Personal start pages now launched on the employee website

In the news feed, you will automatically receive university-wide employee news articles. You can customise it yourself so that, in the same place, you can see e.g. external news articles, University Library news articles, or news articles for employees at your Faculty/unit.

Click on the gear symbol in the news block when you're signed in to choose which news feeds you want to access.

In the calendar, you will automatically see university-wide employee events. You can customise it yourself so that, in the same place, you can see e.g. external events, research events, or events for employees at your Faculty/unit.

Click on the gear symbol in the calendar block when you're signed in to choose which events you want hear about.

In the messages area, there will primarily be direct information from your manager (or another manager higher up). The idea is that these messages will reduce the number of emails sent and allow for all current information to be gathered in one place. Perhaps your manager has previously sent a weekly email to the entire department? Now the message area on the website will be the natural place to find that information. There will also be university-wide and department-wide announcements to all employees.

Current operations information will be increased and brief information about upcoming or emergency operational disruptions in university systems and premises will be shown. This can mean information about the upcoming maintenance of a certain system or information about the garage being cleaned.

Important operations information can be displayed at the top of the employee website, and updated operations information will be provided in the operations information block a bit farther down.

You can create a list of quick links to the tools/systems you use most often.

Click on the gear symbol under My tools to choose which tools/systems you want in your list. You can also adjust the order of these tools yourself if you don't want them sorted alphabetically.

You will be able to add colleagues whose contact information you wish to be able to find quickly to a separate list.

Under My colleagues, click the + button to search for and add the colleagues you want to the list. Under My colleagues, click on the gear symbol to remove a colleague from the list or adjust the order.

You can create a list of favourite webpages from hb.se. Here, for example, you can create quick links to webpages you visit often or to a news article you want to remember to read later.

Click on the star in the breadcrumb trail on a hb.se webpage to mark it as a favourite. Click on Favourites in the expandable tab to open the list of your favourites. The gear in the My favourites list gives you the option to remove webpages you no longer want to have marked as favourites.

If you are not logged in to the personal start page, the start page on the employee website will, just like today, show employee news articles, the employee calendar, and the like. Operations information will also be displayed. Once you have logged in, a number of new functions will become available that can be targeted and adapted specifically to you based on your role, tasks, organisational affiliation, and interests.
