Below are the highlights for the release.

Scenario Plan Phases


Scenario Plans are designed for high-level strategic planning. The plans allow you to plan simple or complex team moves quickly and efficiently. Now when you need to plan for a large team move or a re-organization, the Scenario Plan gives you the ability to split the move or re-organization into phases. 

Multiple phases can be created (with a maximum of 10 phases) or if you only need one phase that okay too.

BOS Move Plan Phases


BOS (Bodies on Seats) Move Plans, assists with the process of moving people from one location to another. It provides a central location for you to manage all move information from a single source. 

Now when you have a large move then the ability to split the move into phases is essential. Corporate Estate teams will typically split the phases by:

  • Time - an example is to phase by a calendar date where the move is:
    • Phase 1 - 1st weekend
    • Phase 2 - 2nd weekend
    • etc.
  • Location - an example is to phase by location where the move is:
    • Phase 1 - Collins Street floor 12
    • Phase 2 - Collins Street floor 16
    • etc.
  • Business Unit - an example is to phase by business unit where the the move is:
    • Phase 1 - Asset Portfolio Management (1143)
    • Phase 2 - Growth Analysis (1135)
    • etc.

Multiple phases can be created (as many as you require) or if you only need one phase that okay too.

  • 100% (or more) utilized

  • System Logon now displays as a column and this is a manually entered field (or supplied via the Person Import) that needs to match the logon name that clients have on their end on their internal HR system. 

Remember that when a new user is created as an SSO user, then this user will be created in Serraview and this is based on the Logon Identifier, refer to Configure Default User Role and the Logon Identifier.

  • User Name column has changed to Serraview Username and this is used for the authentication into the Serraview product.
