Truvelop User Guide

 

1. Introduction

Welcome to Truvelop!                                                  

Evaluating a team member shouldn’t be so time-consuming and tedious. With Truvelop, it's easy! Truvelop is fast, easy, and mobile.

Truvelop helps leaders and managers see where their team members are strong, where they are weak, and what actions to take to enhance each team member’s impact to their department and company as a whole.

With a crystal-clear picture of your personnel and talent landscape, leaders can act swiftly and confidently rather than waiting until the end of the year – when it’s too late and they have forgotten.

Truvelop is fast, accurate, and easy to use on your desktop, laptop, and smartphone. The following guide will help you set up your organization and learn all the user-friendly features Truvelop has to offer.

2. User Roles

Each Truvelop role has a different purpose and associated functionality. This guide provides insight into each role and navigational instruction of their features.

Before diving in, it is important to understand Truvelop's structure and hierarchy that is built into the system. There is a total of four user roles accompanied with personalized dashboards. These roles go as follows:

  • Company Administrator
    • Has access to almost all of Truvelop’s functionality, like adding team members individually, or with the Excel upload; editing company profile information; and having an overarching view of the company and all its team members and their performance.
  • Company Executive
    • The leader of the organization (typically the CEO) that has the same functionality as a Manager but maintains a view of the company in its entirety.
  • Manager
    • A team leader that only has access to assess his/her team members and view their progress.
  • Non-Manager
    • A team member that does not have any other team members reporting to them. Their presence in Truvelop is just for team, company, and department leaders to assess their performance over time.

 (Back to Top)

 

3. Company Administrator

They may not be involved in every assessment, but they ensure new team members are loaded, existing team member information is current, and update team members who are leaving the organization. They are responsible for assigning each team member their own reporting manager.

Since this user has the best understanding of their company and its structure, the Company Administrator oversees laying the foundation of the Truvelop experience.

The two most important pieces to put in place are your company’s departments, and the reporting managers, whether they are other Company Administrators, the Company Executive, or Managers.

 

 (Back to Top)

 

3.1 ADD DEPARTMENTS

By clicking the “Department” tab on the dashboard and following these steps, a Company Administrator can add departments that are relevant to their company.

Once you enter the “Department” tab, click “+ New Department.”
On this screen, you will also be able to view your company’s existing departments.

A window will pop up with a text box to type in your new department name as pictured to the right.

If you begin typing a department that already exists, an error message will appear on your screen notifying you that department already exists.

When you are ready to create your new department, click “Add.”

A validation message will appear notifying you that a new department has been added to your company successfully.

You can also toggle Send Sparks and Send Evaluation. This will give a notification to the team member that received an evaluation

.

 (Back to Top)

 

3.2 ADD REPORTING MANAGERS

Before uploading all team members, it is important that you upload all reporting managers first. Reporting managers can be any Truvelop role.

Begin by entering the “Team Members” tab on the dashboard and click “+ New Team Member”

Assign these reporting managers as Admin, Executive, or Manager, and assign yourself as their reporting manager. As the Company Administrator configuring the Truvelop experience for your company, all reporting managers in Truvelop will be reporting to you in and out of the system.

Click “Save” when you are finished inputting all of the team member’s information in the required fields outlined in Section 3.3. Your new reporting managers will now appear in the “Reporting Manger” dropdown on the single upload screen as shown above, as well as the “Manager Name” column in the Excel upload in Section 3.4.

 (Back to Top)

 

3.3 ADD NEW TEAM MEMBER

Beyond the basic functionality of Truvelop outlined in the later sections of this user guide, the Company Administrator has access to other features, such as adding new team members.

All team members will receive an email from Truvelop notifying them that they have been added to the tool. They will be given a temporary password to login and access their portal. It is advised that each user change their password promptly to something they will remember. Steps to change your password are listed in Section 6.9.

