ATLAS Salary Planner Assistant - Adding a Department Administrator

A tutorial on how to add a department administrator to a department in the Salary Planner Assistant application.

Department administrators have the ability to modify the merit increase and CMER funds/type of all employees of a specific department's salary plan, as long as the planning period of the salary plan, and the employees themselves are unlocked.

Department administrators can also run template salary letters for a department, export its salary plan's data to an Excel file, and lock the department against further changes within a planning period, though only higher levels of administrators will be able to unlock the department again.

Departments will retain the same set of department administrators between planning periods.

To add a new department administrator...


Step 1 - From the Salary Group Admin Home, select the View Period button next to any available planning period.

The "Planning Periods" page of Salary Planner Assistant. A planning period's "View Period" button is highlighted.

Step 2 - On the selected period's page, locate the department to which you want to add an administrator, and click on the empty text box within the Administrators column of the department.

Step 3 - After typing the NetID of the person you wish to add, confirm that the name that appears is correct, and click the plus-shaped button (+) to the right of the text box when you are finished.

The Administrators column of a department on an individual planning period's page. The NetID of a user has been entered into the column's text field, and the "plus" button is highlighted.

The user will be added as a department administrator, and will display in the Administrators column for that department within all planning periods that contain it.
