Overwrite person fields
| ChartHop recommends using this setting to avoid needing to update both ChartHop and your payroll system when a change is made to any field value that is synced from your payroll system. When you choose this option, your payroll system remains the source of truth for the following fields in ChartHop: birthdate, gender, home address, and so on. Any edits you or an employee make to this data in ChartHop are overwritten during synchronization. This can pose an issue when someone uses ChartHop to update employee fields in ChartHop, without requesting an update in the source system. |
Historical data | Choose whether or not you want to sync historical data. You can turn this off if you want to exclude any historical changes before the date of your initial sync. |
Exclude IDs | To exclude specific individuals from the sync, enter their unique payroll system IDs here, separated by commas. Generally, the company ID should be left blank unless otherwise informed by your ChartHop Customer Success team. |
Job change history | When importing job data into ChartHop, include changes within the specified period. |
