Adding a new person to the system

New personnel can be added to ACMS via the Personnel option on the dropdown menu by going to Personnel Admin, selecting 'Add' and using the different tabs to enter the relevant information. 

Useful things to note:

• Date Ended Service: when adding a new candidate this can be left blank.  This field is used to retire candidates from the system.
• Validate for Safety Critical: when this button is pressed, more fields will become mandatory as indicated with a red asterisk. 
• Duties: this dictates what a person can do on the system
  • Candidate: can be assessed (must be enabled to make candidate visible on personnel)
  • Assessor: can complete assessments
  • Investigator: can perform investigations
• User status: allows a person to log in 
• Security group: dictates who the person can see on the system and what they can do.  Control the range of people that the user can see by organisational structure. So, a user can be restricted to see just themselves, only people in their depot, only people in their region, or they can be allowed to see everyone.  Also control the range of functions available to the user. It restricts the pages, buttons, and menu items (called user stories) that are available.  The security group options tend to have two parts e.g. company-admin
  • First part: what they can see e.g. depot - manager can only see people in a particular depot
  • Second part: what they can do e.g. depot - control can only read certain things whereas depot - manager has more capabilities such as adding new people and doing assessments
• Username: We normally suggest that the username is set to the first string of the user’s work email address, as the username must be unique e.g. alice.barrett@assesstech.com - alice.barrett. As of 5.2.3 we are able to enable email address login so that users can either login using their username or email address.
• User role group: Control which people are visible on the system by adding restrictions on a per role basis. So, a user might only be allowed to see guards, or perhaps some combination of different roles.  It's possible to set up user role groups so that assigned users can see candidates who have active/inactive personnel and role records. For example, a dispatch-only user role group could be set up so assigned users can only see active dispatchers.

Adding a role to a candidate

Roles

Roles can be added to the system to allow people with different duties to be handled by the system in different ways.

Retiring a candidate

The easiest way to retire a candidate is by using the leaving wizard. The wizard is designed to simplify the process of retiring a person in ACMS by taking a user through a series of steps to ensure that the candidate is removed from all aspects of the system.

A role can also be retired by adding a leaving date in the Role admin. 

Did you know?

If a retired role needs to be reactivated, all you need to do is delete the leaving date in the Role admin. 

Teams

Teams on ACMS are used to reduce visual clutter as you can see just the people that you are interested in. Teams are not used for security reasons.

These are used on both ACMS and aAssess to reduce the information that is presented to the user. Reports can also be run with respect to teams for planning and assessment statistics.

Candidates are removed and added from Teams either through the Teams admin by company admins or through the Candidate Dashboard by managers.
