Create a scenario
ChartHop gives you the ability to create different types of scenarios for the changes you’re proposing to your organization.
Any employee can create a scenario and edit scenarios shared with them. The data they see is governed by their access role. For example, if someone has the Employee role and is a manager they will be able to see the compensation for their direct reports. If they do not have a role that allows them to see compensation, no compensation data is shown.
Keep in mind that a scenario is private to the user who creates it until they share it.
To create a scenario:
- From the left sidebar, select Planning.
- Select Create Scenario.
- Select the type of scenario you want to create:
- Simple Workflows - Simple workflows are guided workflows for a change to a singular person or job.
- Create Job - Create a new job Data Required: Manager, Title
