LAWSON SELF SERVICE DENVER HEALTH & HOSPITAL AUTHORITY
Goals • Provide on line/electronic access for DHHA employees to enroll in benefits (Employee Self Service) • Provide one site for all Self Service functions of Lawson (Requisition, Employee and Manager Self Service users) for ease in use and prevention of duplicate logins • Minimal customizations to adapt to Lawson patches and upgrades
Approach • Develop and setup standardized “look” to web site for all users including bookmarks • Define security by employee number, position and web requisition logon • Roll out to pilot group for Open Enrollment: Human Resources, Information Services, Materials Management
Approach (cont) • Provide resources for questions or problems • Identified internet explorer version requirements - IS contact provided for immediate resolution • Developed detailed instruction and communication plan
Post Evaluation • Utilize reports to monitor and QA (login attempts, benefit enrollment) • Conducted survey for feedback on users experience • Identify areas of success and improvements for global rollout in 2006
Administration • RD30 record security includes employee number (HR11), requisition user (RQ04), requisition approval code (RQ02), login to laua (made this generic) • RD30 setup directed to customized default.xml via the ID type and attribute
Administration (cont) • RD30 link of web name and ID were made the same for simplicity and ease of maintenance (note: web type is old functionality) • Loaded records via RD930 or Microsoft Add-Ins
Administration (cont) • LX00 Attribute setups crucial to attach to new xml and ID type (note this is setup as USERENV attribute type) • Personnel skill set requirements include a good Java expert for screen customizations
Trouble Shooting • Be sure to use IOS cache refresh frequently to update portal • Internet Explorer must meet Lawson requirements. Blocking of pop-ups cannot be enabled. Typical errors: "Error on page" --and-- "Object doesn't support this property or method" --and-- "The server returned an invalid XML response" • Logan environment and application access takes trial and error. We opened Logan and disallow user from switching to this product line in preferences
Trouble Shooting (cont) • Attributes are very sensitive on setup so may need to delete RD30 and start over • Minimize bookmarks (parent vs. child) to limit selections on login page and prevent too many pop-ups
Customizations • Login Error warning – If User ID or password was incorrect, background turned red and we customized so users see “Invalid username or password” verbiage. See Lawson Guru Letter: http://www.danalytics.com/guru/letter/archive/2005-06.htm
Customizations (cont) • Preferences lock out – removed Preferences button from menu so users can not subscribe to bookmarks. All bookmark subscriptions are set up by Administrator • Logout button – Set up Logout button for users to close Portal. Did this because Lawson caches User ID’s and passwords unless all browser windows are closed. See Lawson Guru Letter: http://www.danalytics.com/guru/letter/archive/2005-07.htm
Customizations (cont) • All customizations were made via a copy of default.xml and logon.htm to prevent over-writing with updates • Removed search box to lock down security for generic users • Future customizations of our customized xml’s require deletion of username.xml files. Portal refresh is required on logon and new username.xml is created • MSP applies are carefully monitored for changes to above files as well as bookmark changes
Benefits Open Enrollment Items to consider: • Cycles.htm will need to be edited for spending account enrollments to work • New benefit rates must be entered into Lawson much earlier than when using manual enrollment • “No coverage” plan must be set up for each OE plan type • Salary information and entire SSN prints on confirmation statement – make sure employees are aware of this in case they do not have a dedicated printer
Benefits Set up • BS01
Benefits Set-up • BS02
Benefits Set Up • BS03
Employee Self Service View only access to: • Training - History & Scheduled Trainings • Employment – Job Profile & Review History • Pay – Tax Withholdings & Pay Stubs • (can print out W-4 to send to payroll but can not directly update Lawson) • Personal – Leave Balances and Emergency Contact information
Manager Self Service View only access to: • Employee Dates: • birthday (mm/dd), original hire date, adjusted hire date and length of service • Position Requisitions • Direct Reports • Profile (Employment data) • Employee drill around (Leave balances, etc.)
Manager Self Service Nice features: • “New Hire” notation next to any direct report recently hired • “Review due” notation for anyone who has review due in next thirty days • “Overdue Review” notation for anyone whose review is currently overdue
Manager Self Service Nice features (cont) • Reporting structure works well - ability to review the direct reports of your direct reports
Survey feedback • Need ability to change password within Self Service • On-line open enrollment was quick and easy • Convenience of completing enrollment at your own computer • Nice to be able to retrieve PTO balances, etc. without having to call someone
Survey feedback (cont) • Easy to navigate – no training necessary • Recommend offering classes for those who do not use computers on daily basis • Not having to deliver paperwork to benefits was nice • Wish the Leave Balances for direct reports were in same format as Employee information
Requisition Self Service Items to consider: • RQ04 setup to include locking down to a particular accounting unit • Unable to use Shopping Cart in 8.0.3 as it creates user roles which override the customized role • Only able to see requisitions created by requisition user logged on
Requisition Self Service Items to consider (cont): • Templates go a long way to helping customers with ordering • RQ02 approval codes have non-encrypted passwords which force generic usage unless each individual has a unique approval code
Requisition Self Service Nice Features • Ability to check and drill around on requisition status • Ease of use compared to RQ10 • Search capabilities are more robust in RSS than LID • Shortcuts to non-Lawson ordering sites
