Flexible Hierarchy Validation

Shared by Sterling • March 30, 2026

We’ve added more flexibility to how you set up your organization’s hierarchy. You now have the choice to validate your manager hierarchy during a full data import as usual, or as a standalone step after your employee data has been synced/imported.

What’s new:

  • Set up on your terms: Choose to validate your hierarchical reporting structure during a full import, or use this new option to validate the hierarchy once your data is already in the platform—no additional full imports required.
  • Streamlined for SFTP: If you use an automated sync, you can now complete your initial hierarchy setup directly from the users page, removing the need for a "one-off" manual full import.
  • Easier data compliance: Finalize your reporting lines without needing to access or edit raw data files, making it simpler to adhere to strict internal data privacy policies.
