Subscribe-HR's Activation Hub Dashboard is the central hub for the self-configuration and self-activation of all the System's HR Software solutions as well as the basic System settings. The Activation Hub has been set up to enable both Free Trial Users and Customers to activate and configure the entire System from one location. From creating Key System Settings and Uploading Data, to managing the creation and activation of Users or configuring Performance Review cycles, everything the User needs to set up the System can be done via the Activation Hub. This one-of-a-kind feature makes it faster and easier for Users to get the System set up to meet the unique needs of their organisation, or it enables the Subscribe-HR Implementation Team to get Customers up and running quickly.

NOTE: It is absolutely essential that you work through the set up and configuration of your Free Trial one Widget at a time in the above order. For each Widget, please follow each step in numerical order, completing each step before you move on to the next. FAILURE TO WORK THROUGH THE SET UP AND CONFIGURATION OF YOUR FREE TRIAL IN THIS WAY MAY RESULT IN ERRORS. In many instances, there is a hierarchy in relation to some data inputs, and if previous data in the hierarchy isn't entered (or isn't entered correctly), subsequent data will not be able to be saved correctly.

The Activation Hub is Subscribe-HR's one-of-a-kind feature that enables Users to configure and activate the main features of Subscribe-HR's Codeless Cloud HR Software. The self-activating and self-configuring nature of the Activation Hub means it can be used by you, the User, or the Subscribe-HR set-up Team to set your system up quickly.

Widgets on the Activation Hub can only be maximised (not minimised) and display a maximum of 10 menu items only. If there are more than 10 menu items in a Widget, 'More Available....' will be displayed on the top right of the Widget, next to the 'small square (with rounded corners). To view the full list of menu items, click the small square to maximise the Widget and this will display all menu items.

Multi-Currency For Users with offices/locations in multiple countries (making payments to Employees in multiple currencies), you can 'Activate' the Multi-Currency feature here.

To activate Multi-Currency settings:

  • Click 'Activate Multi-Currency Support.'
  • Select 'System Base Currency' from the dropdown menu.
  • Click "Save."

When activated, the Multi-Currency setting applies as follows:

  • The currency selected/specified will be set as the 'base' currency for the entire system.
  • When creating a 'New Employee,' if that Employee is located in a different country/paid in a different currency, you can specify the local currency for their Salary in the 'Currency' step of the New Employee Wizard (which will only appear if 'Multi-Currency' is activated). You then enter the amount they will be paid in the local currency specified. The 'Currency' field in the New Employee Wizard will default to the currency set as standard/default in the Multi-Currency features unless it is changed to a different local currency.
  • If a local currency is applied to the Employee, the base and local currencies will then be displayed on the 'Salary' page of the Employee Record, as well as the conversion rate. The conversion rate is updated every 24 hours.

To change the local currency for an Employee (if they move to a different country to fill Job Role), follow these steps:

  • A System Admin User changes the 'Local Currency' for that Employee via the Activation Hub > User Management > 'User Management Control Centre.'
  • A new 'Salary' is created for the Employee via Core-HR > Employee > Salary.
  • Enter the Salary amount in the new local currency.

The new 'Local Currency' will then be applied to the new 'Salary' from that point forward. The local currency type will not be applied to current/active or previous salaries for the Employee - only to Salary records that are created AFTER the currency has been changed.

NOTES:

  • If the Multi-Currency option is not activated, the System will default to AUD for all Users and a different/local currency option will not be available in the Employee Wizard (when setting up a New Employee).
  • The Multi-Currency functionality does not apply retrospectively to Employee Salary records that were created prior to 'Multi-Currency' being activated in the Activation Hub. To apply a local currency (different to the 'base' currency) to an Employee's Salary - follow the steps outlined above (where it says 'To change the local currency for an Employee...).

1. Select Group/s - Select/assign single or multiple User Group/s to User Account/s/Employee/s as outlined below.
2. Timezone - Select the Timezone of the User Account/s/Employee/s (if assigning User Groups to individuals in different Timezones, then this needs to be done separately/per Timezone). You can then Bulk Assign - Manage Timezones via the Bulk Assign option.
3. Select People From:

  • Active Users - With User Group and Employee Record - assigns the specified User Group/s to Users that already have an Employee record and other User Group/s assigned. Once (a) new User Group/s are assigned, this User's record will appear on the 'Active Users (with User Group & Employee Record) Tab in the 'User Management Control Centre' (see below).
  • No User Group - Employee Record Only - Select Single/Multiple Employees - assigns the specified User Group/s to Users with an Employee Record only (they do not have any other User Group/s assigned). Once (a) new User Group/s are assigned, this User's record will appear on the 'Activated' (Users with User Group & Employee Record) Tab in the 'User Management Control Centre' (see below). It can take up to 5 minutes for the Accounts to be Activated. The User who Activated the Accounts will receive an e-mail with a list of people that were Activated. If there is anyone who could not be Activated (Errors), these people will be show in this e-mail also.

