Security & Access Management

Employee

Personal tab

Add/Delete Users

Entering an Ends Date on the Employee Form's Personal tab now automatically removes the Login access for that terminated Employee. by deleting the record of that Employee's User Name in the Add/Delete Users Form.

To reinstate an Employee who previously had an Ends Date entered, you must re-enter the Employee's User Name and Password in Add/Delete Users.

Correction: An earlier release of this version displayed an Error Message (which has since been corrected) if the Employee Ends Date field was populated.

 

Hide Old Employees? - At the top of the Employee Form is this new question and a Check box.

Every Employee ID that has been used as part of a Transaction  or Process cannot be removed from the database.

Why?

oBecause that Employee ID becomes part of the internal "History" of the Transaction or Process.

oSo, once an Employee leaves the Company, rather than deleting that Employee's record, she/he is assigned an Ends Date - indicating that she/he is now an Old Employee (not an Active Employee).

Therefore:

oWhile viewing the Employee Form, to only view Active Employee records (those Employees who have not been assigned an Ends Date ), Check this Hide Old Employees? box.

oOr, if you are researching information relating to an Old (departed) Employee, be sure that the Hide Old Employees? box is not Checked.
