Tips and Additional Help Documentation
Deleting Departments
If you delete a department, be sure to move the people in that department to a new department. Individuals must have a primary department set in order to show up on any of the drop down lists.
If you rename a department be sure to change the name of the department for anyone listed in that department.
Department Dialog Review
See this document for questions and answers on Department Dialogs, Metrics, Projects, etc. Link: https://files.connectionsonline.net/files/Dept-Dialog-Development-Session-sample-answers.doc
Linking and Rolling-up Metrics
Please be sure that all the metrics you are linking and then rolling-up are the same format otherwise the roll-up result will not be correct.
Performance Management Module
Couple of updates: the Organization and Department Connections Reports will now show Commitments for any site that has the Performance Management feature, Commitments and Personal Development Goals modules now allow those items to be expanded to display and check off their measures/tasks directly in the sidebar.
Templates
Excel templates have been updated so when you sync the template and choose to open in Connections, it will open in version 4.1. To make sure you are using the most up-to-date templates please use this link: https://connectionsonline.zendesk.com/entries/60396439-Microsoft-Excel-Templates

Exciting News Regarding Related Links and Secure Sypher
As many of you are aware, Secure Sypher has been available to our customers for a nominal fee. This service allows Users to upload documents through the Related Links Function of Connections. We are now going to make that feature available as part of your subscription to all Connections Online customers. If you are currently using the service, your documents and upload service will still be available through Connections Online, but your monthly subscription fee with Secure Sypher will be cancelled. We will have further news on the timing of this change and how you can access the service through the Forum Announcements
