Virtual Roster Integrations
Introduction to the types of Virtual Roster integrations with UKG Pro Workforce Management, Dimensions HCM, and InTouch clocks.
Demographics Export
Demographic export to Virtual Roster integrations
HCM is the system of record for time and attendance data, and people information for employees. Person records include demographic attributes such as name, address, primary job, hire date, termination date.
This integration exports data in person records to a flat file for import by Virtual Roster.
Typically, you run this integration once a day to update records for all active and newly hired employees.
Employee Job History Export
Employee Job History Export to Virtual Roster integrations
HCM is the system of record for job history data.
This integration exports employees' past, present, and future job assignments to a flat file for import by Virtual Roster. Primary jobs are exported automatically, and you can include jobs in employees' job transfer sets.
Use a hyperfind query to select the employees whose records are exported.
Typically, you run this integration once a day.
Timecard Export
Timecard export to Virtual Roster integrations
UKG Pro WFM is the system of record for timecard totals.
This integration exports all timecard totals — including punches, paid time off , unpaid breaks, and timecard edits such as role transfers — to a flat file for import by Virtual Roster. Virtual Roster uses this information for reports and to generate workload.
Use a hyperfind query to select the employees whose records are exported for the previous and current pay periods.
Accruals Export
HCM and accruals export to Virtual Roster integrations
HCM is the system of record for accruals balances.
This integration exports all accruals balances — such as paid time off (PTO) and sick time — for employees to a flat file for import by Virtual Roster at the end of each pay period. Virtual Roster uses these balances for predictions and approval of time-off requests.
The balances are the total of all accruals, minus deductions and forfeitures, up to that date. It does not include deductions for requests not yet taken such as an approved time-off request for later.
Typically, you run this integration once each pay cycle after payroll has been processed. You can run this integration more frequently if needed.
Schedules and Time Off Import
Virtual Roster import of schedules and time-off requests
Virtual Roster is the system of record for schedules and time-off requests.
This integration imports the following schedule data from Virtual Roster by way of API calls:
-
Scheduled shifts
- Start and end dates and times
- (Optional) Break start and end dates and times
- Job transfers with location and role
- Work rule
-
Time-off requests: Time-off requests in UKG Pro WFM are not used. Time-off requests are imported from Virtual Roster as paycode edits.
- Type of time off
- Start time
- Hours
- Job transfers with location and role
- Work rule
This is an API-based integration that is installed on-premises with Virtual Roster.
This integration runs continuously as schedules change in Virtual Roster.
InTouch clocks
Virtual Roster import from time clocks
UKG Pro WFM is the system of record for time-clock data.
The UKG Pro WFM services team configures the clocks to get the following data — in real time — from Virtual Roster (MyVR).
View Schedule
View schedule in Virtual Roster
The View Schedule Smart View gets live schedule data from MyVR by configuring the transaction details in Smart View. Offline view of schedules is not supported and must be disabled.
Alternately, View Schedule can continue to get data from UKG Pro WFMbut by indicating that this data may be outdated.
View Table
View table assignments in Virtual Roster
The View Table Smart View can get real-time assignments to casino tables from Virtual Roster (Pit Manager). Typically, clocks that are configured for this have no other buttons, so can be implemented during configuration of Pit Manager.
Request Time Off
Time-off requests in Virtual Roster
Virtual Roster is the system of record for time-off requests.
- MyVR provides real-time quotas, real-time predicted balances, and current schedule data when you create requests.
- However, InTouch clocks cannot display enough information for a similar feature set.
- Time-off requests cannot be submitted from InTouch clocks.
View Accrual Balances
