Manage persons of your organisation

Define which people are involved in your data privacy documentation and implementation. Define which people are part of your data protection organisation who will further develop your data protection in the company.

Background

The most important part of an organisation is its employees. With the Robin Data ComplianceOS® you can record these employees as persons, assign them to specific locations, and assign their function within the organisation.

Persons are not automatically users of the system

As a rule, only those users who are part of the data protection organisation interact with the Robin Data ComplianceOS®. However, it may be useful to create additional persons in the Robin Data ComplianceOS®. For example, in a later version, the Robin Data ComplianceOS® will include a training module that will allow training to be started and managed based on the persons in the organisation.

Those persons are therefore not automatically users with access to the Robin Data ComplianceOS®. If you want to make a person a user, you must create a user account for the person. This can be done by the administrator under Organisation Management > Users

Create persons

Note on change of email addresses

New users of the Robin Data ComplianceOS® can be created from existing persons. Therefore, the email addresses must already be stored correctly at this point. A later change of the email address is not possible.

If you only want to create the person at first, but do not want to invite him/her as a user of the Robin Data ComplianceOS® yet, we recommend not to fill in the field email at first.

  1. In the main menu click on Organisational data: A dropdown menu opens.
  2. Move the mouse pointer over the menu item Organisation: Another dropdown menu opens.
  3. In the second dropdown menu click on Persons: The table view opens.
  4. Click on the button +Person: A quick start input mask opens in which the name can be recorded.
    Zwischenfenster-person-EN
  5. Fill out the fields of the quick start input mask.
  6. Click on Edit: An empty input mask will open.
  7. Fill out the input mask.
  8. Click on Save: The person has been created.

Note

If you select Without edit in the quick start window, the person will be saved in the table view without any further details, and can be edited at a later time.