NOTES:

    • This option can only be used to assign (a) User Group/s to an Employee/s record for the first time. Thereafter if/when adding new/extra User Group/s (assuming that the Employee has 'activated' their User Account (after the first/initial activation email was sent)), use the 'Active Users' option (not the 'No User Group' option).
    • The User Account activation link sent via email to the User expires after 24 hrs. If the link expires, System Administrators will need to use the 'Send Reset Password' action on the 'Activation Sent' Tab to resend it.
  • No User Group - Employee Record Only - Select All Employees - assigns the specified User Group/s to Users for all Employees if they do not have any other User Groups assigned. Once (a) new User Group/s are assigned, the records will appear on the 'Active Users (with User Group & Employee Record) Tab in the 'User Management Control Centre' (see below). It can take up to 5 minutes for the Accounts to be Activated. The User who Activated the Accounts will receive an e-mail with a list of people that were Activated. If there is anyone who could not be Activated (Errors), these people will be show in this e-mail also.

NOTE: This option can only be used to assign (a) User Group/s to an Employee/s record for the first time. Thereafter if/when adding new/extra User Group/s (assuming that the Employee has 'activated' their User Account (after the first/initial activation email was sent)), use the 'Active Users' option (not the 'No User Group' option).

  • User Group Only - No Employee Record - assigns the specified User Group/s to Users a with an/other User Group/s only (they do not have an Employee record). Once (a) new User Group/s are assigned, this User's record will appear on the 'User Group Only (No Employee Record)' Tab in the 'User Management Control Centre' (see below).

Upon selection of one of the above options, a table of Users with that specific User Record type is displayed. To assign (a) User Group/s to an individual Employee/User record in the list, tick the square check box on the right hand side of the row (the box will turn green). Once all Employees/Users to whom the User Group/s selected have been specified (ticked), click 'Next.' Check the summary of the User Group/s, Employee/s and User/s selected. If correct click 'Update User Group,' and if not, return to the previous steps in the Wizard, correct any errors and once corrected, update the User Group/s.

NOTES:

  • When creating a User Account/assigning User Group/s - Users must have a unique email address in the 'Work Email' field on their User/Employee record. If the work email is missing from either the User/Employee record (one of which will be relevant depending on which of the three 'User/s' options is selected above), or if there is another User/Employee in the system with the same work email address, then assigning (a) User Group/s at this step will fail.
  • If an Employee/User appears in the list and a work email has not been assigned, add one via the button 'Please Add Work Email - Click Here.'
  • The User Account activation link sent via email to the User expires after 24 hrs. If the link expires, System Administrators will need to use the 'Send Reset Password' action on the 'Activation Sent' Tab to resend it.
User Management Control Centre This tool enables Users to create, update and manage Employee, User and User Group/s settings and permissions. User/Employee records are arranged on the Tabs in the User Management Control Centre as follows:
  • Activation Sent - Employee User Account activated and activation email sent (but not yet completed/activated). The Employee/User will be able to access the System once they have activated their User Account.
  • Activated (with User Group & Employee Record) - Users with an active Employee record/User Account and User Group/s assigned. Note: Employee/User Accounts remain active (even if 'Set as Leaver' and Offboarded) unless/until 'De-Activated' (via the 'Action' dropdown menu). When the Account has been deactivated, the Employee/User will then move to/appear under the 'Inactive' Tab. If an Employee/User has been Deactivated, and at some point in the future, their User Account and Employee record are 'Reactivated,' they will move to the 'Active Users (with User Group & Employee Record)' Tab. If the User Account was previously only had User Groups assigned (and no Employee Record), the User will move to the 'User Group Only (No Employee Record)' Tab.
  • Inactive - Selecting this Tab will display all Users/Employees who have been deactivated from your System, or New Employees that have not been Onboarded, but for whom an 'Inactive' User Account with ESS User Group assigned was created when their Employee record was created in the System (this is standard).
  • No User Group (Employee Record Only) - Users with an active Employee record but with no User Group/s assigned/User Account. These Users (Employees) can't access the System (as they haven't been assigned any User Groups and System access is tied to User Group access/permissions. Once (a) User Group/s is/are assigned, the record will move to the 'Activation Sent' Tab and the Employee will be able to access the System once they have activated their User Account.
  • User Group Only (No Employee Record) - Users with no active Employee record but with (a) User Group/s assigned/a User Account. If/when an Employee record is created and assigned to a User with User Group only access, they will move to the 'Active Users (with User Group & Employee Record)' Tab.

