2. Examples of Employee-related Data

Employee contact data is not auto-created in Workbench from your financial systems, giving you control over the data input into Workbench, and then synced across to upvise. It is recommended that you consider the data you want to store in upvise and available to your different users. Some examples of data that you may consider reviewing are:

  1. Emergency Contact Information

  2. Onboarding Details

  3. Training Records

  4. Assigned Assets (e.g., boots, laptops)

3. Utilizing Forms and Roles in Upvise

Using the method of forms to capture this data, you have the ability to hide this from unauthorised employees. Standard & Manager type users are only able to access forms that are included in their role. Standard users can only see forms that they have submitted. are able to restrict visibility using a combination of roles and user types from other employees.

For example, where standard user types can only access forms they have submitted, other standard users will not be able to see the data. The owner of a form is inherited by the user submitting the form.

4. Checking Upvise System Options & User Configuration

Upvise provides a number of options (setting) and user based configurations you can apply to help restrict access to contacts.

Contacts > Options > User Rights

  1. Data Shared by All Users

    1. When Data Shared by All Users is checked, all Contacts and Companies are accessible by all users, even Standard Users, who can otherwise only access the data they own.

    2. Disable this to prevent “Standard Users” from accessing contact & company data

  2. Standard Users can see other user's location

    1. Disable this to prevent Standard users from seeing other users location

Manage Users > Application Rights

Although “Data Shared by all users” will hide the contact module for standard users, you can in addition to this, remove the contact app from specified users. This may be used for Manager type users where the setting above does not apply.

Other applications can be hidden in this menu
