Exploring Cliq Homepage

The Cliq home page consists of various panels that offer quick ways to communicate and collaborate with your teammates. 

Department

There are three categories in this view.

  • At Work: Lists all of the department members who have checked in and are available.Additionally, you can also view all of the members of the department who are working remotely or are working from the office. 
  • Away: Lists members who have marked their status as "Away" or are on leave.
  • Meetings: Lists departments' ongoing and scheduled meetings.


Department Head: Displays the department head's name next to the department member's search bar.

Frequent Contacts

This view displays the members of the organization that you interact with most often. You can click on a contact to start a Cliq chat with them.
