Getting Started in Sage HRMS Link

During installation of Sage HRMS, the system installed every option you purchased, including Sage HRMS Link. Before you start using Sage HRMS Link, you must do the following:

  1. Set up Sage HRMS.
  2. Set up an employer in Sage HRMS or Sage HRMS Train.
  3. Set up security and give users access to Sage HRMS Link. Note that if you do not access Sage HRMS Link using the Master user ID, you can import and export only those fields to which you have access.
  4. If you will be using ADP PC Exchange, install and implement PC Exchange. Sage HRMS Link supports Versions 4, 5 and 6 of your ADP PC/Payroll System for imports and supports all versions for exports.
  5. Be familiar with the master files and using the Sage HRMS data dictionary so you can find the fields you need for the template.
  6. Know how to read the ASCII file you intend to import into your Sage HRMS database. You should understand what each field represents and the properties for each field.
  7. Understand file formats. Sage HRMS Link imports or exports ASCII files with these common file formats: comma-delimited, space-delimited, tab-delimited, fixed-length.
  8. Understand the import process and its impact on the Sage HRMS databases.
  9. Verify the ASCII file from your source application will work effectively with the template. You may have to prepare your ASCII Files for import.
  10. For additional information on developing an external interface or importing time sheet data into Sage HRMS Link, refer to the Sage HRMS Link Guide available on the Sage HRMS Product Documentation website.
