Advanced - Setup

CGI Advantage HRM allows you to tailor your system to meet your Human Resource needs and reporting requirements. Review of the various options and controls available is part of the configuration of any application before going live. 'What functionality will be used and how, should be decided before the data conversion begins and especially before system users begin entering data into transactions. It is strongly recommended that you do not change many options or controls in the middle of a fiscal year. Some of them should never be changed after going live. If changed, the integrity of your Human Resource records might be jeopardized. This user's guide details what options can be changed any time, only for a new fiscal year, or never.
