Editing and Assigning Roles

  1. On the lower portion of the Role Setup screen you can see a list of the roles that are in progress/have been completed by your team and key progress and setup data. Depending on your account settings and the number of roles you ‘own’ you may have numerous options for each role within your team.

Importing Roles

  1. Shadow allows you to import role data of various maturities, including Role Scalars, Role Performance Statements (RPS) and Formal Training Statements (FTS) using downloadable templates to format the data correctly prior to import. Shadow utilises a comma separated variable (CSV) file format to facilitate the import process from a range of source documentation, and uses advanced error checking processes to ensure that data is coherent prior to import.

  2. Import Data: Click on the “Import Data” button to import role-related data such as a Role Scalar, RPS, or FTS.

Creating a New Role

  1. There are two methods that Roles can be created from scratch, the first is using the Create Role button and the second is Create Role (SIFT).
  2. Using SIFT firstly requires the permissions to be turned on in the Admin page, if your team has access to SIFT you will see the Create Role (SIFT) button in the Role Setup Page.
  3. When you click on the generate button using SIFT, Shadow is analysing all of your documents to understand the requirements of the role.
  4. To make use of SIFT, you must have the relevant documents uploaded to the database so that Shadow is able to access them and interrogate them.
  5. Be aware that for this function to operate effectively, the data provided to SIFT must be of a sufficient standard.
  6. If you want more information on SIFT, please contact the Agilexe Technologies team.
