eHR Portal Management
General masters
Maintain the lists the rest of Accord uses — locations, departments, groups, designations, religions, languages, Knowledge Center categories — and the pay cycle date.
Table of Contents
Configure General Masters holds the reference lists that appear in drop-downs across Accord. Open eHR Portal Management → Configure General Settings → Configure General Masters.

Add an entry
Open the tab
Select the master you want — for example Designation.
Add
Select the add button (for example Add New Designation), enter the name and short code, and save.
Use the search box on each tab to find an entry, and the delete icon to remove one (you'll be asked Are you sure?). For Department, pick the group it belongs to; use Filter by group to narrow the list.
Don't delete an entry that's still assigned to employees — for example a department people work in. Reassign them first.
Set the pay cycle date
On Pay Cycle, choose the Day of the Month and select Save Date. This date drives the Pay Cycle card on everyone's dashboard.
