Learn FTE Tree

Take a quick first look or follow the complete training guide with worked examples.

Learn FTE Tree through a quick first look or a series of practical lessons. The quick start helps you recognize positions, employees, requests, and the dates attached to changes. The training guide follows those ideas through worked examples, from creating a position to comparing staffing and costs.

Choose the learning path for your edition, or open an individual lesson for the task you want to practice. Each lesson explains its purpose, what you need before starting, and how to check the result. Read along with the examples or use an organization prepared for training; the exercises change records. Administrators can use the later lessons to prepare shared settings, access, and approvals before a team begins work.
