Set up system-level functionality with the Global Configuration form, which can enable or disable major features such as Onboarding and Benefits Enrollment. It also controls user home pages and some user security features. (For more information on these features, see the appropriate user guide.)

Enabling the Enhanced Dashboard

The Enhanced Dashboard provides quick access to company information and relevant features. (See Using the Enhanced Dashboard.)

To enable this dashboard:

1. Click (Back Office), then select Global Configuration on the System|Change menu.
2. In the Home Form field, enter HRPY.WORK_ENHANCED.DASH.
3. Click Save.

Note:  You can only view the Enhanced Dashboard if permissions allow you to view it. (See Defining User Roles for details on adding this menu to a user role.)

Setting Up System-level Functionality

To set up system-level functionality:

1. Complete these fields as required.
Field Name Description

Product Version

Select one of the following options:

Professional: Configures the system to provide services to clients.
Corporate: Configures the system for internal payroll and HR services (that is, for employees of your own organization).

Note the following:

A warning displays if you change the Product Version. Click OK to continue. (If you did not intend to change the Product Version, you can reset it to the original version.)
If you enabled the BLENDED-STAFFING custom feature code and need to change the Product Version from Corporate to Professional, you must disable this custom feature code and log out/in again to ensure the system applies the correct version update and the Corporate/Staffing Accounting option no longer displays on the Actions menu.

Home Form

Enter the default form that should display for Service Providers and Worksite Managers when they log in to the system. The default template IDs are HRPY.WORK_DASH for service providers and HRPY.WORK_WS.HOME for worksite managers.

Note: The system validates these form names to ensure that the entry exists and is active in HRP.USER.PROCESS. If you enter an invalid form name, such as a misspelled or "junk" name or disabled/inactive user process, an error message displays, "The entry for [Home Page, Service Provider] or [Home Page, Worksite Manager] is invalid." Click OK to continue.

Dashboard Access

Select this field to open the Dashboard Access form, where you can control the dashboard view for your clients. (See Controlling Dashboard Views for more information.)

Note the following:

This field only displays when HRPY.WORK_ENHANCED.DASH is set as the Home Form for worksite managers or worksite trusted advisors.
This field is only available for service providers.

Favorites Template

Set a pre-populated favorites menu for Service Providers, Worksite Managers, or Trusted Advisors.

Separate Print/Ship Functions

Select this option if your organization has separate processes for printing and shipping payroll advices and reports. On the Users form, under Account Management Roles, you can assign the Payroll Processor (Print/Mail) role.

Note: If you enable the Separate Print/Ship Functions option, you can select Do Not Allow Self-Services Clients to Print to enable the Print feature in self-service clients' payrolls. Once a payroll is finalized, it displays in the print/ship only payroll processors' queues.

Do Not Allow Self-Services Clients to Print

You can only select this option if you already selected Separate Print/Ship Functions. This enables self-service Worksite Managers to either Print or Finalize and Print payrolls from the Client Payroll form. Once a payroll is finalized, it displays in the queues of print/ship-only payroll processors.

Activate User Administration Security

Do not select this option unless you have already assigned the Service Provider User Administrator and Worksite User Administrator roles. This setting restricts user account access to service provider users with user administrator roles. If you select this option before assigning any roles, all users will be prevented from assigning the roles to user accounts!

Manager Only Views All SuperBatch Payrolls

Select this option if you want only the Payroll Manager users to see all SuperBatch payrolls. If selected, Payroll Processor users will only see their assigned payrolls and will not be able to use the SuperBatch Payroll Transfer functionality. For more information on these roles, see Defining User Roles.

Debug Printing

Select this option if you want to troubleshoot printing issues.

Client Change Behavior

This field determines what happens when you switch from one client to another. You can either choose to Stay on the Current Form or Return to the Dashboard.

When users select a different client, they stay on the current form. For example, if they are viewing Client Details and select a different client, they will see that client’s information in Client Details.

When users select a different client, regardless of the form they are on, they will be taken to the Dashboard for that client.

Enable SBEA Feature Set

When this field is selected and the user builds forms W-2 or 1099, the data is broken down by either Client Federal Entity (if SBEA features are enabled) or by employer (if SBEA features are not enabled). See the SBEA User Guide for more information.

Document Categories: Controls the display of assigned documents. You can create and manage your document categories in this form.
Manage Documents: You can edit, delete, download, and upload documents to EP in this form.

The Document Management system allows you to control the display of global, company, and employee documents in EP.

Do not allow sending mail to recipients who do not have access to the active company

Select this option to prevent sending a message to a user who does not have access to the active company.

Custom Background Color (Demo Accounts)
