Improvement details

Custom imports

The custom import function allows you to build an import to your requirements. For example, if you have a format from third party software, you can build the import to match the format. This helps protect your data as it minimises the need to manipulate the file before importing it into InPay. This is useful for any payrolls you are running within InPay that sit outside of your RSM InTime system.

Starter import to allow starter checklist

The starter importer has been enhanced to allow a valid starter checklist in all circumstances.

Delete failed import

We have added the ability to delete an import that has failed or where an issue has been discovered. If the import has been successful, there will not be a dustbin option to remove the import.

Imported value validation

You will now see an error message, when an import has an imported value field set for a table, if there are any other fields from the same table without a field value set to link to the correct pay element.

Duplicate format names

You will now see an error message if you duplicate a format name.

Characters allowed in pay element names

For the custom imports and standard imports, you will now be able to import additional characters £,%, &, (, and ) for pay elements and pay element name fields.
