What are the benefits of using the DataBank?

• Saves time: If you have only a few entries to make, it may be more efficient to enter them into the People List individually by cutting and pasting the information from another source. However, if you have many entries, the DataBank Import will significantly reduce your effort.

• Fewer typos: The DataBank Import can be generated from an authoritative data source, making it less likely to contain typographical errors. This is particularly important for the automated addressing of Auto Emails.

• Comparisons: By including an OLDSAC field in the DataBank Import file, you can compare the Subject's current ratings to their ratings from a previous 360-degree assessment.

• Group Sub-Reports: The DataBank Import allows Group Reports to include demographic information for strategic data analysis. This enables Group Sub-Reports to focus on specific subsets, such as all employees within a particular department or those with similar lengths of service. This information can inform training and development decisions and facilitate comparisons across various workforce groups.
