This option will not be available permanently This article will take you through the key configuration options for the HR Advanced package. ### **Company Docs** Company Documents are documents or files that are related to the company and can be shared by all employees or at a team level. A Company Document can be a file, link or note that you wish to make available to multiple employees. You can read more about Company Docs and Acknowledgements in the following articles: [Company Docs](/hr/docs/company-documents-acknowledgements) and [Company Document Acknowledgements](/hr/docs/company-documents-acknowledgements). ### **Profile** Employee information is held within the Profile area. Within Profile, you will see the high level areas of Personal, Employment, Performance, Learning and Assets. Within each process area, you will see categories and fields - this is where you can input employee information. You can customise these categories and fields so that the data you store about your employees is displayed in the way you would like. Additionally, you can choose what level of access Employees & Team Managers have to each of these fields. You can read more about the customisation options within the Profile in the following articles: [Categories & Fields](/hr/docs/categories-fields) and [Making changes to Categories & Fields](/hr/docs/making-changes-to-categories-fields). ### **Clock in / out** The Clock in / out module allows employees to mark when they have started and finished working, as well as track when they've taken breaks. Clock in and out times are then automatically added into Timesheets. You can read more about the Clock in / out options in the following article: [Timesheets](/hr/docs/time-timesheets). ### **Location** Location is where employees can plan and mark where they are working from. You can set up different Office Locations and Zones within these, as well as set capacities in any of these areas for further location management. You can read more about Location Planning and Capacity Management in the following articles: [Office Locations](/hr/docs/office-locations) and [Location Recording](/hr/docs/location-recording). ### **Newsfeed** The Newsfeed in Cintra People HR allows you to share posts about your organisation with your employees. This could be for company wide announcements, social events or customer feedback, for example. To find out more, see [Newsfeed](/hr/docs/newsfeed). ### **Onboarding** The Onboarding Portal allows you to send information and request details from your new starters before their first day.

You can save report templates so that you can run them on a regular basis without having to recreate them each time. Saved reports can also be set up to automatically generate on a weekly or monthly basis. To find out more, see [HR Reporting](/hr/docs/hr-reporting). **HR Notifications** allow you to be informed when a change occurs on an Employee Profile. You can choose whether the notification goes to users with certain roles or specific employees. Notifications can either be triggered when a Profile is updated - either information is added or changed - or relative to a date occurring, e.g. 1 month before Right to Work Expiry Date. To find out more, see [HR Notifications](/hr/docs/hr-notifications). ### **Reviews** The Reviews section will allow you to create and set up Performance Reviews or Appraisals. Within each Review, you can set up Employee & Manager Assessment and 360 Feedback, these are created as Review Templates. Additionally, Review creation can be automated using Review Cycles. To find out more, see [Review Templates](/hr/docs/review-templates), [Review Cycles](/hr/docs/review-cycles) and [Rating Scales](/hr/docs/rating-scales). ### **Goals** The Goals module allows you to set up and track Company, Team and Personal Goals or objectives within the system. Goals can be shared across the organisation for transparency or kept private between managers and their direct reports.
