To view your files (last 30 days) and their processing status (or error details):
- Login to your Workstars Administrator account
- Click on the Add-ons tab
- Click HR Data Sync
Here you can:
- View your uploaded files and status
- Download previously processed files
- View error reports
- Cancel queued files
- Download schema files
- Manually upload files (this is only available for testing prior to launch)
The following statuses are used:
| Status | Description |
| Scheduled | The file has passed validation and has been scheduled (the scheduled date and time will be displayed) |
| Queued | The file has passed validation and has been queued for processing |
| Processing | The file is processing (you can view the % as it processes) |
| Skipped | The file was rejected as it was the same as the last successful file. |
| Blocked | To protect your data history the processor will block files that try to make significant changes. For example, if you try to remove more than 75% of your employees or positions. This is not normal and is usually caused by either a data problem (e.g. leading zeros removed from EmployeeID by mistake) or a change in HR systems (e.g. new positonsID’s are different than old positonsID’s). |
| Error | The file failed validation and was rejected (download the error file to view why) |
| Complete | The file has completed successfully |
| Complete With Errors | The file was processed but 1 or more lines generated a warning (download the error file to view why) |
WARNING
When viewing your uploaded files, do not open them with Excel. You should always use a text based application (e.g. Notepad) to ensure you see the correct content.
File Processing Overview
When a file is uploaded, the system will check the file format:
- if the file is OK, it will be queued for processing.
- if there is a problem with the file, the ENTIRE FILE will be rejected, and an error reported. NO CHANGES will be applied to your data.
Queued files will be processed, one record at a time:
- if an issue is detected ONLY THAT RECORD will be skipped and file processing will continue. An exception file will be generated to help you resolve any issues.
- if there are no issues, the employee data and positions will be updated and the appropriate actions taken (e.g. employees added, invites sent, employees removed, hierarchy changes applied, etc.)