The Actions available in the User Management Control Centre include:

  • Send Reset Password - Re/sends the activation email that contains the details necessary to activate the User's Account (for example if the link expired before the user clicked on it), including setting a password.
  • Cancel Activation - cancels the User/User Account activation email, and prevents User from setting a password and activating their User Account.
  • De-activate User - deactivates the User/User Account so that they can no longer access the System.
  • Reactivate User - reactivates a previously cancelled User/User Account activation/activation email.
  • Reactivate User and Update User Group - reactivates a previously deactivated User/User Account and provides the options to re/assign User Group/s.
  • Assign User Group and Profile - assign User Group/s to the User/Employee profile.
  • Update User Group - update User Group/s that are assigned to the User/Employee profile.

  • Update timezone - update the Timezone for the User/Employee.
  • Change Email Address - change the Work email address for Active Employee/s/User/s. Requesting/submitting a change of Email Address triggers an email that is sent to the User's new Work Email. Once the User received the Email and clicks on the link - their Work Email address will be updated in the System. This will also update their User Account Email (the email address used to log into/access the System).

NOTES:

  • There are three types of email addresses used in Subscribe-HR:
    • Personal/Home - which is used for communicating with Applicants up to the point when their Employee/User Account is activated. Onboarding Welcome Packs/Workflows are sent to 'New Employees' via their 'Personal' email (Email Address Home/Personal) because they haven't yet completed the Onboarding process (which means they haven't signed their contract and aren't yet technically/officially an Employee).
    • Work - which is used when activating an Employee's User Account (after they have completed their Onboarding Welcome Pack/Workflow, agreed to/signed their contract and can be officially classified as an 'Employee' of the organisation). This email field requires/uses an official 'Work' email address (for security reasons it is advised not to the an Employee's personal email address to activate their User Account). A 'work' email is mandatory (in the 'Email Address Work' field) to activate the Employee's User account (the 'Work' email also becomes the 'User' email - they are one and the same), because all System related Workflows/Notifications (and the Employee/User's access to the System) is linked to their 'Work' email address. A personal email address must not (for security/compliance reasons) be used in the 'Work' email field when creating an Employee record and then activating that Employee's User account.
    • User - which is used when creating/activating an Employee's User Account, or when creating a User account for an individual without an Employee record (for example, someone from outside the organisation like a Recruitment Agent/Agency). This email field also requires/uses a 'Work' email address. For Employees that have already been created in the System, their Work email address is used to activate their 'User' account (which gives them access to the System/enables them to log in). When creating a User Account for a User without an Employee record (for example, an individual outside the organisation (like a Recruiter), the 'Work' email address field is also mandatory. However, for 'User only' Accounts (Users with no Employee record), the User may enter any email address in this field (even if it is a personal email address), because they won't have an official 'Work' email address from your organisation. It is advisable not to provide/assign System access to anyone using a personal email address unless absolutely necessary. Where possible (e.g. for a Recruiter) it is preferable (for security/compliance reasons) to use their own 'Work' email address in this field (that is - an official 'work' email address from their own organisation.
  • Send Reset Password - resets the Employee/s/User/s password and sends a reset notification email to the User's 'Work' email.
  • Create Employee Record - create a new Employee record for a User (a User with a User Account/User Group/s but no Employee record).

NOTES:

  • For compliance purposes and to ensure data integrity when integrating with third-party applications (Payroll, e-Learning), the User/Employee's Work Email address must used (or an email address added to the 'Work Email' field) for the creation of the User/Employee account that provides access to the System.
  • The 'Work Email' is mandatory for the the creation of a User Account in the Team Dashboards system only.

Data Manager

The Data Manager Widget enables Free Trial Users to configure all the data related settings for setting up a Free Trial (and if/when converted, official Customer) account. Within the Data Manager Tool, Users can view, edit and/or create all the System and Employee related data needed in the Subscribe-HR System using their own organisational data if desired (as opposed to relying on the standard content provided by Subscribe-HR). This functionality has been designed to enable “touchless” configurability and customisation for Users. The configurability options available within the Data Manager Tool make it possible for Users to configure the Subscribe-HR System to meet the unique needs of their business right from the Free Trial and all the way through to conversion and implementation of their official Customer Account.

