#Signing in

What you can do here

• Sign in with your work email and password.
• Show or hide your password while typing.

How to sign in

1. Open your company's EWP web address in your browser.
2. Type your work Email Address (for example, you@company.com).

Field guide

Tips & FAQ

• I'm on the wrong company's page. Each company has its own portal address. Double-check the web address matches your employer, then sign in again.
• "Invalid email or password." Check for typos and caps lock. If it still fails, your account may not be set up yet or may be inactive — contact your HR or IT administrator.
• Forgot password? The portal doesn't reset passwords by itself. Contact your HR or IT administrator to have it reset. (You can change a password you already know from your Profile — see Profile.)
• You stay signed in on the device you use until you sign out. Always sign out on shared or public computers using the Sign out icon at the bottom of the sidebar.

#Getting around

Everything is reached from the sidebar on the left. It's split into two groups:

• Workspace — Dashboard, My Projects, My Tasks, Timesheets, Org Chart, HR Requests, Documents.
• Personal — Notifications and Profile.

Your name, role, and department show at the bottom, along with the Sign out button.

---

#Dashboard

Where to find it: Sidebar → Dashboard (this is your home screen after signing in).

Your Dashboard is a personal summary — a friendly "here's where things stand" view that pulls together your tickets, hours, leave, and latest notifications.

What you can do here

• See a welcome banner with today's date, your overdue tickets, hours logged today, and how many active projects you're on.
• Check four quick stat cards: Active Tickets, Hours This Week, Leave Remaining, and Notifications.
• Glance at your weekly timesheet progress bar and a day-by-day mini chart.
• See your leave balances at a glance.
• Review your most recent unread notifications.
• Jump into any of your active projects.

How to use it

1. Read the welcome banner at the top for today's highlights.
2. Click any stat card to jump straight to that area — for example, click Hours This Week to open Timesheets, or Leave Remaining to open HR Requests.
3. Under My Projects Overview, click a project card to open its workspace.
4. Click a notification in Recent Notifications to open it, or All to see every notification.

Field guide

Tips & FAQ

• The dashboard shows a weekly target of 40 hours. That's the standard full-time target used to measure your progress bar.
• Numbers look empty right after joining. Once you're assigned to projects and start logging time, the cards fill in automatically.

#Inside a project

When you open a project you get a workspace with three tabs:

1. Open the project and stay on the Board tab.
2. Make sure you're in kanban view (the board icon, top right of the toolbar).
3. Drag a ticket card from one column to the next (for example, from In Progress to Review). It saves automatically.

How to create a ticket

3. Optionally add a Description.
4. Choose a Type and Priority (both required).
