You can get help with several of the formula types you are processing in Flex HRM:

formulas on pay codes in HRM Payroll
formulas in annual leave agreements
event formulas in HRM Time.

Flexie also understands the context you are in. For example, if you are in the pay code register, Flexie assumes you want help with a pay code formula.

You can access the function in two ways:

Via the chat with Flexie, in the same way as when you ask other questions.
Via a button directly next to the formula field. This opens a dialogue box with Flexie without leaving the view you are working in.

Create a formula based on your description

You can describe in plain text what you want the formula to do, and Flexie will propose how it should look. You can also paste text directly from a collective agreement and ask Flexie to translate it into a formula.

An example is sickness deduction from day 15, which is often a complex calculation with many conditions. Instead of interpreting the agreement text and building the formula from scratch yourself, you paste the text. Then ask Flexie for a proposal for a formula you can use on the pay code for sickness deduction from day 15. You will then receive a proposal that you can adjust, copy or use directly.

Let Flexie explain the formula in plain language

Sometimes you don't need a new formula, but simply want to understand one that already exists. You can point to an existing formula and ask Flexie to explain it. You will then get a description showing step by step what the formula actually does.

This is particularly valuable when you:

take over a setting from a colleague.
need to quality assure a solution before a new period.
want to be sure what the formula does before you change anything.
want to understand how a formula works.

Troubleshoot when the result is wrong

If you get a result that you did not expect, you can ask Flexie to go through the formula with you. Flexie explains how the calculation works and what governs the result. This helps you find where the error is more quickly – for example a condition that is activated at the wrong time or a variable that retrieves the wrong information.

Instead of experimenting, you get a direct response as to why the result turned out the way it did.
