A personnel file is assigned to a person who is standing in an upright employment relationship with the company or will be or was in such an employment relationship.
Besides the possibility to enter metadata, documents can be stored in a personnel file. In a personnel file, an overview of all documents of the personnel file is displayed on top-level. The tree view can be used to navigate in the several personnel file folders.
Personnel files, personnel file folders and documents are filtered, if the user has no access rights.
To create a personnel file, perform the following steps:
More information about accessing personnel files as employee or supervisor can be found in chapter “Personnel File”.
Note: Personnel files can only be created if a Folder Structure for Personnel Files is defined in the personnel file configuration.
Personnel files can be imported and updated using a CSV file.
To import personnel files, perform the following steps:
The personnel files are stored in the personnel file shelf.

To view events, perform the following steps:
An overview of the recent events is displayed. The “Timeline” tab visualizes the time course; the “History” provides a textual overview. The other tabs represent different groupings.

For metadata of a personnel file and associated documents, a PDF overview can be generated. If a watermark is defined in the personnel file configuration or personnel file shelf, the watermark is added to the document.
To view the personnel file as PDF, perform the following steps:
The generated PDF document will be opened automatically.
Note: With the “View List of Contents” context menu command, you can generate a PDF overview without the document contents.
Personnel files with a defined separation date can be closed. When closing a personnel file also the assigned documents are closed. After closing, no further changes are possible. However, canceled documents can still be deleted.
For retention-worth documents, the retention period is calculated and applied on the basis of the retention rule defined in the category. The retention period cannot be shortened anymore.
To close a personnel file, perform the following steps:
The closed personnel file is stored in the “Closed Personnel File” field. The state “Closed” can be removed again using the “Advanced” > “Remove ‘Closed’ state” context menu command. This allows the personnel data to be changed again. The additional operations carried out during the closing, such as the closing of documents or the calculation of the retention period cannot be reversed.
Activity “Close File”
You also have the option to start a process for closing a personal file. To do this, execute the context menu command “Tools” > “Start New Process” on the personnel file and select the “Close File” entry in the “Prescribed Activity” field. The selected process participant has the possibility to close or not close the personnel file.
Personnel files can only be removed from the personnel file shelf with the “Cancel Personnel File” command.
To cancel a personnel file, perform the following steps:
The canceled personnel file is stored in the “Canceled Personnel File” field. Canceled personnel files can be restored using the “Advanced” > “Restore” context menu command. Users with “Full Control” can also delete personnel files permanently (“Delete” command and removing from the wastebasket), if no retention rules are violated.
Personnel files can be moved from one personnel file shelf to another. Depending on the settings of the current personnel file shelf a copy of the personnel file is kept in the current personnel file shelf.

If a document needs to be reviewed or renewed after a certain period of time, follow-ups are offered.
A follow-up can be defined manually via the context menu or the category that is assigned to the document already defines default follow-ups. For this purpose, in the category, in the Default Follow-Ups field a corresponding follow-up has to be assigned.
Sending the follow-up is based on the Time Interval and the Base Date. The base date may refer either to a date field of the document or to a date field of the assigned personnel file.
