Nakisa’s Hanelly 2021.R2 release introduces a range of new features and enhancements that elevate the efficiency of organizational design and workforce modeling. These updates streamline processes, enhance data management, and offer smoother integrations with HRIS systems. Whether you’re looking to optimize your organizational structure or improve data accuracy, this release provides powerful tools to transform the way you manage your workforce.

New and Exciting Features

Custom In-Chart Analytics
One of the standout features in the 2021.R2 update is the ability to integrate custom analytics directly into the org chart. This functionality allows you to perform operations such as sums and averages on any field within your data, which can then be visualized on the org chart. This is particularly useful for companies bringing custom fields from their ERP systems into Hanelly. The feature enables organizations to create additional KPIs, track performance, and analyze structural changes based on real-time data from the org chart itself.

How to Get the Most Out of Custom In-Chart Analytics
This feature is especially beneficial for organizations that need to analyze and quantify their organizational structure more effectively. By leveraging custom fields, companies can go beyond default metrics to generate new insights, making it easier to assess organizational performance during modeling and reorganization efforts. Custom in-chart analytics provide more flexibility, allowing you to track data points and assess performance through customizable metrics.

Key Enhancements for Operational Efficiency

Chief Position Transfer Enhancement
For organizations that utilize complex reporting structures, transferring a chief or manager along with their team to a different unit can be a time-consuming and error-prone process. Nakisa’s new enhancement simplifies this task. It now allows managers to easily transfer positions and their corresponding reporting relationships with a simple drag-and-drop during scenario modeling. This functionality ensures that no employee is left out of the reorganization process, saving time and reducing manual errors.

How to Leverage the Chief Position Transfer Enhancement
When reorganizing functions or creating new reporting structures, you can automatically apply transfers to ensure high-level consistency. This eliminates the need for manual review and re-entry of reporting relationships, allowing for smoother transitions and more efficient planning.

One-to-Many Configuration for Security
As organizations expand globally, the need for different levels of access across regions and teams becomes essential. The new One-to-Many configuration for security enhances the matrix security model by enabling users to define their roles based on specific data fields, such as location or function. This feature allows one person to manage access to multiple groups, ensuring that data is shared securely without bottlenecks.

How to Leverage One-to-Many Security Configuration
For companies using a matrix security model, this update reduces the need for complex customizations. The configuration makes it easier to assign roles, improve data security, and streamline collaboration across different teams, all while maintaining strict access controls.

Integration and User Experience Enhancements

Integration Links
To improve workflow and streamline operations, Nakisa’s 2021.R2 update introduces Integration Links, which allow seamless connections between Hanelly and other HR software applications like SuccessFactors or Workday. These links provide quick access to specific pages or modules within external systems, making it easier to perform updates on the fly without switching between applications.

How to Leverage Integration Links
This feature is a game-changer for organizations with large HR tech stacks. By using Integration Links, you can quickly make transactional changes directly from Hanelly, saving time and reducing the need for manual data entry. For example, updating job titles or contact information can now be done in seconds, improving the accuracy of your workforce data without having to navigate multiple systems.

Power User Role
The new Power User role provides greater flexibility by allowing users to access both the user and admin applications. With single sign-on authentication, Power Users can manage both front-end and back-end functionalities, simplifying operations and reducing reliance on technical support.

How to Leverage the Power User Role
Power Users can navigate between the user interface and admin functions, enabling them to perform scenario modeling and backend tasks independently. This reduces delays and improves operational efficiency by allowing more people to manage complex tasks without needing additional technical resources.

Manage Scenario Ownership
In a collaborative environment where multiple stakeholders may own different parts of a scenario, it’s important to have a smooth transition when ownership needs to be reassigned. The new Manage Scenario Ownership feature allows administrators to transfer ownership quickly if a team member leaves or becomes unavailable.

How to Leverage Manage Scenario Ownership
This feature allows HR teams to seamlessly reassign scenario ownership with just a few clicks, ensuring that projects stay on track even during personnel changes. It streamlines collaboration and helps keep organizational design efforts moving forward without interruption.

Technical Improvements and Performance Enhancements

IDoc Listener Enhancements
Nakisa has significantly enhanced its IDoc listener to improve data transfer from ERP systems. With faster monitoring, encryption, and compression, the updated listener boosts the performance and security of data transfers.

How to Leverage the IDoc Listener
