ASSISTANT VICE CHANCELLOR - ADMINISTRATIVE COMPUTING & TELECOMMUNICATIONS November 13, 1998 KEY ADMINISTRATORS / KEY SUPPORT STAFF SUBJECT: EmployeeLink 2.0: http://employeelink.ucsd.edu We are pleased to announce a new release of the EmployeeLink facility, primarily affecting Employee Reporting. This new 2.0 version will become available on Monday, November 16, 1998 at http://employeelink.ucsd.edu on the Web. A presentation of these enhancements will be given at the DCTUG meeting on Wednesday, November 18, from 2-4 p.m. in room 111A University Center. Since EmployeeLink 1.0 was released in May 1998, we have been continuously reviewing input from the campus community regarding this facility and have been looking for ways to improve its content, functionality, usability, and accessibility. Following are the most important enhancements contained in the new release: * A new Home Page that is similar to the one used by FinancialLink. It includes direct links to frequently used reports and to pertinent policy documents and functional office Web pages. * A new General Selection facility which makes selecting current employee population sets for reporting easier and more flexible. Existing and more specific queries will continue to be used for selecting sets of historical information and for special current employee selections that cannot be accomplished using General Selection. * Access control for current population reporting has been widened to reflect the needs expressed by EmployeeLink users. This means that all but specifically identified sensitive data (e.g., ethnicity, gender, age, SSN, home addresses) will be viewable by those who have PPS Online access. Access to the sensitive data and to historical data will be limited to records of those employees who have had some association with a department contained in the accessor’s PPS departmental access profile. * A redesigned Output Selection feature similar to that supported within FinancialLink has been added. Selected population lists will be automatically displayed in an abbreviated roster format, after which other output formats may be chosen to display the same data. * Back-Arrow navigation within Employee History reporting has been enhanced to support the ability to return to multiple different levels within the selection/employee/action drill-down structure. * A new “Confidential Information Roster” report has been developed for those requiring Gender/Ethnicity/Age information. Access to these secured elements will be available on the same departmental/association basis described above. * Help information for the entire Employee Reporting facility has been expanded.
