Employee Profile

There are three ways to change table data. You can edit a current data line, delete a data line, or add another data line to your table. To change data in a table, go to the desired table on an employee's profile. For this example, we are using the Compensation table located on the Job tab.

Edit

To edit an existing data line, hover over the one you would like to edit, and then click on the pencil icon to make the applicable changes. Make sure you select This is a correction (historical tables only) to replace the current line instead of adding a new one. After you have completed editing, click OK.

Update

Updating a table will add a new data line to the table. Click + Add Entry, fill in the applicable information, and click OK. The new data line will add to the table.

Delete

Hover over an existing data line that you would like to delete, click on the trash can icon, and confirm the deletion* by clicking Yes.  

*Note that deleting a data line is permanent and irreversible.
