Position Preferences - Rate Employees for Positions/Locations
 
"Position Preferences" can be set for each Employee (similar to skills). This tells AutoFill which positions (locations) you prefer to have each Employee work. It can be helpful, for example, to indicate that an Employee can work a difficult position if needed but you prefer to have them work other positions.  It can also be useful in setting which locations the Employee prefers to work (Ex. for an Employee you can set all Location 1 positions to "prefer" and other location positions to "dislike.") Managers (with permission to edit Employees) can set these preferences - but you can also allow your Employees to set their own position preferences on the SETTINGS>Global Employee Permissions page.
 
To set Position Preferences for an Employee: 
From any page 
  • On the top menu hover over EMPLOYEES and choose Positions Grid 
  • Click the pencil icon  next to the employee name to open the Position Preferences window
  • Click any Position name once to change to Prefer (green) again to change to Dislike (red) and again to change back to no preference 
  • Click the Save Changes button
  •  

    Employees do not see position preferences unless you have set "Employees Can Set Their  Preferences for Positions" to Yes on your SETTINGS>Global Employee Permissions page. By choosing "Yes" you allow Employees to see and set their own preferences for locations or position preferences when they sign in. 

     
    To allow Employees to set their own Position Preferences 
    From any page 
  • On the top menu hover over SETTINGS and choose Global Employee Permissions
  • For "Employees Can set Preferences for Positions" Click Yes 
  • Click the Save Changes button
     
  • When Employees sign in and look at their Preferences page they will now see a list of their positions and will be able to set each position to prefer, dislike or no preference.
