Adding resources

To manually add a new resource and resource information without an approval process, you can add resources.

You can add resources during the hiring process of Talent Acquisition.

For more information, see the Infor HR Talent Talent Acquisition User Guide.

  1. Select Administrator > Resources > Resources.
  2. On the Resource Search tab, click Create.
  3. Specify this information:

    On the At A Glance tab:

    Employment ID

    If the organization does not use automated employment ID numbering, an employment ID is required.

    If the organization uses auto-numbering, leave this field blank.

    Personal Information

    Specify personal information about the resource.

    Home Country

    Select the resource's home country if it is different from the organization. This field can be important for geographic differential salaries and country-specific attributes.

    Relationship to Organization

    Required. Select the resource's relationship to the organization.

    Relationship Status

    Required. Select the resource's relationship status.

    Legacy Employment Number

    If a new employment ID is being assigned to an existing employee, (for example if your company has acquired another company and wants to merge the other company's employees with its own), specify the old employment ID.

    Work Type

    Select the resource's work type.

    Working Remotely

    Select this check box if a resource will be working remotely (for example, working from a home office rather than in the company office).

    Wait For Credential Before Interfacing To WFM
    Select this check box if the WFM interface should wait for a credential value (actor or identity depending on the interface setup) to be created before sending the resource record to Infor Workforce Management. If this check box is not selected, the record is sent through the interface immediately. This field defaults to the value specified during the interface setup.
    Note: 

    This field is only displayed if the Workforce Management check box is selected during the interface setup. For more information, see the Infor HR Talent Integrations Library.

  4. Click Save.

    If the organization uses auto-numbering, the resource is assigned a number. Other tabs then become available to add information.

    Some of this information can also be updated by the resource itself in the Employee view or by the resource's manager in the Manager view.

  6. Define or update the resource's work assignment or assignments.

    The work assignment determines the resource's pay and position in the organization and manager structures.
