Using Main and Reporting Selection Lists for Security

These types of selection lists are used in Sage HRMS Payroll:

Main list. This is a specific selection list that has been assigned to a user who does not have access to all employees.
Reporting list. This is a subset of a larger selection list. Reporting lists provide users with the option of working with smaller groups of employees.

The terms "main list" and "reporting list" only represent how a selection list is used in a particular situation (it is not a field or label in the payroll program). For example, your main list can be one of your supervisor's reporting lists.

Windows with a Selection List field allow you to choose whether to work with all of the employees that have been assigned to you on your main list, or only the employees on a particular reporting list. For example, you can select a reporting list (such as a list of all Executives) when printing reports or calculating payroll.
