Employee self-service portals for small teams

Leave, expenses, tickets and timesheets go in through forms, managers decide with a reason on the record, and every employee sees where their own request stands.

Workplace portals you can build

In plain English

What is an employee portal?

An employee portal is one place where staff file the everyday requests of working somewhere (time off, expenses, IT problems, timesheets) and see what happened to them, while managers and HR decide and keep records. Pory generates one from a plain-English description, with each employee seeing only their own requests.

The parts behind workplace portals

Each one reads and writes the same records, so a form, its approval and the status page someone checks are one system. How Pory builds a portal

Collect

3 parts
  • Forms

    Signed-in or public, with typed fields and file uploads. A form files a record; it doesn't start an email thread.

  • Public pages

    An application page, a notice board, an open directory: pages and forms anyone can use without signing in, on your domain.

  • File attachments

    Upload and view files on the record they belong to, not in a folder named FINAL v2.

Decide

6 parts
  • Approve / reject with a reason

    Decision buttons for whoever may edit the status. Who decided, when, and why stays on the record.

  • Status tracker

    “Where's my request?” answered as a progress bar on the submitter's own page.

  • Board by status

    Cards in columns. Drag a record to move it along.

  • Checklists

    A task list on each record, ticked off in its detail view, with progress shown. Use it for onboarding, inspections or opening duties.

  • Notes & scores

    A reviewer's score, a coach's feedback, a clinician's note, kept on the record it belongs to.

  • Reminders by date

    Renewals, expiries and overdue work, in an in-app inbox and by email.

Share

3 parts
  • Tables

    Search, filters, sorting, inline add and edit. The spreadsheet, minus the sharing accident.

  • Calendar

    Records on a month or week view, by date.

  • Counts, totals & averages

    Live figures over the records a viewer is allowed to see.

Control

3 parts
  • Who sees which records

    Each person sees their own records, the ones assigned to them, or the ones they manage. Fields can be hidden per role. Pory sets this up from your description, and you can adjust it in the editor.

  • Passwordless sign-in

    A sign-in link by email, by default. Password sign-in if you'd rather.

  • Your brand

    Your domain, your colors, your logo. Members see you.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Employees request leave in a form, managers approve or decline with a reason kept on the request, and HR sees the whole team's leave on a calendar.

Yes. Staff submit tickets, IT triages them on a board by status, and each requester follows their own ticket's progress instead of emailing for updates.

Yes. Each new hire gets their own checklist to tick off, and their manager sees how far along their hires are without chasing.

No. Every paid plan includes unlimited users, so a 400-person company pays the same as a 40-person one.
