Because your requirements will be different to our next client and because your data management needs continually change, Cascade’s HR module comes with our unique System Designer module included as standard.

System Designer ensures you always record data how you want it to be recorded by allowing any employee or applicant record screen to be edited or added to with unlimited fields, renaming of fields and screens, changes to field types and a whole range of powerful features. It even allows you to import data from MS Excel straight into a blank table and it will design the fields and populate them automatically. Upgrades are completely unaffected and you retain any changes you have made.

Edit Standard Screens

System Designer gives you the power to edit screens such as employee and applicant records. Simple drag and drop functionality means you can order and name fields as your users understand them easing data input and reducing errors.

The facility to change field types to suit your data input and rename the screen itself means that rather than adapt your preferred working practices Cascade adapts instead thus reducing administration, eliminating errors and ensuring reports make sense.

• change fields into other field types.
• change labels.
• change the layout.
• change the name of the screen.

Add Fields and Screens

It is unlikely that any system will meet your requirements as standard. It certainly wont meet your requirements a year after you implement it unless it has the ability to change.

Our System Designer feature ensures that your system evolves as your business and HR service change, keeping pace with changing requirements forever. The biggest benefit of all is that you can do this yourself. No extra cost or need to ask I.T.

All new fields are instantly available to reports and as Cascade is a single interface system (everyone uses the browser interface) then any changes can be rolled out to self service users simply by granting them access through security.

• add as many fields as you need.
• add as many screens as you need.
• multiple field types.
• instantly available to the rest of the system such as reporting and workflow.

Import Data and Add Screens Automatically

As usual, when we roll out new functionality our clients quickly tell us how to improve it. It quickly became apparent that a great deal of the time new screens were needed to accommodate data held in spreadsheets so we now provide a feature which allows our clients to add a new screen with a single click and then import a spreadsheet directly to that screen (for as many lines of data as required) and the System Designer will both create the relevant fields and also import the data.

As you would expect from Cascade, any new fields and data become instantly reportable and can be used in workflows, rolled out to self service and genrally used as a standard data screen.

• import unlimited lines of data.
• automatically builds screens and fields.
• instantly reportable.
• roll out to self service as required.
