Enhancements of the Custom Role Mapping functionality
Custom Role Mapping is a key functionality of the Aura platform, allowing users to customize roles based on their specific use case
- This month, we have officially launched the ‘Upload from CSV/ Excel’ and enabled the ‘Save’ Feature in the Custom Role Mapping functionality
- These two feature allow users to further streamline the Custom Role Mapping process
- ‘Upload from CSV/ Excel’ Feature allows users to perform custom role mapping on Excel and upload the file onto Aura. This significantly speeds up and simplify the role mapping process
- ‘Save’ Feature automatically saves custom role mapping progress in the background, allowing for easy reverting if needed
Top use cases for custom role mapping include:
- Simplify functions categories (combining similar roles together)
- Add granularity (e.g. split R&D into Discovery, Phase 1/2, Phase 3)
- Doers / Watchers / Thinkers analysis
- Core vs Support functions analysis
- GenAI impact analysis
