Whether you're setting up the workforce budget for a new financial year or updating existing plans, importing manpower data in bulk is an efficient solution.
This article will guide you through the complete process of importing manpower plans into your uKnowva HRMS system.
Step 1: Accessing the Manpower Planning Page
To begin, log in to your uKnowva HRMS instance and navigate to the Manpower Planning page.
To know how to access the Manpower Planning page, follow this tutorial.
This will open the manpower planning dashboard, displaying a list of existing plans arranged under columns such as Designation, Action, Year, Approved Count, On Hold, Active, Offered, Resigned, Vacancy, Approved Budget, Published, Created By, and Created On.
This overview provides insight into the workforce distribution and planned hiring activities across the organisation.
Step 2: Initiating the Import Process
Once you’re on the Manpower Planning page, locate the Import button positioned at the top of the screen above the list of existing entries.
Clicking this button will open a dialog box titled Import Manpower Plans, allowing you to upload your data in bulk.
Before you proceed, it is important to prepare your data file correctly.
The system typically accepts Excel or CSV files that include essential columns like Plan Name, Department, Designation, Year, and the Number of Approved Positions.
If you’re unsure of the required structure, click on the Download Import Template File option available in the pop-up.
This will provide you with a pre-formatted template, making it easier to organise your data as per the expected format.
Once your data is ready, click on the Choose File or Browse button to select the file from your local system.
After selecting the correct file, click on the Upload File button to begin importing the data.
The system will automatically validate the contents of your file. If everything is in order, the manpower plans will be added to your existing list and will be immediately available for viewing and management.