NOTE: Before getting started on the Data Manager Widget settings please note that it is absolutely essential that you work through the set up and configuration of your Free Trial one Widget at a time in the above order. For each Widget, please follow each step in numerical order, completing each step before you move on to the next. FAILURE TO WORK THROUGH THE SET UP AND CONFIGURATION OF YOUR FREE TRIAL IN THIS WAY WILL RESULT IN ERRORS. In many instances, there is a hierarchy in relation to some data inputs, and if previous data in the hierarchy isn't entered (or isn't entered correctly), subsequent data will not be able to be saved correctly.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Workflows are temporarily deactivated during the data upload process into the Subscribe-HR System so that the data being uploaded without triggered any active workflows.


Field Name Description
Lookup Data Management The “Lookup Table Data” contains the Code Library of all data used/available in the Free Trial and within the Subscribe-HR System. Users can view codes, create, edit or delete Code Library data to configure/customise the Free Trial/System to suit their needs. To create a new Lookup Table – simply click on “the green +Create New” button.

NOTE: Do not move forward to the data export/upload steps until all the data related to creating Employees has been set up in the system including:

  • Locations.
  • Departments.
  • Divisions.
  • Business Areas.
  • Cost Centres.
  • Multi-Currency.
  • CPD Settings.
  • Public Holidays.
  • Entitlement Profiles.
  • Job Description Library.
Failure to create all necessary records for the above will result in errors during the data export/upload process.
Superannuation Funds Subscribe-HR’s System contains all the Super Funds available via the APRA Super Funds list called “List of RSES and RSE Licensees and MySuper Authorised products.” This list will automatically sync on a monthly basis and there is no further action needed by Users. Users can view and search the list all available Super Funds and Fund details via this Tool. This list can’t be edited or added to.
Bank Feed Subscribe-HR’s System contains a list of all the Banks available to Australian Users. This list will automatically sync on a monthly basis and there is no further action needed by Users. Users can view and search the list all available Banks and BSBs via this Tool. This list can’t be edited or added to.
Export Template (Supporting Data) There are two options. Create New Records and Update Existing Record. This is for both Employee Data and Supporting Data.

Update Existing Records. There is a limit of 500 Records for the export. If there are more than 500 records, you need to include a filter which is located at the bottom of the screen, to allow for exporting specific records which will add up to less than 500. The Update Existing Records option works in the same way as Create New Records, the difference being that when you "Export", the template that is exported, will export the data in the Data Base for those records. Which is why there is a data limit for 500, otherwise it would take too long for the system to export the records.

NOTE. CODES and CODE LIBRARY CAN BE USED in the same way as Create New and Update Supporting Information and Employee Information. Create New Code Libraries and Update Existing Code Libraries. These are Supporting Data Options.

Making Changes in the Template. Once you Export the Template, and then access it via you desktop/laptop, you can then make the changes in the XLS based on how you want to update the Data. Once this is done go to the Import (Supporting or Employee) Data option in the Data Manager Widget to perform the upload. See instructions below. Please note when you "Export the Template" for this option: Update Existing Records, there will be an ID field in the XLS. This ID field needs to remain, because the system need the ID to know which records have been updated. Do no change or remove this ID. You will also see the ID in the Preview, once the Data has been uploaded.


Create New RecordsSubscribe-HR makes it possible for Users to do a bulk upload of relevant organisational data into the Free Trial (and/or official Customer Account). Instead of having to set up this information manually, one record at a time, the export/upload process for Supporting data makes it possible for Users to upload data via these Tools. Supporting Data is classified as any type of data that needs to be uploaded into the system before Employee related data is uploaded. For example, to upload Employee Job data, you first need to upload Jobs into the System (so that the Job types that Employees might hold, and to which they will be assigned, are already present in the System).

Before you get started on uploading Supporting Data, please note that the correct process for uploading data into the systems is as follows:

  1. Format and export the “Export Template – Supporting Data” spreadsheet for each of the Supporting Data types (if necessary).
  2. Add data to each of the Supporting Data spreadsheets (see below for further explanation) and upload the spreadsheet via the “Upload Template – Support Data step.”
  3. Format and export the “Export Template – Employee Data spreadsheet for each of the Supporting Data types (if necessary).”
  4. Add data to each of the Employee Data spreadsheets (see below for further explanation) and upload the spreadsheet via the “Upload Template – Employee Data.”

Users are requested to complete these steps in the order specified below or the process will not work.

Outlined in this section is the format and export the “Export Template – Supporting Data” step. For the remaining steps, see the relevant section below.

To format the Supporting Data spreadsheet/s, click on “Export Template (Supporting Data)” and specify the following information:

  • Select the Template type you want to create/export from the dropdown list.
  • Search the available fields to find the ones you want to upload data for.
  • It is the fields in the right-hand side table that will be exported into the spreadsheet, so drag each field from the table on the left to the table on the right to add and remove fields that you want to include in the spreadsheet (you can reorder these fields too – to do so simply drag the fields up and down to reorder them). Mandatory fields are in red and can’t be removed from the right-hand column.
  • Once complete, click “Export.”

