Hi Andrea,

The HR Import tool has been designed to provide a great deal of flexibility on the information it can process and the source of that information.  This means there isn't really a check list of requirements of your HRIS, it simply needs to be able to either export your user, job assignment, position, organisation and/or competency data in csv format, or be configured to make that information available in a read only database format for Totara to 'collect'.  

The Help documentation on data sources offers some further detail on these formats and the mandatory fields Totara requires in the data file/export.

I hope this helps!

Kind regards,

Meredith

PS - Good luck on your HRIS procurement! While the Procurement Guide we produced earlier this year is about learning technology, there might be some more general technology procurement tips you might find helpful in there for your HRIS project.
