Core HR & Organization Hub

Employees, organization structure, org chart, documents and assets in one consolidated screen.

Overview

Core HR & Organization Hub consolidates the foundational HR screens — employee master data, organization structure, org chart, HR document intake and company asset tracking — into a single page with an internal sub-navigation list. Selecting an item on the left renders that sub-screen’s content inline in the same page, without a full navigation away from the hub. It is one of the three hubs shown in the sidebar when Hub view mode is active for the Human Resources module, and every other HR workflow — recruitment, leave, performance — ultimately depends on the employee and organization data managed here.

Core HR & Organization Hub does not introduce any new HR logic of its own — all five sub-screens render the exact same components used by their standalone Grid View screens. Unlike Finance’s hubs, none of Core HR & Organization Hub’s sub-screens are placeholders; every one of them is a fully working screen today.

What's Included

Sub-screenStatusDescription
EmployeesLiveThe Personnel List — the master directory of every employee record, reused from the standalone Employees screen.
OrganizationLiveHR Organization — departments, positions and reporting structure, reused from the standalone Organization screen.
Org ChartLiveA visual org chart built from the organization structure, reused from the standalone Org Chart screen.
DocumentsLiveManager Document Entry — HR document intake and processing, reused from the standalone Document Entry screen.
AssetsLiveHR Asset Manager — company equipment and assets assigned to employees, reused from the standalone Asset Manager screen.

AI Assistant

Core HR & Organization Hub includes a single, hub-level built-in AI Assistant, opened from the collapsed AI Assistant tab anchored to the right edge of the screen (click it to slide the panel open; click the tab on the panel's own left edge, or its header X, to close it again). Its context follows whichever sub-screen you currently have selected on the left — Employees, Organization, Org Chart, Documents or Assets — and updates automatically the moment you switch tabs, without needing to reopen the panel. Example questions it can answer:

  • A summary of what's currently visible on the active sub-screen
  • Coverage gaps or missing data on that sub-screen (for example, employees with no department, or assets past their warranty)
  • Headcounts, counts and simple breakdowns scoped to the active sub-screen
  • Natural follow-up questions building on its previous answer

One assistant per hub, not one per sub-screen

Organization and Assets each ship with their own AI Assistant when opened standalone from Grid View (Organization, Asset Manager). Inside this hub, those two sub-screens' own assistant panels are suppressed so you only ever see one AI Assistant entry point on screen at a time — the hub's own panel, scoped to whichever tab is active.

Replies can be saved as a report (Save as Report) for later reference, and you can attach existing Knowledge sources to ground its answers in additional context beyond the active sub-screen's data.

How It Works

Open Core HR & Organization Hub from the sidebar
Pick a sub-screen from the internal list on the left
Its content renders in place — no full page navigation

All five sub-screens — Employees, Organization, Org Chart, Documents and Assets — are fully live and reuse the exact same underlying components as their Grid View counterparts, so data entered in one view mode is immediately visible in the other. Because employee and organization data is shared across the entire HR module, changes made in any Core HR & Organization Hub sub-screen (for example adding a new employee in Employees) are reflected everywhere that data is referenced — including in the Talent & Acquisition and Time & Operations hubs.

All five sub-screens are live

Unlike some other TotalApp hubs that still carry “Soon” placeholder sub-screens, every sub-screen in Core HR & Organization Hub ships as a fully functional screen today — there is nothing waiting to be built here.

Hub View vs. Grid View

TotalApp’s Human Resources module supports two view modes, controlled from Settings → Appearance or the sidebar view-mode toggle:

Hub View
Sidebar shows 3 consolidated hub entries — Core HR & Organization, Talent & Acquisition, Time & Operations.
Grid View
Sidebar shows individual entries instead — Employees, Organization, Org Chart, Recruitment, CV Screening, Leave Management, Overtime, Expense Management, HR Reports, and so on.

Both view modes read and write the same underlying tenant data — switching between them changes only how screens are organized for navigation, never the data itself. A hub’s sub-screens are literally the same React components as their Grid View standalone counterparts, just rendered inline inside the hub’s internal navigation instead of as a full top-level screen.

My Workspace self-service screens are unaffected

HR’s four employee self-service screens — My Leaves, My Expenses, My Overtime and My Assets — live under My Workspace, not under the Human Resources sidebar group, and are not part of this Hub View vs. Grid View toggle at all. They stay visible the same way regardless of which HR view mode a manager or admin has selected. Don’t confuse the manager-facing approval screens inside Time & Operations Hub (Leaves, Overtime, Expenses) with these employee-facing self-service equivalents — they are different screens serving different roles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are any of the sub-screens in Core HR & Organization Hub placeholders?
No. Unlike Finance Hub’s Accounting Hub, all five sub-screens here — Employees, Organization, Org Chart, Documents and Assets — are fully live and functional. There is no “Soon” badge anywhere in this hub.
Is Employees here the same data as the standalone Employees (Personnel List) screen in Grid View?
Yes — it is literally the same component (PersonnelList) rendered inline inside the hub, not a copy. There is exactly one employee master directory; Core HR & Organization Hub and the standalone Employees screen are simply two different navigation paths to it.
If I add a new employee in the Employees sub-screen, does it show up in Talent & Acquisition Hub too?
Yes. Employee records are shared tenant data, not scoped to a single hub. A new employee added here is immediately visible anywhere employee data is referenced across HR — including Recruitment, CV Screening, Employee Skills and Performance KPI in Talent & Acquisition Hub, and the approval screens in Time & Operations Hub.
Does the Org Chart sub-screen update automatically when I change reporting lines in Organization?
Yes. Org Chart is a visual rendering built directly from the same organization structure data (departments, positions, reporting lines) that the Organization sub-screen manages, so a change made in Organization is reflected in the Org Chart the next time it is viewed.
Which HR self-service screens are NOT part of this hub?
My Leaves, My Expenses, My Overtime and My Assets are employee self-service screens that live in My Workspace, separate from the Human Resources sidebar group entirely. They are not affected by the Hub View / Grid View toggle described above and are always reached the same way, regardless of which HR view mode is active.
