How to change information on an employee's card

If you are not happy with the details you have set up, the administrator can easily adjust them. You can add, edit or delete employee information. You can change all fields unless they are marked with a lock. The system needs such fields, and you cannot change them.

How to change any information on an employee's card

For example, if you are uncomfortable with the name of a detail and need to adapt it to your company's practices, you can change it. As an administrator, you see a pencil icon next to the detail name. When you click on it, a window for editing will open. In it, you make the desired changes then you need to save it. You can change all the values that the system offers and allows you in the window. Most often:

• Detail name
• The help text for the detail
• The format of the detail (note if you change the format, the values already entered will be lost)

How to create a new detail in the employee card

If none of the offered details are sufficient for you, you can add your own. Scroll all the way down the page, to the last detail, and click on the blue plus icon. A window will then open where you can define your new detail:

1. Choose the appropriate format
2. In the User Help field, you can enter help for filling in the detail, which will be displayed to users when they click on the question mark icon next to the detail name
3. You can also assign a detail to a detail group or create a new detail group using the blue plus icon next to the group menu (displayed by hovering over the group selection box). For more details see working with groups. One of their main advantages is that they can only be assigned to certain "categories" of items in a given record, which means that you can set up different details for different categories, for example, in the asset record you can record different information for computers, work phones or even cars
4. Save

 How to remove a detail in an employee's card

If editing a detail is not enough and you don't need the detail and want to get rid of it, you can easily remove it. Think carefully before doing so, if you remove a detail that is filled with information and data in your records, that data will be irretrievably lost at the same time as the detail is removed. This is similar to deleting an entire column in an Excel spreadsheet, including all the data. If you delete a detail that has no data in it, nothing happens. 

Note that this step is irreversible, so if a detail is removed, it cannot be reactivated, and all previously entered values will be lost:

1. Click on the edit pencil
2. Click on "Delete" in the upper right corner
3. Confirm the deletion

How to change the order of details on the employee card