Users will need to create and export a formatted spreadsheet for each of the following 'Supporting' data types one at a time and specifically in the following order if those Supporting data types are required:

  • Locations.
  • Jobs. Please note Job Reports to Field cannot be exported - This field has been removed from the Export (Can't be used because system needs to know Jobs data before you can use Reports To). Once the Job data is Imported, please use the Support Information Management option in the Data Manager, to Assign Reports to for Jobs.
  • Company Property.
  • Leave Settings.
  • Code Library - Important - Do this before you do Codes. You are only editing existing record. If you update, after you export the data, do not add new records. Do not Touch any Columns that are RED. If you are updating Codes, the items that are going to be exported by default will be ID, Code Library Name, Code Name, Code. Library Entry Name (Code Library) - Contains Gender. If you export this Data into the XLS, you will see ID (DO NOT CHANGE THE ID), Code Library - Gender (Do not Touch the Code Library), Code Name (Male, Female etc, YOU CAN UPDATE THESE, if you are updating only update records, do not add new record, Code (You can change the Code. You can select other available items and move them from left to right to be included in the XLS when you Export. If you are creating new Code Library, then you follow the same process, but this time you enter the information into the XLS rather than update existing information that was exported.
  • Codes. Important - Do this After Code Library above. If you Update - You are only editing existing record. If you update, after you export the data, do not add new records. Do not Touch any Columns that are RED. If you are updating Codes, the items that are going to be exported by default will be ID, Code Library Name, Code Name, Code. Library Entry Name (Code Library) - Contains Gender. If you export this Data into the XLS, you will see ID (DO NOT CHANGE THE ID), Code Library - Gender (Do not Touch the Code Library), Code Name (Male, Female etc, YOU CAN UPDATE THESE, if you are updating only update records, do not add new record, Code (You can change the Code. You can select other available items and move them from left to right to be included in the XLS when you Export. If you are creating new Codes, then you follow the same process, but this time you enter the information into the XLS rather than update existing information that was exported.

As an example, to create and export a spreadsheet for 'Locations' follow these steps:

  1. Click 'Export Template (Supporting Data).'
  2. Select 'Locations' from the 'Choose Template' dropdown menu.
  3. Select and reorder the fields in the table on the right-hand side to ensure it contains all the fields types you want to upload data for. Note: Fields in red are mandatory and can’t be removed from the table on the right-hand side. If they are removed, this will cause an error at the next step 'Upload Template (Supporting Data). If Location related fields that you need to use do not appear please add new fields (via Maintenance > Locations) before creating the export template for Locations.
  4. Click 'Export.'

Once the Locations template has been exported, repeat this process for Jobs, Company Property, Leave settings, Codes and Code Library. Once data has been added to these spreadsheets and they are complete, they will then need to be uploaded back into the System in the next step: Upload Template – Supporting Data.

If you do not format, fill and upload data for ALL FOUR Supporting data types BEFORE uploading Employee data in the next step (if the Employee data is predicated on any of the Supporting data types), the Employee data upload process may not work.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • The Excel file that is created by the Export Template tool is formatted to appear with specific columns, column headings and formulas embedded into the spreadsheet to validate data before it is imported back into the System/User Account. Mandatory System fields will be highlighted with red headings in the spreadsheet.
  • DO NOT change the file name after export.
  • DO NOT move the file to a different location (only open the file and add data from the location where the file was saved on download - this may be in your downloads folder).
  • Save the file when complete and then upload the file from the same location.
  • DO NOT change the heading row content/names, format or formulas on any of the tabs in this spreadsheet as this may prevent the data from being accurately uploaded into the System by the Upload Template tool.
  • DO NOT reorder the columns.
  • If you copy and paste data from other sources (especially other spreadsheets) the data must match the format specified for each column (hover over the red triangle on the top right corner of each heading row cell to see the correct format).
  • The cells in some columns will contain dropdown/lookup menus. Depending on where you copy data from - if you copy and paste data into these cells, you may erase the lookup function and copy over it with a different data type. If you are copying data from a previous version of the Subscribe-HR Data Upload tool, you may copy and paste data into these fields, but only if the lookup data you’re copying for a particular column type matches exactly in both spreadsheets (old spreadsheet and new spreadsheet). If not, or if you have a data source that doesn’t contain the lookups, you MUST use the lookup dropdown menus to select the appropriate data for each cell for at least one of each response/answer types. Failure to do this will result in errors. If there are multiple records in a column that contains a data lookup with the same result, it is possible to copy and paste from one cell to another.
  • The columns in the spreadsheet have been formatted to force Users to input the correct data type. If you do not input the correct type of data in the right field, the spreadsheet will not validate upon upload back in the Subscribe-HR System and the upload process will fail/result in errors.
  • There is an inbuilt data validation process during upload and the Subscribe-HR System will flag and give you the opportunity to correct any/all errors during the upload/validation process (which is explained further below).
Upload Template (Supporting Data) The Upload Template creator for “Support” related information enables Users to upload correctly formatted bulk 'Supporting' data for the fields and records specified in the previous step (instead of having to input the data manually, one record/field at a time).

