This article guides you through the essential steps every KEBS user should complete on their first login: reviewing your employee profile, understanding the sections available to you, configuring your notification preferences, and learning the key terms used across the platform.
Reviewing Your Profile
Confirm that your personal and employment details are accurate from day one, and know exactly where to find each section of your profile whenever you need it.
Your profile in KEBS is accessible via HR > Profile > Overview. It is your personal record within the platform and contains everything from contact details and employment history to skill certifications and cost information.
- 1Click the grid icon in the top-left corner to open the app menu, then select Employee Directory under the HR category. Alternatively, click your avatar in the top-right corner and choose My Profile.
- 2Your profile opens on the Overview tab. The top summary card displays your name, Employee ID, department, employment type, location, Date of Joining, years of experience in KEBS, and current status.
- 3Below the summary card, the Employee Details section shows the same core fields in an editable format. Click the Edit button to update any field you have permission to change.
- 4Use the sub-tabs across the top of the Overview page to navigate between the different sections of your profile: Personal Details, Employment History, Accounts & Statutory IDs, Education Details, Certificate Details, and Skill Details.
The right-hand panel on the profile page provides quick-jump links to deeper sections of your record. These sections are not sub-tabs but separate anchored areas on the same page:
| Section | What it contains |
|---|---|
| About [Your Name] | A summary of your role, department, and primary contact details |
| Organisation | Your reporting structure and organizational unit |
| Project Details | Projects you are currently assigned to or have previously worked on |
| Time & Leaves | Your timesheet history and leave balances |
| Background Verification | Pre-employment check records managed by HR |
| Documents | Uploaded files such as offer letters, contracts, and ID copies |
| Cost Details | Internal cost rate information visible to authorized roles |
Configuring Notification Preferences
Keep your notification panel focused on what matters most by choosing to view approvals, unread items, or all notifications at any time.
KEBS delivers platform notifications in a slide-out panel accessible from the top navigation bar. On your first login, the panel will typically be empty. Setting up your preferred view ensures you see the right alerts as activity picks up.
- 1Click the bell icon in the top navigation bar on any KEBS page. The Notifications panel slides in from the right side of the screen.
- 2At the top of the panel you will see three icon controls alongside the panel title: a refresh icon to reload notifications, a settings icon to open notification configuration, and an X to close the panel.
- 3Click the three-dot menu (vertical ellipsis) next to the panel title. A dropdown appears with two filter options: Show Approvals and Show Unread.
- 4Select Show Approvals to filter the panel to display only items waiting for your approval action, such as leave requests or expense submissions.
- 5Select Show Unread to filter the panel to display only notifications you have not yet opened or acknowledged.
- 6Click the settings icon (gear) in the panel header to open notification configuration where you can manage which event types trigger alerts for your account.
