General Information on HR-Expert

Webdesk HR-Expert is an application for HR staff to manage employees and the internal organizational elements. It is a stand-alone application that builds on Webdesk EWP. To be able to use Webdesk HR-Expert, Webdesk EWP must therefore be installed, and every HR-Expert user must also be created as a Webdesk master record.

Webdesk HR-Expert uses the same database as Webdesk EWP and, in addition, additional tables to store the information to be managed.

Functions of Webdesk HR Expert​

  • Personal master data with contract history and position, job, and organization history
  • Management and assignment of skills
  • Management of family members
  • Management of personal bank accounts and salaries
  • Management of information about disabilities
  • Assignment of responsibilities
  • Institutional education of the employee (classic training)
  • Staffing plan and organization chart
  • Extensive reports
  • Full-text search by person, job, position, location, organizational unit, and cost center

Permission Options​

The permission to access Webdesk HR-Expert can be controlled by assigning a dedicated role in the Webdesk Administrator. Customizing masks, menu items, or reports in HR-Expert is only possible for the administrator.

Using HR-Expert Reports in Webdesk EWP​

The reports available in HR-Expert can also be used as Webdesk menu items for a manager self-service and can thus be made available to a broader group of users.

Joint Administration of Persons and Groups​

Every person created in HR-Expert is automatically also visible in the Webdesk EWP Administrator. Conversely, with every person created via the Webdesk EWP Administrator, an employee is also automatically created in HR-Expert.

In principle, the core information of a person can be administered via both access points, but important HR-relevant, administrative properties such as employment contract, job assignment, private addresses, etc. can only be administered via HR-Expert.
