Redwood Experience for Payroll Flows Checklist

The Checklist page has been moved to the Redwood toolkit, giving the page the look of Redwood. With this new page you can monitor the status of a submitted flow and take corrective action to resolve issues. Navigate to the Checklist page by selecting a single task or task flow on the redesigned View Flows page.

Given below are the additional capabilities the redesigned Checklist page offers.

Flow Analytics

  • View the flow statistics displayed at the top of the page. It displays the number of overall activities included in the flow. You define the activity information when you create the flow.
  • Review the flow analytics to check the number of Connected Flows, Linked Flows, and Related Flows. Click on any of them to further drill down and view the details.

Submit a Report 

Use the Submit a Report action to submit a report that's not included in your flow. This feature enables you to perform ad-hoc reporting for the processes in your flow directly from the Checklist page. Select a report and the parameters of the task from where you added the report is defaulted automatically to the report. The report gets added after the task you used to submit the report. When you submit the report, the report runs only after the previous task in the flow has completed. The results of the report are based on the previous task that we are running this report on.

In the case of any issues with the process, you can take corrective actions and resubmit the report without rolling back the report. Use the Resubmit option and resubmit the report with the same parameters and the report output replaces the previous version of the report output.

If the same report is resubmitted multiple times, you can use the View History action to view the submission history.

You can view the report output directly from the Checklist page and without you navigating to the process results page. 

Roll Back and Payroll Relationship Groups

When you use the Roll Back Errors option to roll back records that have errors, the application includes the rolled back records in a payroll relationship group. With this update, the application gives you the option to select either an existing payroll relationship group or create a new payroll relationship group. The existing group can be a group already created for this flow, or for another flow, or one that’s manually created. You can now use a single payroll relationship group for the whole flow across multiple tasks within the flow.

You can also roll back employees who may not be in an error state. For example, the payroll administrator who runs the regular payroll may be notified of an employee who is terminated during a payroll period. If the employee record isn’t rolled back and removed from the payroll process, the company may end up overpaying the terminated employee. The payroll administrator can roll back this employee and add the record to a new or existing PR group.

After you have rolled back results for a process, navigate to the Payroll Relationship Group page and open the PR Group to view and correct the rolled back records.

Take advantage of all the features that come with the new Redwood Checklist page for a more modern feel and experience.