To upload the Supporting Data spreadsheet, click on “Upload Template (Supporting Data)” and specify the type of data you want to import from the dropdown list:

  • Locations.
  • Jobs.
  • Company Property.
  • Leave Settings.
  • Code Library. See Above in the Export Section. You can Update Existing or Create New. Important - DO this before Codes. Once you are exported the Code Library/s into the XLS, and you make the update, you can import the Data, via the Import Button. Once this is done you will be able to Preview. In the Preview you will be able to Edit and Delete prior to Importing. If New, the same process is followed. See above in the Supporting Data Export. You can enter New Records into the XLS if you are creating new. The Preview for New will show you the new records which are being Created. You can Edit and Delete these through the Preview before you upload.
  • Codes. See Above in the Export Section. You can Update Existing or Create New. Important - DO this before Codes. Once you are exported the Code Library/s into the XLS, and you make the update, you can import the Data, via the Import Button. Once this is done you will be able to Preview. In the Preview you will be able to Edit and Delete prior to Importing. If New, the same process is followed. See above in the Supporting Data Export. You can enter New Records into the XLS if you are creating new. You can enter New Records into the XLS if you are creating new. The Preview for New will show you the new records which are being Created. You can Edit and Delete these through the Preview before you upload.
  • Select the relevant/appropriate file to upload.
  • Click on “Preview.” Preview runs a validation process on the spreadsheet/data. If you have selected the incorrect spreadsheet/file to go with the relevant/associated data type, you will receive an error message.

NOTE. CODES and CODE LIBRARY CAN BE USED in the same way as Create New and Update Supporting Information and Employee Information. Create New Code Libraries and Update Existing Code Libraries. These are Supporting Information options.

‘Preview’ runs a validation process on the data in the spreadsheet. If there are any errors in the spreadsheet, the type of error will be identified in the top row of the data table. The top row of the table you will see a list of colour coded fields and data types s well as a calculation of the number of errors (if any) for that data/field type. If there is an error you can click on the name of the error type (e.g. mandatory field, email address) and this will show only/all the row/s in the spreadsheet that contain that validation error type. The data with the error will also be highlighted in the colour associated with the error type (for example, a Boolean Value error will be purple). You can then click on ‘Clear Filter’ next to the name of the error type to clear those rows and return to an ‘all rows’ view.

Validation error types are colour coded in the following manner:

  • Boolean values: purple.
  • Date format: orange.
  • Numeric value: blue.
  • Email address: pink.
  • Lookup Row: brown.
  • Mandatory field: green.

In the table below the top validation errors row, you will see all the data (columns and rows) being imported into the System. Any validation errors will appear in the colour related to the type of validation error listed above. To edit/fix data issues, click on the green ‘Edit’ button for the row in which the error occurs, then once you've corrected the cell with the error in it, click the Orange ‘Review’ button to check and complete. Users can also ‘Delete’ data rows by clicking on ‘Delete.’

When all data is correct and has been validated, you will see an orange bar across the top of the table that indicates that your data is ready to upload and the ‘Upload Now’ button appears at the bottom of the data table. Click ‘Upload Now’ to upload data.

NOTE: the data upload process takes a few minutes to complete. DO NOT leave the page, go to another tab, move to another App or browser window, or close the tab. Doing so may cancel the data upload process. Allow the upload process to run and complete itself before taking any further steps (you will see a green progress bar that indicates progress and confirms when the data Upload process is complete.

If the data Upload process works without error, you will see a Data Table with no errors and you can click ‘Finish’ to complete the process. If further errors have been identified, the data table will be divided into two halves:

  • Data without errors – this data has been uploaded into the System and no further action is needed.
  • Data with errors – this data needs to be corrected and re-uploaded.

