Kreativstaff guide

Kreativstaff is Kreativlo's HR module: managing people from arrival to departure — employee records, attendance, leave, overtime, claims, payroll, performance reviews, organisation structure, and training.

This guide is written for everyone who uses it — employees, managers, HR, and Finance. No technical background needed.

Where to start

If you are…	Start at
An employee — clocking in, requesting leave, checking payslips	Menu map, then Attendance
A manager — deciding your team's requests	Menu map, then Approvals
HR — setting the system up from scratch	Access, then follow the setup order
New to all of this	Signing in

Signing in

Kreativstaff has no password form of its own. You always sign in through the Kreativlo portal:

• Open your company's Kreativstaff address, for example kreativstaff.kreativlo.com.

• If there is no session you are taken to the sign-in page. It already wears Kreativstaff's colours, but the address is sso.kreativlo.com. This is normal — that is the only address where your password may ever be typed.

• After signing in you land back on the Kreativstaff page you wanted.

Watch out for fake pages

If any page other than sso.kreativlo.com asks for your Kreativlo password, it is not ours. Do not fill it in; report it to your company administrator.

The shape of the application

Kreativstaff lives on a single browser page; all navigation happens within it. The menu has three levels:

Level	Its shape	What it holds
1. Circles	A column of circles along the left edge	One circle = one area of work
2. Rows	The panel that appears when you touch a circle	The pages within that area
3. Sub-tabs	A smaller indented row	Tabs belonging to that page

Three things that save time:

• Hovering a circle already opens its panel — no click needed.
• Clicking a circle opens the first page inside it.
• If you only have rights to one page in an area, the circle takes that page's name. An ordinary employee sees a circle labelled Holiday Calendar rather than "Leave Management".

Ten areas of work

Area	What it holds
Dashboard	A summary you arrange yourself
Attendance	Clock in/out, team attendance management, monthly recap
Leave Management	Leave policy, balances, holiday calendar
My Requests	Leave, overtime, working from home, claims, and other HR services
Approvals	The decision queue for managers, plus its analytics
KPI	Indicator-based performance assessment
Growth & Reviews	Training, skills, review cycles, and goals
People	Employee directory, organisation structure, onboarding
Payroll	Salary components, monthly runs, festive allowance, bonuses, loans, payslips
Tools	Six calculators that store nothing
