Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources is an ERP module from Microsoft. It is designed with capabilities to handle different human resource processes right from the recruitment of employees to their retirement. Microsoft asserts that using this module can greatly minimize costs associated with recruiting and managing employees while improving their overall performance.
Its user interface is easy to find your way around. All you need is a basic guide and you will be good to go. This software is not just for the HR in a company, employees too can use it to manage processes like applying for leave, setting up medical benefits, and so on.
An example of how it makes the HR process easier is when calculating leave days. One common error made when this is done manually is that official holidays may be calculated as part of leave days. With Dynamics 365 HR, however, public holidays are automatically removed from the number of leave days just like weekends. Let's take a look at some other features.
This is a feature designed to help HR manage the employee experience so that employees are more comfortable at the organization. This feature has tools that foster productivity and learning. Both the HR and the employees are involved in determining the experience. For example, an employee can respond to feedback about their performance, they can also manage their leave requests within the system instead of writing a letter to HR.
This feature helps the organization set up rules and policies that govern the execution of duties. With several departments and teams within an organization, there are corresponding hierarchies. Dynamics 365 HR helps the user set these up much faster. Templates can be used to ensure nothing is left out. Hierarchies help in financial reporting, both internally and externally.
An organization can attract and retain talent by offering them attractive benefits and compensation. This feature makes it much easier to do this and involves the employee in the process. It is a flexible solution that goes beyond the usual medical dental and child and spouse care. An organization can configure its benefits plan as it sees fit. You can set up criteria for certain benefits. These benefits are also visible to employees as well as prospective employees. Whatever is chosen can be automatically added to the final employee contract.
Human Resource can keep detailed profiles about every employee with information such as academic qualifications, professional experience, additional training, and so on. This profile is handy for managers who may be considering assigning certain tasks to team members or when planning for training. This feature also integrates with LinkedIn to create an all-round profile.
Several other features can help HR, managers, and employees within an organization. For example Leave and absence management, enrollment management, retirement management, etc.
365 Human Resource integrates seamlessly with other Microsoft Dynamics modules. For example, it can integrate with finance to automate the payroll system within the HR module. Sales data can also be retrieved from the sales module to assess the performance of an employee.
Integration can also be achieved with third-party apps like recruitment apps. applications can be channeled from a recruitment site straight to the HR module and applicants can be screened within the system.
You can also integrate with document automation software to efficiently communicate and collaborate with different people. Automate offer letters, job descriptions, and any other HR communication.
There are two pricing options. You can choose the self-service option which costs $4 per month or the full package which costs $120 per month. If you choose to include other Microsoft Dynamics modules, you will have to pay for them separately as well.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human resource is an easy-to-use HR tool that packs a lot of features in a single module. HR teams can make their work easier by using it.

The Generate Code tool in the designer allows you to open an existing template and, with a click of a button, automatically create a window with the code needed to run your current template with all data sources and variables. Simply copy this code and paste into your application's code in the appropriate place. You now have Windward integrated into your application.
You only need to do this once. You do not do this for each template. Instead, where it has explicit files for the template and output, change that to parameters you pass to this code. Same for the parameters passed to Windward. This example uses explicit values to show you what to substitute in where.
Any pivot tables in an XLSX template are carried over to the XLSX output. The ranges in the pivot ranges are adjusted to match the generated output. So your final XLSX will have pivot tables set as expected in the generated file.
This makes creating an XLSX workbook with pivot tables trivial.
In an imported sub-template, if its properties for a style (ex. Normal) differ from the parent template's properties for the style, the use in the sub-template can be set to either use the properties in the sub-template, or the properties in the parent.
You set to retain when you don't want the child template's styling to change when imported. You set to use the parent when you want the styling of the imported template to match the styling in the parent.
Any explicit styling is always retained. This only impacts styling set by styles.
Tags can be placed in text boxes. Including linked text boxes. This gives you the ability to set the text in a textbox from your data.
Tags can be placed in shapes & smart art. This gives you the ability to set the text in a shape from your data.
When generating HTML output, the engine can either write bitmaps as distinct files the generate HTML references, or it can embed the images in the HTML providing a single file for the output.
You can place tags in pretty much any part of a template, including in footnotes & endnotes.
Any parts of a DOCX or XLSX (PowerPoint does not support this) file that are locked in the template, will be locked the same in the output.
If a font used in the template does not exist on the server generating a report, the font to substitute can be specified.
In addition, if a glyph to be rendered does not exist in the font specified, you can specify the replacement font. This can be set distinctly for European, Bi-Directional, and Far East fonts.
If you need this - it's essential. And if you don't need it, it's irrelevant.
Windward enables you to build a document by applying multiple datasources to the template simultaneously. When Windward is merging the data into a template, it processes the template by handling each tag in order, and each tag pulls from different datasources. (As opposed to processing all of one datasource, then processing the next.)
This allows the select tag to use data from another datasource in its select. For example, if you are pulling customer information from one data source, you can then pull data from the sales datasource using the customer ID of the customer presently processing to pull the sales information for that customer. If you're interested in patching together your data from multiple datasources, read this post on our blog.
