Login In

The very first step is to log in to Service Geeni.

To do this:

  • Open Google Chrome.

On the landing page:

  • Enter your Email address.

  • Enter password.

Your Service Geeni URL, Email and Password are provided by your Onboarding Team.

Pro Tip: Make sure you bookmark the URL YourCompanyName.Servicegeeni.com/Home/Index

Be careful not to use https://identity.servicegeeni.com/login as a bookmark.


Home Page

This is your Service Geeni home page Dashboard.

  • Clicking on the burger menu will make the main menu smaller.

This is helpful when using some screens to give you more working space.

Favourites

The Favourites feature is populated with your most frequently used modules.

  • Here you can star the ones that you would like at the top of the list.

  • You can Star a maximum of 5 modules and 4 frequently used ones.

The Frequently Used list will change depending on what is used frequently.

Managing your favourites

  • You can manage your favourites by clicking on the MANAGE FAVOURITES button.

The Manage Favourites editor will open up where you can make your selection.


Dashboard

Your Dashboard's view is customisable, you can add a range of items such as Reports, KPIs and shortcuts.

To edit the dashboard:

  • Click on Customise Dashboard.

From here, you can customise how your home page is laid out.

You will see 4 tabs.

  • Add Sub Module

  • Add KPI

  • Add Reports

  • Add Self Service

Clicking on any of the Sub Module, KPI, Report, or Self Service icons, will add them to your Dashboard.

The list of available options may vary depending on what modules have been enabled for your company and also what User Access, Rights and Modules you have access to.

  • If you add a Report

Depending on which report you select, you will be asked for the criteria (parameters) for the report to run.

If your report has a lot of data, we recommend having a filter on it, as a data-heavy report could slow the refresh on the home page.

Search a Report

Once a Report has been added to your Dashboard, you can search a Report using the bar with the blue arrow on the right of the report.

This will expand the search screen.

Here you can find how many counts (the occurrence) are in the report. This will not search all of Service Geeni it is particular to the report and what filter/s were applied.


  • If you add Self Service:

When you go to add Self Service, the list will be empty, this list depends on Reports being Favorited and Categorised within the SSR module.

Once a report in SSR has been Categorised &/ or set as a favourite, you will see it appear in the list.

You can now:

  • Double-click on the SSR report to add it to your home page.


Changing your Dashboard

Once you have added a Module, Report or KPI you can move them around to get the layout you want to help with your daily use of Service Geeni.

  • You can move them around by clicking and dragging.

  • If you want to resize any of them, go to the corners and you will see a double arrow.

  • The x in the top right will delete an element from the dashboard (this will only remove the shortcut you created).


Logout

You can log out of Service Geeni by:

  • Clicking the My Account menu.

  • Select Logout.

For security reasons, Service Geeni will time out after some time.


Accessing System Settings

System Settings lets you configure and control global settings in Service Geeni, rather than managing them at the account level. Here, you can manage company details, notifications, rules, passwords, and more.

You can select System Settings from the settings menu next to the notification icon image.

You will find six tabs, each containing various customisation and rule-setting options.


Company Address

The Company Address tab is where you can add your company details. These details are important, as the system will use them on standard documents such as invoices, so include your company logo, name and address to ensure they appear correctly.

You can edit your Company Address by:

  • Clicking the edit icon at the bottom of the page, will make all the fields editable.


User Settings

User Settings allow you to manage system access, user permissions, and profile information. These settings apply to back-office and Web Portal users but do not affect engineers.


Basic Module Navigation

Search Criteria

Search criteria is a common field found in the filter section. The Criteria options are dependent on which columns have been selected to display.
