Importing employees

Notes on the import

•No updating of data is possible.

Changes will not be adopted during reimport when a Prinect Business Manager employee data record has already been imported into MDS.

•Employees created manually in Prinect Cockpit are preserved in case of an import.

•Provided that MDS already contains an employee with the same Employee ID as in Prinect Busi­ness Manager, the data in MDS will not be overwritten.

•Employees in Prinect Business Manager are assigned to a department with a "DepartmentID" ranging from 0 to 9. These departments are called, for example, "Prepress", "Printing" or "Fini­shing".

There is no such structure in Prinect Cockpit. Here, users are part of a user group. For example "PrePressOperator", "PressOperator" or "PostPressOperator". When employee data records are imported, a user group is automatically assigned to each "DepartmentID".

Assignment is freely configurable in the Prinect Business Manager.

The following table shows you which user group in the Prinect Cockpit is assigned by default to which "DepartmentID" from the Prinect Business Manager.

The data records are still used even if a user group is not assigned to a DepartmentID. You can set up the user group at a later period.

Procedure

1.In Prinect Cockpit, go to "Administration > System".

2.Click the Prinect server in the left column.

3.Scroll to "Business Manager Connector Service" (1) on the right side.

4.Click "Details" (2).

The "Configuration Status" window opens in the Internet browser.

5.Go to "Synchronization > From Business Manager > Employees".

The list displays all employees set up in Prinect Business Manager.

6.Click "Sync".

The employee data records are imported automatically. Import is finished as soon as the "Yes" attribute appears in the "isSynced" column.

Employee data records with "No" as the attribute were not imported into the MDS. One reason could be that the "EmployeeID" is already present in the MDS.
