IRIS - Categories

 

Figure 8 - Staff categories

 

The Staff categories feature is an IRIS standard category for grouping your staffing levels for IRIS reports. They are not meant to be used for staff permissions.

We use them for grouping people together to show the results in graphs in the time statement tab and to summarise the time spent on delivering client work in the resourcing Dashboard.

To create them in IRIS you need to go to the Time Ledger, click File at the top left of the screen, go to Categories and select Staff Categories and this window will open.

Click new to create each staffing level and go to Figure 5 to know how to link each person to these staffing categories.
