Fill Employee Hierarchy Process
Use the Fill Employee Hierarchy process to create a direct mapping between the defined position hierarchies and the employees holding positions in each hierarchy. When you run this process, it checks each position hierarchy and updates each employee, his supervisor, the level of supervision (a direct supervisor is level 1), the employee's position, and the supervisor's position.
The process creates an error log which lists all positions to which no employee is assigned, but having such positions is a benign error that does not hamper system operation.
If you do not use hierarchical security for any of your documents and do not use position hierarchies for your approvals, you do not need to run this process. Otherwise, you must run this process before any of the following changes can take effect:
- add or delete an employee
- change an employee name or an employee position. See: Enter Person.
To run the Fill Employee Hierarchy process:
1. Navigate to the Submit Requests window.
2. Select Requests in the first field.
3. Select Fill Employee Hierarchy in the Name field.
4. Save your work to begin the process.
