The CHRIS User Interface will be changing in 2020 to a new 'Electric Theme'

This demonstration is to allow users to see this new look interface and to ask questions.

Please note, this is not intended to be a training session, training will be provided at a later date to those users that require it.

The iTrent Electric theme is the new user Interface for the CHRIS HR and Payroll system. While nothing has changed in the background of the database, the way we view the data and how we access the screens have. The Electric theme gives a more streamlined and responsive way to access everyday HR Tasks.

This session gives users the opportunity to log on using the new Electric User profile, view the changes and ask any questions. It is not an instructor led course.

If you are regularly required to write, or offer advice on writing, CHRIS/PD33s, either as a line manager or a departmental administrator then this course is for you.

Phase 1 of the University’s SRD system will be launched on 29 September. There will be no formal training with this release, however, go-live briefings are available to demonstrate the new functionality. The updated system will allow the accurate and efficient recording of probationary and SRD review information. It will support (and reduce) the administration required to run an effective SRD scheme and to make SRD more accessible to all staff. The new system:

1. Allows the accurate and efficient recording of probationary and SRD review information; 2. Replaces the use of CHRIS for recording review outcomes; 3. Generates reminders for review activities such as face-to-face meetings; and 4. Provides (via report bursting) reports on staff who have had a review and/or are due a review.

These presentations will introduce the first development of the University's Staff Review & Development (SRD) System. The demos will allow for feedback from Schools and Departmental Administrators before the system is introduced at the end of September.
