Introduction

The OnePlace Dashboard is Team Pulse for your desktop. It's a separate application that you install on your computer, which is cross-platform and available for Windows, Mac & Linux. The Dashboard allows you to send and receive pulses with your teammates without even opening your browser. A built-in notification system will make you aware of new pulses as they happen, by displaying notifications in the corner of your screen that will be familiar to Mac users.

Please upgrade your Flash Player The OnePlace Dashboard requires Adobe Flash to install.

Installation

Installing the OnePlace Dashboard is easy. If you have the Adobe Flash Plugin installed, you can just click the Install Now button to the right. If you are asked whether you would like to open or save the application, select open. You will then be asked to confirm if you would like to install the Dashboard. This screen also verifies that the application is published by us. Then just select a directory in which to install, launch the application, and start pulsing!

The Dashboard is self-upgrading, meaning that when you run it, it will automatically detect and notify you if a newer version is available. You will then be presented with a simple process for upgrading to the latest version.

Usage

Once you've launched the OnePlace Dashboard you are presented with a sign-in screen. Use your OnePlace email address and password to sign in. If you want to be signed in automatically in the future, just check the "Remember?" box.

If at any time you wish to have the Dashboard stop signing in automatically, this can be accomplished by clicking the Sign Out link at the top the window.

Sending and receiving pulses works the same way it does in OnePlace, including directing pulses to specific workplaces, teammates and entire accounts. You may view older pulses by using the navigation links beneath the pulse being displayed.

If you want to include emoticons (smiley face icons) in your pulses, you can enter them directly. For example, :-) is what you would enter for the "Happy" emoticon.

Notifications

If you've ever missed a time sensitive pulse you will appreciate Dashboard Notifications. When you receive a new pulse from one of your teammates you will be alerted with a notification in the upper right corner of your screen and an audible notification sound. If you have several new pulses, then multiple notification windows will be displayed, stacked on top of one another.

Preferences

There are a few configuration options for customizing your experience with the OnePlace Dashboard. Clicking on Preferences in the upper right corner of the application will display a screen where you can adjust the following settings:

Enable or Disable Notifications - Don't want to be informed when a new pulse arrives? No problem, just disable notifications.
Length of time Notifications remain on screen - Whether you need more time, or want the notifications to disappear sooner, this is the setting you need.
How often the Dashboard checks for new pulses - Use this setting to make the Dashboard check more or less frequently for new pulses.
