Project Overview

Iqra Technology built a SharePoint Online Employee Change Status portal with Power Apps intake forms and Power Automate approval workflows. HR teams and line managers can initiate any employee change, route it through the appropriate approvers, and maintain a complete audit trail — all within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.

Client Requirements

  • Digitise all employee change request types (promotion, transfer, contract amendment, exit).
  • Implement role-based form fields based on change type selected.
  • Route requests automatically to relevant HR Business Partner, department head, and finance.
  • Send real-time email and Teams notifications to approvers and the employee.
  • Maintain a full audit trail of all changes with timestamps and approver identities.
  • Integrate with existing HRIS for automated data updates post-approval.
  • Provide HR dashboard for tracking all open and closed change requests.
  • Ensure data privacy compliance and role-based access to sensitive records.

Challenges & Solutions

Problem 1Paper-based change request forms required physical delivery to HR, causing processing delays of up to three weeks. Late changes frequently resulted in payroll discrepancies and system data mismatches.
SolutionDesigned a Power Apps digital form with conditional logic that adapts based on the change type selected. Submissions are captured instantly in SharePoint and trigger an automated workflow — eliminating paper, delivery delays, and lost forms.
Problem 2Approval routing was inconsistent — different managers followed different sign-off procedures, and there was no policy-enforced hierarchy for who needed to approve which type of change.
SolutionBuilt a Power Automate routing engine that maps each change type to a defined approval chain stored in SharePoint configuration lists. All approvers receive sequential or parallel requests automatically, with escalation timers built in.
Problem 3HR had no centralised dashboard. Tracking the status of multiple simultaneous change requests required chasing approvers via email — with no visibility into bottlenecks or completion rates.
SolutionDeployed a Power BI dashboard embedded in SharePoint giving HR real-time visibility across all active change requests — by type, department, stage, and ageing — enabling proactive management and reporting.
