Objective

To configure tags for people and projects in Workforce Planning.

Background

Tags are specific criteria that can be added to both people and projects in Workforce Planning. Tags can be filtered to help you organise and quickly find people and projects that match that criteria. 

Things to Consider

 Tip

Create tags for qualifications that people and projects need on a worksite, such as an OSHA certification or badging access. They are easy to see when scheduling and can be viewed when a QR code is scanned on a worksite.

Example: Tracking Certifications

  • Create a certification tag that employees must have on a worksite.
  • Configure the tag with expiration dates to track people's certifications so that they're always current.
  • Attach documents, like their certificate, to tag to maintain a record of the certification.

Example: Badging

  • Create the badging tag needed for a project (Airport, School District, etc.) and assign it to the project and to the people who are authorised to work on the project.
  • When filling requests for the project, filter your available people by the project's badging tag.
