Benefits and Need to Know

Task

Process / Helpful Hint

Benefit

  • HR Feed - Allows clients to maintain user profiles/accounts on a daily, weekly or bi-weekly basis.

    • It is highly recommended to have an HR feed, if the client has Single Sign-on (SSO) or Open Expense enabled.

  • Profile upload - Available as a one-time upload.

    • Upload at anytime to create, terminate or update user accounts/profiles.

      • Used when onboarding user accounts.

      • Mass updates to profile reporting fields.

      • Mass updates to items within a group of user profiles.

  • HR feed/Profile upload is customizable.

    • You can remove and add columns, allowing for easy upload and clarity.

  • Delegate upload - Allows clients to associate delegates to user profiles.

Note: Best used as a one-time Delegate - User account/profile association, before going live. The file may remove delegate/user associations if all data is not on the file, therefore it is best to upload only during on-boarding process. The file is a wipe and replace in many instances.

Best practice: Allow delegates and users to assign associations within their profile settings, once the site is live.

Upload Frequent Traveler Programs

When uploading a Frequent Traveler reward program, you will be required to upload all reward programs for the user(s). The rewards programs are dependent on each other; If only one or two air reward membership numbers are uploaded, yet the user(s) profile contains several, then file will remove those that are not included on the file. This is the same for car and hotel as well. Keep in mind if uploading air, you do not need to also  the car or hotel membership programs, vise versa.

Upload Status

  • Example below reflects status responses you may encounter with an HR feed or Profile upload

Image RemovedImage Added

  • Complete - File was successfully uploaded

  • Failed - File completely failed to upload

    • To research what is causing the error, select the siteid name to the far left of the failed indicator

    • In this case, the failure was due to the file not being uploaded to the Deem vault at the time of processing.  This client does not send the file on Saturdays and Sundays, therefore they fail those days. 

  • Completed with errors - File was successfully uploaded minus those who have failed due to an error

    • Example below reflects error due to the Approval Manager within profile does not exist. The profile will not update until Approval Manager has been created or Approval Role granted to them.

Image RemovedImage Added

Note: The profile upload/HR feed will not change the ExternalID or UserName, therefore if a user/profile has a UserName or ExternalID change, you would need to manually update the profile in Deem.  Once updated, the HR feed or Profile upload will upload successfully.

  • Happens frequently as a result of name changes 

  • Example below indicates that employee ID 27358’s email address has changed to jane.doe@deem.com. You will need to find the user’s profile with the employee number and then change to jane.doe@deem.com.
