To allow you to efficiently manage your compensation bands, Aeqium supports bulk operations for creating, updating, and exporting bands. All of these functions are available to admins on the the compensation bands home page via the “Bulk Update” link:

After clicking that link, you’ll see two options:

1. Rename existing bands
2. Update other fields or create new bands

We’ve split out the workflows for these use cases to make both more straightforward, and we cover each workflow below:

Renaming Existing Bands

To start, click the option to Rename existing bands and hit Next. From there, click the link to download your existing ladder and level names. Doing so will download a spreadsheet with the following columns:

• Old Ladder Name
• New Ladder Name
• Old Level Name
• New Level Name

You should only ever edit the “New…” columns, as we use the “Old…” columns to identify which Ladders/Levels you’re referring to.

To give a ladder or level a new name, simply fill in the appropriate rows of the “New…” column(s).

Please note that, if you’re renaming a ladder, you need to enter the new ladder name in all rows with the existing ladder name.

Creating and Updating Bands

To create or update bands, you will first download a template that has each of the columns listed in the “Format” section. This can either be an empty template, or one containing all of your bands. From here, you can make the modifications (add rows, modify rows, delete rows) that you want to see reflected in your bands. In order to delete ladders, levels, or bands for a particular region, you will want to use the options available in the “Advanced Settings” section of the modal.

Spreadsheet Format

The following fields are the columns expected in the spreadsheet.
