    Great to hear that you found working with the chris21 GTR process a positive experience. Following attendance at our in-house training session, many of our clients re-engineer their processes to use GTRs to assist with handling their data entry processing requirements on a regular basis. We have also had Frontier Software clients report that they use the GTR tool to extract data for reporting or use in 3rd party system. I’m assuming from your post that you have installed HR21 version 2. On 3rd June we released version 3 for HR21(Employee and Manager Self Service) – offering the ability for clients to configure their own systems, create their on pages and modify the views for various groups of staff – you must have just missed out! Good news is we are providing this as a free upgrade to clients currently running version 2 – so perhaps you could contact your client and let them know that this is now available. (We’d be happy to arrange for one of our consultants to provide you with an overview of what this product can do!) Look forward to reading your post on the new version of HR21.

    After reading about the payroll software Chris 21, I would very much like to learn about how to use this system. I am already quite proficient at MYOB software, having used it for four years for payroll and in the future I would like to become a payroll officer. However, I don’t really know where to go to learn howto use this type of software. Would there be any sort of freeware that could give me a tutorial on this software? Could you also please tell me where I might find tutorials for other major payroll software such s people soft, micropay, attache etc? thank you.

    We have been using Chris21 since 2007, unfortunately we are not utilising it too its full potential. Can this product be centrally located, i.e. in Australia, and used globally. Also how does the HR Kiosk function and more in particular the OH&S module. What does this module offer that some SharePoint development could not provide.

    I am trying to use GTR to retrieve data but the process is not robust. Does anyone have sample code to parse through GTR response and get a CSV list out of it.
    Processing of returned string takes ages to conver it into columns.
    Has anyone used Web services option? Does it provide nicely formatted output in XML format?

    The best way to get data from chris21 in CSV format is to use the report designer. You have many options for output of data and it is fast and easy to use.
