People Area

The ability to have access to this screen and the ability to change information is limited by your system Authority. Most of these fields are disabled, and highly dependent on system configuration and user authority. Generally, only a few fields may be accessible for users to maintain. For example, most employees can only edit contact method fields; or view all or some of the remaining fields. Some staffing administrator may also have limited ability to change profiles or assignments, or have full access to profiles but not assignments or vice versa. Those with enough security clearance will be able to access more fields or the entire area.

Important
The People area contains a list of employees in this application. The People page initially displays all people with active records and active profiles. Only active people appear by default for the target date. If a person does not have an active profile on the focus date of the People page then that person is excluded from the list. Accessing a person in this application can be done by changing the focal date of the People page or using the Show All but Inactive function inside the gear icon.
