Security
Simply Answers HR software incorporates the Simply Personnel HR system security. Simply Personnel HR software will check:
Simply Answers HR software will completely ignore the employees who are not able to see the information and will show a ‘0’ value as the salary instead of the actual value.
Simply Answers HR system checks the existing job record to figure out which department and the location the employee is in. If there is not a current job record found then Simply Personnel HR software will just ignore the employee record.
On each employee’s work tab you can enter the current employee’s payroll number in Sage then choose the Payroll Company. For organizations and companies running and using just one payroll system, this will be Main.

A Simple Query
There are three sections to Simply Answers HR software. The first section is a tree of fields that can be queried. The next section is a result grid and the final section is the display used for the query that contains Structured Query Language. In order to start your query you must click on the ‘+’ and it will open the tree so you can double click on the Surname field. The Surname field will be added into the section defined ‘SQL to be used for this query.’ Now click on the ‘Run Query’ button located on the toolbar. When you do you will see the query results and you can still choose to add more fields just by double clicking them. In this case you would double click on the Firstname field then run the query once again. To begin with a fresh query just click on the ‘New Query’ button. This clears the query results and SQL sections are ready for you to select the new fields. At this point in the process you could also choose to print the query results or export them into Excel.

Grouping and Sorting
You can sort and group queries right within Simply Answers HR software.
Look at an example:
You will see the results change to employees now grouped by gender. A helpful count of both male and female employees is given to you. If you need to un-group them, start by dragging the Gender button off of the ‘group by section’ and end up back at your normal query view. To sort a column just click on the header of that column and it will change the sort order. You also have the ability to sort multiple columns by holding down the shift key while you select individual columns.

Totals and Counts
Any column that is provided in Simply Answers HR software can have a basic total applied to it.
Let’s view an example:
You will now be able to view the results. By now you might also see values for pay shown more than one time for same employees but this is because the query is giving you both current and historic salary values so there is no need to be concerned. Click the Formula symbol, looks similar to an ‘E’, located on the pay column and then choose the option to see the Minimum, Maximum, Average and Sum. Once you press OK you might have to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, enlarge the Pay column size and then view the returned values. You can view the same values being shown with the Gender Group by dragging the Gender column over to the group by section called ‘Drag a column header here to group by that column.’ If you want to un-group just simply drag the Gender button back off of the group and you will be returned to your normal query view.

Filtering
You can quickly and simply filter the results by selecting the filter option on any of the columns.
Let’s look at an example:
You will notice the returned results. Now you might notice values of the same employee being shown more than once but this is just because the query is showing both current and historic pay values. Click on the Formula symbol, which looks like an E, and select to see the Average, Maximum, Minimum or Sum. Once you’ve pressed OK you may have to scroll down to the bottom of the query, enlarge the pay column so you can see the actual values that were returned. In the section of the results drag the gender column over to the group labeled ‘drag a column header here to group by that column.’ Now you can see the same values shown in the Gender Group. If you would like to un-group you just drag the gender button off the group and you will be returned to your normal view of the query.
