What's New in OrgPlus 2012

Welcome Panel

The new welcome panel is easier to get additional help and visualise rich information about your workforce when you return to the application.

• Changes visible in all versions of the product
• Added username to the title bar
• Added Recent Charts
• Consolidated items in the new boxes
  • Created Get Started box
  • Moved Import Data to Get Started box
  • Moved Sample Charts to Get Started box
  • Removed Resources box

Import Wizard*

The new import wizard has fewer steps and decisions, improved messaging, and additional help to quickly start visualising information important to your organisation.

• Less decisions and easier to get started
• The application begins with the import wizard instead of opening a network drive
• Quickly import the employee data with the option to exclude fields
• Quickly visualise the data in a chart
• Removed creating subcharts, insert orphans, sort boxes and applying templates from the import process. You now have the ability to do these things after the data is imported.
• Start from Hierarchy screen to Identify fields screen and then import is completed.

Planning**

Planning and modeling enables what-if scenarios to help make better decisions. A staging area was added to drag and drop boxes to plan organisational changes.

• Functional with the Track Changes feature
• "Park" boxes until you decide where you want to place them
• Move a whole branch or just individuals
• Hierarchy is maintained if a whole branch is moved

Track Changes**

The track changes feature was improved. Cutting and pasting a box in a new location is now tracked as a “move” operation to make the change reporting more accurate.

Box Layout

Box Properties now shows a real preview of what changes will look like before saving your changes

Field Inheritance

• Boxes can now inherit data from managers or peers
• Eliminates from having to enter the same data several times

Multi-Record Box with Sub-Charting

Customise Pre-Defined Reports

• User can copy the pre-defined reports
• Then edit the report to fit their needs
• Save the new report, leaving the pre-defined report intact, for later use
