Entering employees individually as described below should not be your normal method. Using the option to import from a .CSV file or to import using the API enables you to bring much more planning-related information for your employees into
Deltek Resource Planning. You can also use the import process or the APIs to bring in updated information for employees that already exist in
Deltek Resource Planning.
| Field | Description |
|---|
| Employee search field
|
If the list of employees is long and you want to locate a particular employee, type one or more characters from any of the items listed below in the search field above
FULL NAME. That filters the list so that it only displays a list of employees for whom one or more of these data items contain those characters. To restore the full list after filtering, click
X at the end of the search field.
- Employee ID
- First name, middle name, last name, or preferred name
- Suffix
- Title
- Status
- Organization
- Work phone or mobile phone
- Email address
- User name
- Security role

| Import from CSV
|
To import employees into
Deltek Resource Planning from a .CSV file, click this link. You then select the .CSV file, and use the Import Employees From CSV dialog box to map fields in the .CSV file to fields in
Deltek Resource Planning.
Tablets and other devices that use the iOS operating system cannot upload files through the browser. As a result, you must run the import process using a different device, such as a laptop or an Android tablet. If you are using an iOS device, the
Import from CSV option is not available.
|
| EMPLOYEE ID
|
If you have implemented the Resource Planning module, enter a unique employee ID in
EMPLOYEE ID when you add a new employee.
If you have not implement the Resource Planning module, this grid column does not display.
|
| FULL NAME
|
Enter the employee's first name and last name in the normal sequence and separated by a space. To also enter a personal or professional suffix, such as Jr. or AIA, type a comma followed by the suffix at the end of the name. The name as it displays in this field is the name that appears in employee lookup lists and elsewhere in
Deltek Resource Planning.
Either enter the employee's name in this field in the normal sequence, or hover over the grid row and click
 near the end of the row to enter the name in the Employee Information dialog box. If you enter the name in this field and want to include a suffix such as Jr. or AIA, type a comma after the last name and then type the suffix. The name as it displays in this field is the name that appears in employee lookup lists and elsewhere in
Deltek Resource Planning.
If you enter a preferred name in the Employee Information dialog box, this field is updated to display the preferred name in place of the first name. For example, if you enter
Randolph Ash in this field and then enter
Randy in
PREFERRED NAME in the Employee Information dialog box, this field displays
Randy Ash.
Click the name for a saved employee to display a tooltip containing employee information: job title, location, organization, phone numbers, email address, and status. (If the row is in edit mode, you cannot display the tooltip. In that case, click anywhere outside the row to take it out of edit mode and then click the name.)
|
| STATUS
|
This column displays the status of each of the employees: active (green), inactive (gray), or terminated (red). By default, a newly added employee is active. To change the status of an employee, click the status icon and select the status.
Inactive and terminated employees cannot log on to
Deltek Resource Planning. In addition, an employee with the Terminated status does not appear in employee lookup lists, but that person's historical associations with opportunities, those associations created prior to his or her termination, remain.
|

|
If you are using
organizations, select the
organization to which you want to assign the employee.
To select the
organization, do one of the following:
- To select from a list of
organizations with names that start with a specific character, type that character in this field.
- To select from a list of
organizations with names that contain a specific sequence of characters, type the characters in this field and pause.
- To specify the
organization by navigating to it through
organization levels, click
 in this field to display the Edit
Organization dialog box. In the grid on that dialog box, expand the levels to display the lowest-level organization. (You can also use the field above the grid on the Edit

If an employee has no user information, this icon is not visible until you hover over the grid row. If user information has been entered for an employee, this icon always displays on that employee's row. (A dimmed version of the icon displays if
Disable Login is selected for the employee in the User Setup dialog box.)
|
| User Setup: USER NAME

Enter the employee's default password for
Deltek Resource Planning.
|

Deltek Resource Planning.
|
| User Setup: Save/Cancel

Click
Save to save the entries that you made in the User Setup dialog box. Click

Hover over the row, and click

Enter the employee's middle name or initial.

|
| X
|
To delete an employee, hover over that employee's row in the grid, and click
X at the end of the row.
If the employee has any planning assignments or labor charges, you cannot delete the employee. A message displays to notify you.
If the employee is associated with any opportunities or related records, a message displays to notify you. You can still delete the employee, but you may instead want to change his or her status to Inactive or Terminated, rather than deleting, to preserve those associations. If you delete the employee, those historical associations are also removed.
When you delete an employee, the employee's user name and related security information are deleted also.
