Anatomy of the Positions Module Information Pages


Once users leave the Positions List, each of the other pages in the Positions Module is organized into 3 basic areas - a Status header, a Navigation bar, and a content area. Users can think of these screens as a way to catalog different kinds of information about an employee.



Status Header


The Status Header provides the employee name and basic positional information, so users can always know whose record is currently in view. Users can also click on the  icon to easily access or edit any notes about the position.

Additionally, the navigation buttons  allow users to move to the First, Previous, Next, or Last named position in currently selected Position list. Sorting criteria is established at the main Position List screen. A drop-down list is also available to allow users to quickly find a new employee. Simply click the down arrow to expand a list of all available employees, and scroll up or down to find the next employee whose information you would like to view.



Navigation Bar


The Navigation bar offers easy access to each of the content pages within the positions module. Users can navigate to any of these pages simply by scrolling their mouse over a page title and clicking.


Note: Depending on your Beacon HR user profile and job requirements, you might not have access to all of the different information content areas.


The final option on the navigation bar,  will return you to the Position List page.


Content Area


The content area of the screens contains essential information as determined by which page you have selected from the Navigation Bar. EDie displays information from the "modifiable" data set, so any of the fields may be updated by users with the appropriate level of access.


Note: After making changes, it is important that you click the Save Modifications button; otherwise, your updates will not be saved.


If any discrepancy exists between an employee's record and the official source of a record an OFFICIAL COMPARE button will appear in the content area of the screen. Clicking this button will generate a list of discrepancies between the official source of the current record and Beacon HR data for this employee.
