The features of winHR are endless. We aim to describe many of the features that you may find useful.

Screens are grouped into logical areas. In winHR there is a place to store any number of items including but not limited to the following:

• Biographical master details such as personal details, unlimited address and phone types, email addresses, classifications, hired and termination details, marital and children details, residency, visa, passport details, unlimitd emergency items, considerations, medical information including allergies, inoculations and much more.
• Medical history.
• Leave management (integrated with your payroll)
• Education and training details, both internal & external, tracking of achievements and costs.
• Employment history, both within the organisation and external to.
• Performance-based items, flexibility in storing & reporting on all types including reviews, verbal & written-warnings, customer commendations and so on.
• Membership recording including magazines, unions, industry associations. Keep track of costs and expiry.
• Skillsets, ties in with positions for tracking of skill gap analysis and succession planning.
• Property management includes tracking of items distributed to employees such as keys, security cards, mobiles and notebooks to name a few.
• Remuneration items that make up an employee's salary. Includes the ability to keep historical items and reporting of 'what if' scenarios.
• Organisation reporting structure flexibility. Set winHR to directly map your organisation reporting structure and then use that to report at any level.
• Organisation chart can be directly printed from within the product according to your position hierarchy structure. Track position history and incumbents within that.
  

You have the ability to store any number of contacts and businesses you may have dealings with in context of your human resource function. Personal information and address and phone details can be kept and emails sent and historically stored straight from the contacts database .

A sophisticated email alert facility is available. Various options are available from automatically having emails sent based on date or data-change triggers, to manually sending emails based on user-defined templates. This provides a very powerful process mechanism that saves time and prevents items being overlooked.

There is not one but three reporting tools built right in to winHR.

• ReportViewer hides the complexities behind writing custom reports. The single screen display for running and customising reports makes it very easy to use. There are a suite of standard reports available and many options within making a combination of thousands for pre-defined reports.
• ReportBuilder is an award-winning reporting tool that provides that extra level of sophistication which enables you to produce almost any report you can think of. It supports mail merges and cross-tab reports (amongst other features).
• GraphViewer is a graphing tool. It's look and feel is very similar to ReportViewer and allows you to create graphs quickly and easily using the options available. For custom requirements there are many, many options available to you if you need them. The same graphing tool can also be used in ReportBuilder to combine reports and graphs together.

All reporting tools have extensive exporting options and include PDF, Excel, HTML, text and more.

Navigating between employees using grids is a standard feature you would expect out of most HR products. However, the smart grids featured in winHR are much more than that. Some features include the ability to:

• sort by any column or multiple columns by clicking on the column header
• move and resize columns at will
• include or exclude from your view any columns you wish and then save that view for your own use only next time you login (security login)
• filter information by clicking on the column and choosing criteria
• group and summarise information within the grid
• print, export (to Excel, HTML, text) or copy to clipboard the contents of the grid
  

All customising options are available for the end-user to implement themselves. Some features that help you achieve this are as follows:

• table-driven fields allow you to define the list of items to be displayed in a drop-down field.
• renaming of fields means you can use industry-specific words to describe fields for entry. Renaming these fields flows through to all aspects of the winHR including reports
• Colouring of grids, disabled fields and so on can be changed to suit your preference.
• Output formats can be defined at a global, report or user level if you wish, so that for example, reports written specifically for another country will show dates and so on in the appropriate format.
  

Security options are very important, especially in an HRIS solution where much relies on the reporting and organisation structures. winHR has excellent security options that allow you to provide security at user or user group level. Manager-serve, for example, will only allow a manager to see their own staff, and you can also specify what type of employee information can be seen. Self-serve only allows a user to see parts of their own information.

When working with winHR there are many things that may happen automatically. These happen generally to make your life easier and also to prevent mistakes happening due to neglect or incorrect entry. Some examples of processes are:

• When an employee is terminated, it will also place a finish date in the incumbent's position entry. This date can be a future date and the employee will be considered a current employee in headcounts and so on until this date rolls over.
• When creating an employee you can have winHR automatically query you for a position that the employee belongs to, or it may create an induction entry in the training area
• Entering a facilitator's name whilst creating a training entry will also automatically add in the person's company name saving typing requirements.
  
  

Favour chooses entry components carefully. We focus on choosing items that make it easy for the user to enter information. For this reason, we make use of auto-entry features and smart date fields and table dropdown items.

Another powerful feature enables you to attach documents to any record within winHR. This allows you to drill-down to say a training entry and then quickly view a document or a scanned image representing the course certificate simply by pressing a button from winHR. You can also scan any anything using your scanning device or digital camera right from winHR.
