HR-BAIRS Workforce Admin Detail Report Training

HR BAIRS reports provide access to multiple employee records at one time rather than looking up individual records in HCM. HR-BAIRS reports can be useful for validating chartstrings, managing appointment end dates, and managing future dated transactions. Additionally, the Employee and Distribution Views offered in reporting allow the user to see employee data across organizational boundaries for those employees in the user's Org Node access.

The course provides hands-on practice using reports, views, dashboard selection, and sort orders to answer business questions effectively. Refer to the UCB Learning Center for session dates and times.

Please note: Attendees must have a valid BAIRS User ID and HR Workforce Admin Detail role to participate in this course. Request access at: https://sara.berkeley.edu/users/logon/logon.cfm.
