Change the HR Master and PR Employees to launch with no employee being populated.

A lot of times this first employee has incorrect changes made since they are the first employee when the forms are launched.  I think it would cut done on the amount of errors by not having this first employee show up when the forms are launch.  A blank form would force you to chose the employee that you would like to effect.

  We actually created a dummy employee to avoid these issues.  So that's the one that populates when we open.

  I think this applies across multiple forms within Viewpoint. If GRID is the preferred view for a form, why should it be in 'edit mode' when it opens? GRID implies the user wants to see multiple lines of data. If the form opens in 'Info' mode, I understand the 'open in edit mode' thought process. But not if GRID is the default (for the user/system).

  I agree too.  We added a fake employee record with employee #0 and made inactive so we didn't accidentally edit someone's record.

  I strongly agree with this, our owner is the lucky record that shows up each time these forms are opened.
