To determine if Built automatically deletes/creates positions for terminations and new hires:

Note: Only Company Admins can adjust company settings. To learn more, refer to: Understanding User Roles & Permissions.

  1. Click your company name at the top of the main navigation, click Company Settings, then click the Imports tab.

  2. Locate the General Import Settings section and click the Edit button.

  3. Click the Termination Effect dropdown to choose what will happen to a person’s position when the individual is terminated during an import. Select Keep the Position Open or Delete the Position.

  4. Confirm if you want Built to automatically create new positions for new hires:

    •Selecting Yes means Built will create a new position for each new hire unless a position ID is entered in the HRIS job change, placing the individual in the appropriate existing position.

    •Selecting No means when a new hire is imported without entering a position ID, Built will not create a new position. The new hire can either be manually moved into a position or will be moved once a position ID is entered.
    Note: Entering position IDs in your HRIS job changes ensure that Built places imported individuals in the appropriate existing positions rather than creating new ones unnecessarily. To learn more, refer to Copying Position IDs.

  5. Click Save.
