iHRIS:Documentation
These help documents are intended for the end users of iHRIS Manage, Qualify and Plan. We have provided step-by-step instructions for completing each action in iHRIS, corresponding with the menu and other options presented after connecting to the system. Following many subsections is a "Troubleshooting" section for solving common problems encountered while working with the system.
If you have any suggestions or questions, or if you have an issue that the user's manual does not address, we encourage you to send us feedback. Click the Feedback button in the top navigation bar of any screen of iHRIS and complete the form that opens, or contact us directly (see the bottom of this page for contact information).
Please note that these help documents are currently being updated for the new release version of iHRIS (as of June 2009).