It is fast and easy to add a new team member to your organization.
Once on the Team Member tab of your Dashboard, you will notice that there are two ways to upload team member data: one at a time, or through a mass input using the Excel upload process. The steps to complete an Excel upload are detailed in Section 3.4.

To upload your reporting managers and single uploads throughout your Truvelop experience, begin by clicking “+ New Team Member” as marked below.

 

3.3 ADD NEW TEAM MEMBER (Cont.)

Once on this screen, fill in the required information marked by the * by each field. Be sure to assign a Truvelop role and Reporting Manager, which should be loaded first, along with departments.

If you scroll down, you’ll see a separate section comprised of optional fields. Once you finish filling out at least all the required fields, click “Save” at the bottom of the screen.

Only the Company Administrator has access to this functionality.
It is recommended that you add Managers, Company Administrators, and Company Executives first on
an individual level to store them as Reporting Managers in the system for future team member uploads.

 (Back to Top)

 

3.4 EXCEL UPLOAD

You can upload a list of thousands of team members of all different roles at once with the Excel Upload functionality. Start by clicking “Excel Upload.”

Next, download the template generated by the system.

3.4.1 FILL OUT
EXCEL SPREADSHEET

Once the template is downloaded to your computer, the yellow columns are the required fields, and the blue columns are the optional fields

 (Back to Top)

 

SPECIAL NOTES ON FILLING IN THE EXCEL

Employee ID: This alphanumeric, or strictly numeric identification number needs to be unique for each team member. You can employ your current identification system when uploading team members, just as long as each team member has a unique identification number.

Date of Hire: The template is coded to accept dates written in a MM/DD/YY format.
• Ex. 7/11/16 = Pass
• Ex. 7/11/2016 = Fail
• Ex. 07/11/16 = Fail

City: Write the city name for that team member, spelled correctly.
State: The template accepts only the standard state abbreviation.
• Ex. VA = Pass
• Ex. Virginia = Fail

Department: This column provides a dropdown menu with the departments previously configured for your company. If you don’t have the correct departments to choose from in the dropdown menu, contact your Truvelop representative, and they will re-configure your departments.
• If you are sending an Excel template filled with your company’s data to a Truvelop Administrator, they will be able to configure your departments to populate the department dropdown menu for future Excel uploads. You can then choose to upload the updated Excel template yourself, or else a Truvelop Administrator would be more than happy to do so for you.
• The Company Administrator can add departments, but they cannot remove departments irrelevant to their company on their portal.
• Once the departments have been reconfigured by your Truvelop Admin, redownload the template and upload your data on the fresh template.

Employee Status: This column is also a dropdown menu, and you will only have two options to choose from: Active or Inactive.

Role: Different from team member Position, this column represents the team member’s Truvelop role which include Admin, Executive, Manager, and Non-Manager. The descriptions for these roles can be found in Section 2.0 of the user guide.

Managers Name: This dropdown list contains the list of reporting managers, along with their Employee ID, that have been previously added to your company. The dropdown will only be populated if the reporting managers have been loaded first. Otherwise, the dropdown menu will be blank. As mentioned in Section 3.1 and 3.2, loading reporting managers and adding departments are among the very first steps to take when setting up your company in Truvelop.

 (Back to Top)

 

SPECIAL NOTES ON FILLING IN THE EXCEL (CONT.)

To download team members, executives, managers, and admin on the same Excel and assign reporting managers, or if a reporting manager is not in the yellow column, but is being uploaded in the Excel, follow these steps. First, fill in all required information on the team member (Do not use special characters except for filling in the date), giving each a unique employee ID. This number will be important in the next step. If the manager’s name is not in the dropdown, you must use the Excel Manager’s Employee ID column. You will input that managers unique employee ID from the first column as highlighted to the right. Once all of your team members are logged in the template, copy the unique employee ID of the reporting manager into the blue column titled “Excel Managers Employee ID” in the correct team member’s row. Repeat this process for all that apply, and your team members will be assigned to the correct reporting managers once the Excel is successfully uploaded into the system.

