The following table outlines the key functionalities and modules available in Quinyx, organized by the areas they support: Engage, Manage, Optimize, and Platform. These functionalities, ranging from scheduling and demand forecasting to advanced analytics and HR integration, empower admins to manage their workforce, streamline operations, and optimize resource allocation, all while ensuring smooth communication and collaboration across teams.
The Frontline Portal is a Quinyx module grouped under the Engage area. The Engage modules are mainly focused on employee and manager engagement and help companies communicate with their employees and let their employees communicate with each other. The modules of each area are an addition to the standard Quinyx experience to enhance your time using Quinyx. Once a module has been turned on, you need to configure the module to work as desired.
To control access to Quinyx’s Frontline Portal module, you must have the following standard Quinyx set-up in place:
- Unit Hierarchy
- Roles (consider Frontline Portal permissions)
- Staff Categories (consider Frontline Portal permissions)
In addition to this, the following configuration is required:
- Collaboration Group Type Labels
- Collaboration Groups & Hierarchy
- Collaboration Group Associations
- Frontline Portal Categories