There are three options for correcting data with errors, and by clicking on the ‘Fix Errors’ button, you will be able to choose which method you want to use. The options are:

  • Edit Now The Interface - Fix the data upload error/s by editing the record(s) through the interface. As per the preview step, you can edit each error/cell in the data table via the interface. Once all errors have been corrected, the orange upload bar will reappear, as will the ‘Upload Now’ button. Re-upload the corrected data. If the data is uploaded without further error, click ‘Finish’ to complete the process. If there are further errors, repeat this process until all errors are corrected and all data has been uploaded.
  • Export Errors – there are two ‘Export Errors’ options:
    • If you can fix these errors quickly, click ‘Export Errors' and this will allow you to save the spreadsheet (which will be saved with ‘_Errors’ in the file name, e.g. Locations_Errors.xls). Update the spreadsheet quickly, save it, return to this popup window (don’t close it while you’re fixing the errors), make sure the you’ve got the correct name in the ‘Choose Template’ field, click ‘Re-Upload Corrected Errors File’ and then re-upload the corrected errors spreadsheet. If the data is uploaded without further error, click ‘Finish’ to complete the process. If there are further errors, repeat this process until all errors are corrected and all data has been uploaded.
    • If you need more time to fix these errors in the exported errors spreadsheet, click ‘Export Errors’ and please take the time needed to do so. Close this window and once you’ve resolved all the errors, return to the Data Manager Widget, select 'Upload Template (File Name_Errors - e.g. Locations_Errors.xls)' step and re-upload the data (make sure the you’ve got the correct name in the ‘Choose Template’ field). Then repeat the upload process. Repeat the data upload process (outlined above) from scratch. Only after data has been uploaded correctly can you click ‘Finish.’
Assign Job Reporting This tool enables Users to assign (and reassign) reporting relationships between Jobs. That is, between a Job and the Job it reports to.
Export Template (Employee Data) Subscribe-HR makes it possible for Users to do a bulk upload of relevant Employee data into the Free Trial (and/or official Customer Account). Instead of having to set up this information manually, one at a time, the export/import process for Employee data makes it possible for Users to upload data via these Tools. Employee Data is classified as any type of data that needs to be uploaded into the system that is related directly to an Employee record. Please note that to upload Employee Job data (for example), you first need to upload Jobs (which is classified as 'Supporting' data - see previous 'Support' data export/upload step) into the System (so that the Job types that Employees might hold, and to which they will be assigned are already present in the System).

Users will need to create and export a formatted spreadsheet for each of the following 'Employee' data types one at a time and specifically in the following order if those Employee data types are required:

  • Employee.
  • Employee Address.
  • Employee Next of kin.
  • Employee Bank details.
  • Employee Background Checks.
  • Employee Certificates and Licences.
  • Employee Education and Qualifications.
  • Employee Entitlement.
  • Employee Incident.
  • Employee Jobs.
  • Employee leave profiles.
  • Employee Property.
  • Employee Salary.
  • Employee Superannuation. (NO PAYROLL INTEGRATION)
  • Employee Training records.
  • Employee Working hours.

To create and export a spreadsheet for 'Employee Data' follow these steps:

  1. Click 'Export Template (Employee Data).'
  2. Select 'Employee' from the 'Choose Template' dropdown menu.
  3. Select and reorder the fields in the table on the right hand side to ensure it contains all the fields types you want to upload data for. Note: Fields in red are mandatory and CAN'T be removed from the table on the right hand side. If they are removed, this will cause an error at the next step 'Upload Template (Employee Data). If Location related fields that you need to use do not appear - return to the 'Locations' step in the 'Create Key System Settings' Widget and add them before creating the export template for Employees.
  4. Click 'Export.'

Once the Employee template is complete, repeat this process for all the other Employee related options listed above. Once data has been added to these spreadsheets and they are complete, they will then need to be uploaded back into the System in the next step: Upload Template – Employee Data.

Performance Management

The Performance Management Widget enables System Administrators/Free Trial Users to view, edit and delete the full suite of configurable/customisable Performance Management related data settings within the Subscribe-HR System. This functionality has been designed to enable “touchless” configurability and customisation for Users. This makes it possible for Users to configure the Subscribe-HR System to meet the unique needs of their business fright rom the Free Trial and all the way through to conversion and implementation of their official Customer Account.

The Performance Management Widget contains the following functionality that enables Users to configure and customise functionality and data within both their Free Trial and Customer Accounts.

NOTE: Before getting started on the Performance Management Widget settings, please note that it is absolutely essential that you work through the set up and configuration of your Free Trial/System one Widget at a time in the above order. For each Widget, please follow each step in numerical order, completing each step before you move on to the next. FAILURE TO WORK THROUGH THE SET UP AND CONFIGURATION OF YOUR FREE TRIAL IN THIS WAY MAY RESULT IN ERRORS. In many instances, there is a hierarchy in relation to some data inputs, and if previous data in the hierarchy isn't entered (or isn't entered correctly), subsequent data will not be able to be saved correctly.

