them the User Admin role, create the custom panel while logged in as them, then revert their access. This allows them to see the panel without it appearing for others in their login group—perfect for sensitive or ad hoc reporting.
