Master vs. Other Databases

The Master database is usually the database that you extracted from the system that supports your Human Resources department. Using the User Databases window you create virtual connections between each User Database file and a Master Database file based on common information contained in the Master Database and any of the other databases.

Databases extracted from Human Resources generally contain a broad set of data on the personnel in your organization and generally reference each person by a unique employee ID. This ID is the single piece of information that must be included in a Master Database. In most cases, more information will allow you to match more accounts more accurately. Thus, any other information that is available is important to be included in the Master Database: name, department, title, location, manager, and so on.
