When importing data from an HRIS, you can assign people to existing positions using position IDs, maintaining valuable position history. This article explains how to retrieve position IDs when connecting HRIS job changes to Built positions.
We recommend configuring how Built handles positions for imported terminations and new hires to determine if positions are automatically deleted or created.
There are several ways to retrieve Position IDs in Built.
To retrieve a single position ID from the org chart:
Navigate from the main menu to the Org Chart page. If your official chart is not initially displayed, click the chart dropdown in the upper left corner to select your official chart. Locate the position by moving/navigating the org chart or searching the org chart. Hover over the position card to click the three-dot menu, then click Edit Position. The position ID will be displayed in the upper left corner of the Edit Position window.
To retrieve multiple position IDs from the org chart datasheet:
To view your chart as a datasheet, locate your visualization tools in the upper left corner and click the Datasheet tab at the top of the chart. Locate the needed position IDs from the Position ID data column by scrolling your datasheet or utilizing the data filters at the top of the page.
If the Position ID column is not displayed on your datasheet, click the equalizer icon in your chart’s visualization tools, select the Position ID checkbox, and then click the Apply button.
To copy position IDs directly from the browser extension:
If you have the Built browser extension, you can search for open positions and copy the position ID directly without navigating away from your HRIS.
To retrieve one or more position IDs from the Positions table:
The Positions table is only available to customers of our Position Management module.
Navigate from the main menu to the Position Management page. Locate the needed position IDs by scrolling or searching the table. Click the three-dot menu next to the position ID, then click Copy Position ID.
Connecting Job Changes to Built Positions
After copying the position ID(s) in Built, you can paste the position ID(s) where needed when connecting job changes in your HRIS with Built positions.
