Updating Personnel Profiles

IMPORTANT
It is important that only one profile is active at a time. Dates in the From and Through fields must not overlap across profiles.

Updates to attributes contained in the person’s profile require staffing consideration when choosing to either update the field, or create a new profile. When a change could affect future or past scheduling activity it is recommended that you create a new profile because dates contained in the Profile tab may affect scheduling days and outcomes.

Rule of thumb:

Clone or add a new profile with a new From date and end the old profile when...
- Attributes such as Rank, Can Act As, Specialties, or Groups have a future effective date.
- Legacy wage values stored in the Profile tab change, and historical data or accurate cost reports are desired.
- The Pay Information value changes and that value is required to feed another application.
Update the profile tab when the information does not affect scheduling or a disparate system.

Security permission settings control the ability to edit and create new profiles.
