File Manager

Introduction

File Manager functionality is used to access files and folders. Files are easily shared and edited by multiple employees, depending on their access rights. It works similarly as folders in your PC.

Tiles:

  • Various client-specific tiles – customized tiles with custom name, design, function, storage, accesses, with custom workflow and approval procedures. These tiles may also have other features set up other than those described in this manual.
  • File Manager – general access to the company’s master folder
  • My Documents – access to the employee’s own folder, this tile is used to share documents between HR and employees
  • Help – this tile is usually where your company’s internal manuals are stored
  • Payroll Uploads – used to upload documents for payroll processing

Please note a TULIP setup you see always depends on custom requirements and access settings of TULIP for your company. Not all companies use the File Manager functionality that allows you to work with files and folders.

Actions

Workflow

There are static folders or folders with a workflow. Workflow is a process where one file is sent through a series of steps and users. This enables everyone in the workflow to participate, always depending on his/her access rights.

Payroll and Tax folders

Payroll folders are a specific folder structure with workflow. Those folders are created automatically

Payslips

Files that are uploaded must be in a certain format and include a personal number of an employee at the beginning (for example, 1562 is a personal number, so the file´s name is 1562-Smith Jason-May 2022.pdf).

Also, after the personal number, one of those signs must follow to separate the personal number from the rest of the file´s name:
