The identification information that you just entered displays in the employee's record. Additional identifications can now be added. For each identification, click Add Identification and add the new identification. If any of the identification information needs to be changed, click Update This information beside the incorrect identification to edit it.

Add Contact Information

For each person in the system, whether an employee or a job applicant, four types of contact information may be added: personal, or home, contact; work contact; emergency contact; and other contact. Only one contact may be added for each type. Contact information may be added at any time after the record is created. All contact fields are optional.

1. In the employee's record, click Contact Information in the side menu to jump to the "Contact Information" section of the record.
2. Click the link for the type of contact information to add.
3. Enter the full Mailing Address.

Troubleshooting

The correct Add Contact link doesn't appear.

Make certain that contact information hasn't already been added. For example, if the Add Personal Contact link doesn't appear, check the "Contact Information" section of the employee's record for a "Personal Contact" section. You can then change the previously entered contact information.

Contact information that was previously entered needs to be changed.

In the employee's record under the "Contact Information" section, click Update This Information beside the type of contact information to change and edit any field.
