Managing app visibility in HRStop Connect

When creating or editing an app shortcut in HRStop Connect, administrators can decide which employees should see the app in the HRStop Connect launcher. This is managed using visibility criteria. Visibility settings control only whether the app appears in the HRStop Connect menu; they do not affect permissions within the application itself.

Control Panel → Settings → Modules → Scroll to HRStop Connect → Manage App Links

How visibility works

  • Visibility settings determine who can see the app in HRStop Connect.
  • Administrators can define specific criteria to control which employees should see the app.
  • Employees see only apps that match their profile details and are published.
  • If no criteria match an employee, the app does not appear in their HRStop Connect launcher.

Configuring visibility criteria

While adding or editing an app shortcut, administrators can define visibility by selecting applicable criteria.

A typical configuration includes:

• Band / Grade – Allows the app to be shown to employees belonging to selected bands or grades.
• Business Unit – Allows the app to be shown to employees within selected business units.

By default, all available options are selected. Administrators can remove selections to restrict visibility to specific employee groups.

Important behavior

• If all criteria are removed, the app is not visible to any employee.
• When an app is published, only employees matching the selected criteria see the app.
• Visibility settings affect only appearance in the HRStop Connect launcher.

Next step

Once visibility settings are configured, administrators can publish and manage app shortcuts.
