Managing staff filters in RosterElf

Video walkthrough How to use the staff tab filters

The Staff tab in RosterElf offers a variety of filters to help you manage your team effectively. These filters allow you to assess staff permissions and ensure that everyone is set up correctly within the platform. By using these filters, you can identify staff who have yet to log in, those missing essential pay templates, or employees not synced with Xero.

1. Understanding staff filters in RosterElf

RosterElf’s Staff tab includes two main filter categories: Status and Permission Level. These filters help you keep track of important staff details and streamline user management.

1.1 Using status filters

The Status filter offers All Statuses, Yet to Login, Missing Pay Template and Salary Employee, plus Not Synced to Xero on accounts connected to Xero. Each option matches an icon on the staff cards, which also show each person’s MFA status.

1.1.1 Yet to Login - Select this filter to display staff who haven’t logged into RosterElf. A login icon indicates whether the staff has logged in before.

1.1.2 Missing Pay Template - Use this filter to identify staff members without a Pay Template in their Staff card for all applicable Positions or Sites.

1.1.3 Not Synced to Xero - On accounts connected to Xero, this option shows staff who aren’t correctly synced with Xero. It isn’t listed on accounts that don’t use the Xero integration, such as those that import staff by CSV.

1.1.4 Salary Employee - Select this option to display staff classified as salary employees.

1.1.5 MFA icon - MFA isn’t a Status filter option. Instead, the padlock icon on each staff card shows whether that person has enabled Multi-Factor Authentication — hover over it to see the status.

Frequently asked questions

1. How can I filter staff who haven't logged into RosterElf?

Use the Yet to Login filter in the Staff tab to identify team members who haven’t logged into RosterElf yet. This includes logins via smartphone or web browser.

2. How do I find staff without a pay template in RosterElf?

Select the Missing Pay Template filter to locate staff members who do not have a Pay Template assigned in their Staff card for all applicable positions and sites.

3. What should I do if staff are not synced with Xero?

On an account connected to Xero, choose Not Synced to Xero in the Status filter to identify unsynced staff. The option isn’t listed on accounts that don’t use the Xero integration. Resolve syncing issues through the Xero Employees setting or create a new staff record directly from RosterElf.

4. How do I identify salary employees in RosterElf?

Choose Salary Employee in the Status filter to view staff classified as salary employees. A salary icon replaces the pay template icon for those staff members.

5. How can I check which staff have enabled MFA in RosterElf?

MFA isn’t a Status filter option. Check the padlock icon on each staff card to see which staff have activated Multi-Factor Authentication, ensuring that staff accounts are secure with an additional layer of security.
