Employee Mandatory Field Selection

This new system-wide enhancement further extends the ability for those with the appropriate access privileges to determine which Employee fields are designated as mandatory during the creating/updating of Employee records. The fields that can optionally be assigned as mandatory have been extended from those in Timegate Web v21.1 (See Employee Mandatory Field Selection) to a wider set.

By default, these fields are optional. They are made mandatory by selecting them in the Admin | General | Employee Settings | Employee Mandatory Fields page. This page is shown below:

If you choose an item to be mandatory, an asterisk (*) shows next to its label on the screen within the Employee record. When creating/updating Employee records, validation of the mandatory fields takes place. If data isn't entered, the system shows a red asterisk (*) and the error message “ complete all mandatory fields."

This change adds the facility to remove optionality from the following fields within an Employee record:

• Employee | General: First Name, Address 1 (first line), Post Code, Date Of Birth, Gender, PPS/NI Number (The label for this field inTimegate Web has been changed to cover both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland), Full / Part Time, Next of Kin, Emergency Contact

• Employee | HR: Nationality

• Employee | Pay Details: Pay Code