 (Back to Top)

 

3.4.2 UPLOAD COMPLETED EXCEL

When your template is completed, go back to the Truvelop web page, click “Select File,” and select the completed Excel file saved on your computer. Once the file is selected and uploaded, click “Import” at the bottom of the screen.

 

3.4.3 VERIFY SUCCESS OF EXCEL UPLOAD

After importing the file, verify the correct number of team members being loaded through the Excel as listed, and click Review New Team Members.

If any duplicate data is found between the uploaded Excel and data already present in Truvelop, it will translate as Mismatch Data. Fields filled incorrectly or incompletely will also be recognized as Mismatch Data.

On the Review New Team Members screen, you can mark all team members’ statuses as Active by clicking the marked box. Once all team members are marked as Active, click “Start & Import.” If you wish to have certain team members remain Inactive, you can uncheck the box to change their status.

 (Back to Top)

 

3.4.3 VERIFY SUCCESS OF EXCEL UPLOAD (CONT.)

Since there is no Mismatch Data, you can click “Skip” to continue the upload process.

 

If there is any Mismatch Data detected, you will be able to review the errors at this step. Instead of clicking “Skip,” a list of Mismatch Data will appear at the bottom of the screen. You will notice that in this case, the data being uploaded in the Excel is already present in Truvelop. This is indicated by the highlighted icons, followed by the duplicate data.

 (Back to Top)

 

3.4.3 VERIFY SUCCESS OF EXCEL UPLOAD (CONT.)

You can choose to mark the team member data from the Excel as “Active” by checking the box. Once you’ve changed the status of the team member, click “Import & Replace” to import these team members, and replace any existing data on the duplicated team member.

Screen Shot 2019-07-29 at 1.38.12 PM

If you don’t wish to upload the team members in the Mismatch Data category, keep the “Active” status check boxes blank, and click “Skip.”

Screen Shot 2019-07-29 at 1.39.08 PM

On the bottom of your screen, you will receive a confirmation message stating that all of your team members have been uploaded successfully into your company, along with the total number being uploaded. You can view all your team members on the Team Member by clicking “Back to Team Member List.”

 (Back to Top)

 

3.5 EDITING AND DELETING TEAM MEMBERS

You can edit or delete an team member by clicking the action button on the right column. A drop down menu will appear with actions to do with the team member, including Edit, Delete, Evaluate, Team Member Dashboard and Spark.

If you choose to edit an team member’s information, make sure all the required fields – as shown in Section 3.3 – are filled before clicking “Save.” You can choose to change an team member’s status at any time by editing their information. By switching them to “Inactive,” you can keep their data loaded in Truvelop for auditing purposes. An “Inactive” team member will lose access to the system, and they can no longer be assessed. If you choose to delete a team member, a validation message will appear. By clicking “Yes,” you will be affirming the permanent deletion of that team member and all of their data. Truvelop does not recommend this as a process, but it is available for mistakes when uploading new data. Deactivating an team member is the recommended alternative.

 

3.6 COMPANY PROFILE

Like adding new team members, any edits made to the company profile only fall in the Company Administrator functionality. Here, you can add a company logo by selecting a file from your computer and make any necessary changes in your company information.

If you choose to add an image to your company profile, it will appear in the top left corner of all team members’ dashboards to personalize the experience. To save any changes or updates made, click “Submit” when finished.

3.7 TEAMS IN TRUVELOP

Teams is an important part of the Truvelop App’s functionality. Teams allows you to break out of the traditional reporting hierarchy and experiment with dual reporting relationships and a matrix organizational structure. Teams is perfect for organizations that seek to allow multiple managers who interact with a particular team member to provide evaluation feedback. This allows you to have multiple perspectives versus the perspective of a single manager. Here’s how it works.  

teams_cap1

Teams can be found in the highlighted icon on the left side of your screen.

