Labor records and person records

Similar to person records, labor records contain personal information, but are designed to store information about the worker, such as craft, skill level, hours worked, certifications, and so forth. On the other hand, person records contain personal information, and general information, such as workflow and purchasing information.

In the People application, the personal information is stored in database columns that are shared with the Labor application. You can use either the Labor application or People application to add or change the data in these fields.

Before you create a labor record, you must create a corresponding person record in the People application. A person record is unique within the database. A labor record is unique within an organization. A single person record can be listed on labor records in multiple organizations. However, a person record can only be listed on a single labor record within each organization.
