Employee data Sync

Introduction

To synchronise data from Meridian into PowerForce, use the Synchronise Data form.

Getting There:

[ System Administration ] –> Synchronise Data

Overview

  1. Point the "File Name" to where you have exported the Meridian employee data. Please ensure that the export format corresponds to the standard format.
  2. Select the correct data upload (Employee in this case).
  3. Press the Import button

Import the employee list file

The first entry in your export file is likely to be a header created by your export program. Therefore, change the "Start import at row" to 2, other wise you will get an unnecessary error message pointing to your header line.

Review the resulting report

The synch process will create a .pdf file with details of what succeeded and what did not, as well as details of what errors (if any) were found in the sync.

Verifying that the data came through

One of the more recent updates to the sync process is the loading of employee work teams - using the Employee Specification screen, quickly check that data has come through.