 

teams_cap2

 

 

This takes you to the Teams page. This will display all your active and inactive teams. Click "+ New Team" in the top right corner to create your team!

teams_cap3

 

Here is a breakdown of all the sections:

Team Name: This is the name of your team. It will display is multiple places throughout Truvelop

Evaluation Activity: This is how many evaluations can be done within the group in one day.

Start/End Date: This is day the group is created and the day the group dissipates. 

Team Members and Team Managers: Team Members are all of the team members associate with the Team who can be evaluated. Be careful when adding names as you don’t want to inadvertently add someone to the list whose team member data should not be shared.Next,add the names of the Managers who you want to give the ability to evaluate the team members already assigned.  

Team Description: This is for something small that you wanted to label your team as. Some examples would be "Sales Team" or "Marketing Team."

Status: This can be set to active or inactive. When active, the team is alive and can be interacted with. When inactive, the team is dissipated and cannot be interacted with. When a team's end date is reached, it will become inactive.

When you're finished creating your team, click "Save" on the bottom right corner. This team will be put on the team section on your Truvelop app.

Teams are a very important part to Truvelop's other features. Grouping your employees together is great for keeping your tool organized. 

 

 

4. Company Executive

The leader of the organization (typically the CEO) that maintains an overall view of the company throughout
the year. This user has access to all team members’ data and dashboards. They can also assess anyone’s reports to them to maintain an overview of the company’s progress.

 

5. Managers and Teams

Like the Company Executive, the Manager is in charge of a set group of people. The Team tab can be found on the left. 

The Team tab allows you to create and customize groupings of team members. This feature is great for creating project teams.

To create a team for your company, click + New Team in the top right corner.

Fill out all of the required (*) fields to create your team. Evaluation Activity is how many evaluations you can complete within the team. The Status can be toggled to Active or Inactive. Making the team Inactive disables the team, but is still within the tool. Click Save when you're finished making your team.

You can also Edit (Pencil), or delete (Trashcan) the team.

 

6. Common Elements

The Truvelop Wall provides a social media aspect to the Truvelop app. The effectiveness of a live feed brings instant discussion and information to your company and team members!  

 

To access your Wall, go to your Dashboard. Select the My Wall tab at the top of your screen.  

 

The wall reflects a social media feed in functionality and purpose. Team members can comment and react to Recognitions of fellow team members.  

The comment button (Circled) can show and hide all comments and display how many comments the recognition has. 

To post a Recognition on the Wall, you must be able to Spark team members. Add a new Spark, and when selecting the category, select Recognition. The classification can be whatever is appropriate. The comment will be the text in the post that will be posted on the Wall.  

When you’ve finished making your recognition, select Submit.  

*SELECTING PUBLIC WILL POST YOUR RECOGNITION ON THE WALL. MAKE SURE TO CHECK THIS BEFORE SUBMITTING  

 

My Wall brings more dynamics to the Truevlop tool. Managers and employees can now share and add praise to your team members and company. Recognizing star players in your company keeps your company healthy. 

 

 

 

7. The Matrix

The Matrix is a multi-part tool that will help with the organization of your company, and the growth of the Truvelop tool in your office environment.

 

7.1 MATRIX

The Matrix is a three-part tool including Dimensions, Permissions and Actions. 

  • Dimensions are a basic grouping function that helps the tool with organization and flexibility.
  • Permissions change with each Role and they allow certain users to use the tool.
  • Actions are the different parts of the tool that permissions and roles are affected by. 

Users will be given Roles. (Executive, Manager, etc.) Each Role has their own permissions to do specific actions. This can include viewing dashboards, enabling evaluations or sparking, and anything else you can do in the tool.

We will go deeper into each aspect of the Matrix.

 

7.2 DEPARTMENTS

The Department tab is where you can create departments for your team members. This is for organizing your team members for project groups, or just company departments.
