While we strive to make WorkTango Imports quick and easy to do, we also recognize errors can occur. As such, we have provided the list below of potential errors and troubleshooting steps for you to follow.


Seem overwhelming? Don't worry! Our support team is happy to help troubleshoot these errors as well, so feel free to reach out to us at any point for assistance.



Errors

Description & Possible Solutions

Departments, Locations & Groups


“countryNotFound”: “Country not found for identifier {{provider}}: {{key}}.“

“departmentNotFound”: “Department not found for identifier {{provider}}: {{key}}.“

“groupNotFound”: “Group not found for identifier {{provider}}: {{key}}.“

“locationNotFound”: “Location not found for identifier {{provider}}: {{key}}.“,

Issue: 

  • WorkTango doesn’t recognize the country, department, location, or group. 


Troubleshooting: 

  • Review the Locations, Departments and Groups in the platform for any potential DLGs that already exist.
  • Determine if the issue is spelling related or a duplicative key.
  • If able, download the file and search for the identified value. (Always permanently delete the file after use - SOC-2 Compliance).



Possible Solutions:

  • Update the user in your HRIS with the appropriate information.

  • Add the Department or Group in the platform.


Managers 


“cannotAssignManagerNotFound”: “Cannot assign manager with {{provider}}: {{key}}.  Nobody with that {{provider}} exists.“


 “managerCannotBeSelf”: “A person cannot be their own manager.“


“managerCircularHierarchy”: “Manager {{provider}}: {{key}} is in this person’s reporting chain.“


“managerNotFound”: “Cannot find manager with {{provider}}: {{key}}.“


“secondaryManagerNotFound”: “Cannot find secondary manager with {{provider}}: {{key}}.”


“cannotHaveMultipleSurveyRoles”: “A user cannot have multiple SURVEY roles.“


Issue

Several issues could be flagged for managers: 

  • Identifier provided is not recognized. The row will process, but there will be no stored manager for that user.

  • Manager cannot be set due to a circular relationship. (e.g. a manager can’t have a direct report that is also their manager or in their hierarchy of managers)

  • Secondary manager identifier provided is not recognized. The row will process, but there will be no stored secondary manager for that user.

  • Multiple survey roles - S&I integrated customers cannot have more than one role of Survey_Admin or Survey_Custom. They cannot have both.


Note: Sometimes you’ll see a bad manager error during the file processing. This might go away after the file continues processing, as we have found the missing manager later in the file. 


Possible Solutions:

  • Identifier provided is not recognized. 

    • Solution: Fix the identifier or, if not necessary to fix, ignore the error. 

  • Manager cannot be set due to a circular relationship. 

    • Solution: Identify the manager hierarchy / relationships and remove the manager causing the issue or ignore the error. 

  • Secondary manager identifier provided is not recognized. 

    • Solution: Fix the identifier or, if not necessary to fix, ignore the error. 

  • Multiple survey roles - more than one survey role has been set for a user. 

    • Solution: Select only one survey role of Survey_Custom or Survey_Admin or leave it alone and adjust in the HRIS