All Performance Review Cycle settings are located in the Performance Management or the Surveys Widgets on the Activation Hub. The settings that need to be configured prior to using Performance Management are:

Review Method - Specify if your Performance Review method is based on ‘Start Date’ (Employees complete their Performance Reviews annually based on their start date), or ‘Cycles’ (all Employees starting their Performance Reviews at the same time).
In order for the selected ‘Review Method’ to work (and for a Performance Review Cycle to be ‘activated’ or ‘sent’ to Employees), all of the following items need to also have been configured/completed in the System first.
Rating Scales - Configure/create all the ‘Rating scales’ that will be used for conducting and/or scoring the Performance Reviews.
Performance Review Forms - Configure/create the Performance Review Form/s to be used in the Performance Review Cycle.
Performance Review Cycles - Configure/create the Performance Review Workflow (including all the steps required to complete the Performance Review). Subscribe-HR’s Standard Performance Review Cycle template is available for all Customers to use ‘out-of-the-box.’
Business Objectives Library (Mission) - Configure/create the ‘Business Objectives’ that will be used for conducting Performance Reviews. Business Objectives are stand-alone (not linked to Goals).
Skills Library - Configure/create the ‘Skills’ that will be assessed in Performance Reviews. Skills assigned to Employees must refer to entries in the Skills library – they cannot be free text. Entries in the Skills library consist of:

  • Skill Type (selected from the Performance Skill Types Code Library).
  • Skill Name.

Goals Library - Configure/create the ‘Goals’ that will be assessed in Performance Reviews. Entries in the Goals library serve as suggestions; when Goals are defined for an Employee, they can use a Goal Name directly from the library, use a modified version of one, or be free text that doesn’t refer to any library entry. Entries in the Goals library consist of:

  • Business Objective (selected from the Business Objectives library).
  • Goal Type (selected from the Performance Goal Types Code Library).
  • Goal Name.

Values Library - Configure/create the ‘Values’ that will be assessed in Performance Reviews. Note Values are automatically included in the assessment (Ratings/Comments) Step if they have been set up the System. This is because they are relevant business wide (and don’t need to be assigned individually). Behaviours Library - Configure/create the ‘Behaviours’ that will be assessed in Performance Reviews. Email Templates - Configure all ‘Performance’ related Email Correspondence templates related to Performance Reviews. These emails will be sent to Employees throughout their Performance Review. Talent Cubes (optional) - Set up Talent Cubes to identify Employees with specific attributes relating to question responses in the Performance Review and/or Rating Scales. Example: Include a ‘Potential’ field in the ‘Review Canvas’ and store Employees in a Talent Cube based on their ‘Potential’ (which has been recorded by their Manager). Ratings/Scores Formula - The ‘Performance Score’ is an overall ‘average’ based on each of the Categories below:

  • All Skills rated in the Performance Review ‘assessment’ Step:
    • Overall/Skills average used to create overall Performance Score.
  • All Values rated in the Performance Review ‘assessment’ Step:
    • Overall/Values average used to create overall Performance Score.
  • All Goals rated in the Performance Review ‘assessment’ Step:
    • Overall/Goals average used to create overall Performance Score.
  • All Behaviours rated in the Performance Review ‘assessment’ Step:
    • Overall/Behaviours average used to create overall Performance Score.
  • Per the above, the methodology used for calculating scoring in Subscribe-HR is to use an average applied to each Category (Skills, Values, Goals, Behaviours). These averages are then used to calculate a total/overall ‘Performance Review Score’ (which is the average of the averages of each of the Categories included/rated within the Performance Review Cycle (weightings are not applied).
  • Please note that only the Categories included for definition and assessment in the Performance Review will be used to calculate the overall Performance Review Score.
  • The Overall Performance Review Score is also calculated based on the ‘Scoring Method’ selected on the Performance Review/Cycle that is sent to Employees. The standard/default option is the ‘Average of Manager’ Scores (only).

The Final/Overall Score is displayed to two decimal places and is available/visible in the following locations (in addition to the ‘Advanced Reports’):

  • In the ‘Performance Score’ section of the ‘Talent Profile Widget’ (the Overall Performance Review Score will only appear here after the Review/Cycle has been completed by all participants. It will not appear here if/when the final date/full Review/Cycle timeframe (in months and days) has been completed.
  • This Performance Score also feeds into the Remuneration Modelling Tool.
  • The Performance Score is also available via the ‘View Review Report’ Action relating to an individual Employee’s Performance Review. The ‘View Review Report’ Action is available to Managers and People & Culture Users on their respective Dashboards (it is not available to Employees on their My Info Dashboard). If the Review is not yet complete, the Score shown in this report will not be final and is subject to change depending on later interaction with the Review.
