After an employee moved to a new position or got a promotion to a new role, we advise you to change their Custom field on the user tab. This action will help you identify and group your workforce in a more efficient way.
In this case, you might change users’ custom fields such as their positions, team, or direct manager.
After updating the relevant Custom fields, the information will be automatically updated and stored in the Timeline feature.
The Timeline feature is a built-in capability that automatically records events and important milestones related to your users. So now, you can easily keep track of your users progress, such as their previous department, team, position and pay rate history, and more.
