Thank you Chris, updated.
Hi I have the quick action card enabled for Record Time but I only need it for non-us employees is there a way to make the quick action only visible for this group? I know I can made organizational cards below but I don't want to reinvent the wheel I'd rather use the quick action card that already exists but only appear for non-us employees. Any suggestions would be great
Hi I created a custom card that appears in Organizational updates. It's a popover but you have to click the card to get the msg to pop-over. Is there a way to force it to appear once you navigate to reimagined home page?
