Provide the ability for managers to attach documents for an individual user in the portal.

It would be useful to have the ability for managers to be able to load documents to an individual within the portal. For example, if a manager generates a letter for the employee, such as smart goals or an incentive compensation plan and needs to give this to the employee, there is no place to currently store this within the portal for an employee to view. It would also be nice for the employee to be able to sign off on the document showing that they received the document.

    Hi Shirley,

    Is that more for training/skills? We do have this available today in the Training module and Employee's Training History.

    Thanks!

    Hi Mark,

    I'd like to be able to upload docs like certificates of completion to an individual employee's doc library.


    Thanks,

    Shirley

    Hi Mark,

    The more options for functionality the better, so being able to allow more than managers to load to the employees performance related documents would be great (Example: Maybe managers can by default, otherwise an approval permission needs to be set). For your second question, for our case we are looking to attach "performance" documents, but if there was functionality built in to load other kinds of documents that would be useful. Having an option to include an Attachment Type to the documents may be useful as this is how you could potentially separate "Performance" documents from a different type. If this was all stored in some sort of "Document Library" where you could filter by Document Type that would be great.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks,

    Peter

    Hi Team,

    Would you only want to allow managers to attach performance related documents?

    Would you want to allow any other kinds of documents to be attached to the employee record?

    Would these documents need to have Attachment Types assigned to them?

    Thanks!

    Fantastic idea. I was literally just chatting with an agent about this missing functionality!

    Mark,

    In our case, it would be great if the documents could live within the employee tools > performance section as the documents we are looking to load have to do with performance. Currently in the performance section you only have the ability to generate new performance reviews though. I'm thinking it would be nice to have a section in the My Performance tab (or another tab) titled Performance Documents. This is where managers could load pdfs for their employees to view.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thanks!

    Hi Mark,


    Ideally they would be added to their employee record in Vista as well.


    Thanks,

    Hi Peter,

    Is the need mainly about communicating with the employee or do you also need these attachments added to their employee record in Vista?

    Thanks!
