Person Profiles Tab

The Profile tab identifies what the employee can do; and contains their attributes such as job title, pay information, skill sets, and acting capabilities.

About employee profiles...

A profile is not an assignment.
A person may have multiple profiles, but only one profile may be active at a time.
Staffing rules and filter queries return the active profile for the given date.
Profile graphics have two statuses. A green background indicates an active profile. A gray background indicates an inactive profile.
Security permission settings in Setup control the ability to edit and create new profiles.

Application Enhancement
As of application version 7.0 the person profile tab became job centric. Skills and certifications; and wage information were added outside the Profile tab. Doing so allows this information to be associated with the person rather than a specific profile. Note: Legacy specialty and wage fields remain in the Profile tab with no change in functionality.

Dimensions Profiles

Customers using Dimensions must apply the product license that will be integrating with Dimensions.

For example, a TeleStaff license indicates a TeleStaff Dimensions integration, and a Planner license indicates a Planner Dimensions integration. In addition to the matching profile data mapped between both applications you must identify and provide the product license for each employee in the Dimensions People Editor in order to sync personnel scheduling activity.

The Dimensions primary job populates the profile in this application according to the effective date. Modifications made to the person’s profile in this application, meaning outside of Dimensions, are retained in this application - except for the Opportunity# which is the Seniority# in Dimensions, or any field that is shared between the two applications. When the same field exists in both applications, the field in Dimensions will override data in this application.
