Classification Tab

The Classifications Tab was previously the Employee Type Screen in VetView 4.1 and earlier.

Employee Classifications feed into the Classification field on the User Details tab on the main User Account & Employee Record screen.

This screen does not have a direct impact of the functionality of VetView, but is useful for certain accounting and HR reports, and allows you to categorize your employees based on their internal organization classifications levels at a more granular level.

Add Employee Classification

To add a new Employee Classification, click on the Add button.

Add Employee Classificications

The Add/Edit Employee Type window will open. The first field is how the name will be stored in the database. You can also add a description with additional details. In this example, “camper” is being added as a new type, and the description includes additional details regarding the type.

Add/Edit Employee Type (Classifications)

Edit Employee Classification

To change the Employee Classification’s name or description, select a row and click on the Edit button. The Add/Edit window will open again so that you can make additional changes.

Changes are applied in real time to any employees who have the linked type.

If an Employee Classification is no longer going to be assigned to new users but is required for historical data on existing users, you can keep it in the system but set it as Inactive to prevent it from being applied to new accounts.

Delete Employee Classification

If an employee type will no longer be used, you can delete it completely from the system.

In this example, the “campers” will be given a clean version of VetView with no real data, and so the employee type can be deleted from the system.

 

Since it is not a required field for Employee Setup, it can be safely removed from all user accounts once it is deleted.

Merge Employee Classification

If two employee classifications are going to be consolidated, you can Merge them directly in the system.

Any users who have the second Employee Classification will have it automatically changed over to the first one, and the second one will be deleted from the system.
