How Can I Apply Security To Further Information Fields?
Further Information fields can be added to various areas of Ciphr People to store different types of information. This article demonstrates how these further information fields can be added to security field groups for the purpose of restricting access to certain information.
These instructions are only suitable for use by System Administrator users of Ciphr, with extensive knowledge of setting up security/user roles.

These instructions should only be followed by a user with an advanced level of knowledge of the Ciphr application, who has attended the System Manager training course.

Ciphr : What is a Paylink and how does it work?
There are usually two options for this to happen:
1. Produce a report that can be sent to payroll staff to manually enter the changes.
2. Use a Paylink module that transfers the changes that have recently occurred in to the payroll system.
We have several paylink modules and each one is created to fit a different payroll application. For all other payroll applications we have a Universal Paylink . Some Paylink modules will only send changes or newly inserted records to the payroll where as the Universal Paylink will send the entire record even if only one field has been amended.
Ciphr : The Manpower Indices Report – An explanation of the report’s content and calculations
The Manpower Indices report is a standard report within Ciphr People. By default, the report is located within the ‘Reports’ > ‘Manpower’ menu.
The report output is broken down into three distinct sections; Stability Index, Skill Conservation Index, Labour Wastage.
When a user runs the report, they should be prompted for a date. This user specified date is used in each of the three report sections, detailed below.
Ciphr : How can I use the same field twice in a Ciphr report to show different values (e.g. point in time and current)?
You may wish to include the same field more than once in one report, in order that different values can be reported on – one example would be wanting to show someone’s current department information alongside their department information as at a point in time.
