"How do I find a deleted person?"

Once a person ends their employment, you'll usually delete them after you've done their final paystub. Sometimes, however, you may need to come back and open their details, after deleting them.

"How do you keep your software reliable?"

Software reliability

Ever wondered how we, at 1st Money, keep our software so reliable? In short, we do it by every day:

• Exactly matching all 4,300 of HMRC's model tax calculations,
• Publishing 255 product videos,
• Running over 6,000 click-navs,
• Checking over 22,000 asserts,
• And running over 1,000 delves.

The video's numbers are up-to-date as of the 1st of December, 2023. Keep watching, to see how it all works.

Tax scenarios

We test our tax calculations by inventing 15 different imaginary taxpayers, shown (at the top of the screen).

Each one has different settings. For example, how many hours the imaginary taxpayer works, how much is paid, whether the imaginary taxpayer's married, whether there's children, and much more. We use our 15 different imaginary taxpayers to exactly match all 4,300 of HMRC's model tax calculations.

Each tax calculation is matched to the penny, giving us recognition from HMRC that our tax software is 100% correct. And, of course, we sit down and re-verify them all with HMRC every year.

Product videos

So far, we've made 255 tutorial videos, explaining every part of the 1st Money product.

Everywhere in the 1st Money product, you'll find video buttons . When you click one, a video pops out from the side. In our help pages, almost every sentence can be clicked on to show a video explaining that step.

To make it all work perfectly, we've built our own video player, and video creation software. The videos mean that any customer that wants help can immediately find answers.

Questions and answers

We've written 990 questions and answers, explaining even more parts of the 1st Money product.

The questions and answers are searchable through an AI powered search box. When you type a question, the AI interprets your question's meaning, and then shows you the best matching answers.

It's fast, and it's accurate, and we're always adding more answers.

Elements

To make our software look beautiful on both laptops and smartphones, we've built our own library of 40 software widgets. Each widget has its own testing page, showing the different ways it can be used. The testing pages help us spot if any of the elements has any errors.

Click tests

Every night, we use robots to do 10,000 clicks through the 1st Money product on 6,000 pathways. The clicks push our test server's 8-core CPU to 100% for over 10 hours straight.

On each pathway, a tiny robot clicks a different path through the 1st Money product as fast as the CPU allows. It's like you're seeing on-screen right now. If the robot spots anything wrong, it takes some screenshots and writes some notes about the error. Using the error notes, our software engineers then make fixes.

By using click tests, bugs are usually spotted by us first, and not by our customers.

Engineering tools

At 1st Money, all our software engineers use specialised engineering tools for their day-to-day programming.

Every time a software engineer finishes making changes to the software, the software engineer tools analyze the code the software engineer's written. The analysis warns the software engineer about errors like missing functions, unused variables, and much more.

TypeScript

Every software engineer, twice a day, runs a script that compiles all 200 of our TypeScript files, and then scans them with ESLint. We use TypeScript to make sure any JavaScript errors get caught by us first, and not by our customers.

Unit tests

Every software engineer, twice a day, runs thousands of asserts to test our software. The asserts include 7,000 tax asserts, and 15,000 system asserts.

Each dot you can see on the screen represents about twenty asserts. Altogether, the 22,000 asserts take about 1 minute to run. The asserts make sure that day-to-day software changes don't accidentally break our existing code.

Delves

Every software engineer, twice a day, runs 1,000 code checks, taking about 2 minutes for the entire set. The code checks scan the 6,000 files in our codebase, looking for things to improve in the code, including:

• Code that's too complicated,
• Things that need to be named more clearly,
• And much more.

The delves mean that each day's changes are continuously scrubbed clean.

Confirm URLs

Every software engineer, twice a day, runs a spider that automatically opens and tests a sample of over 500 pages, spread across 1st Money's entire system. It takes about 1 minute each time, to test them all.

The spider helps make sure that obvious problems like dead links or page-load errors are caught by us first, and not by our customers.

Documentation quality

Every software engineer, twice a day, runs a script that scans all our documentation and help, searching for sentences that can be improved. We check for things like:

• Spelling,
• Abbreviations,
• Sentences that're too long,
• And much more.

We hope you love it!

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about how we keep our software reliable at 1st Money. We've loved building it, and hope you love it too!

"What's search inside, and how do I use it?"

Sometimes it's hard to remember where a setting's found. Search inside lets you use the search box to find any setting inside any item. For example, you could use it to quickly find the join date of a person, if you'd forgotten which tab it was on.

6. Then use your arrow keys to go down to the exact row you want, and press: Enter
7. And finally, you'll see that you've been taken to exactly the place in the software, for the item, without having to remember how to navigate there.

Keep in mind that:

• In most cases, it's a person that you'll want to search inside of.
• The person "Search inside" can also be done from the person tab.
• To find it, go to the person tab, and you'll see the "Search inside" box directly below their portrait.
• Doing "Search inside" from the person tab works exactly the same as doing it from anywhere else.

For advanced usage:

• If you hover your mouse over the "Search inside" button, you'll see that it's shortcut is the Tab key.
• If you combine the "Search inside" shortcut, with other shortcuts, like your arrow keys and Enter, you can search for anything in your org, using only your keyboard.
• Also, to go back up a level, and out of "Search inside", press the Backspace key.
• Give "Search inside" a try. It makes navigating around 1st Money really fast, especially if you combine it with: "Global search"

And that's it! That's everything you need to know about how to show bookmarks when a person ends their working day!

"How do I use inserts in a bookmark?"

Inserts are an advanced feature. With inserts, you can add each person's unique email, email prefix, employee ID, and more, into the address of any bookmark.

To add an insert in to an existing bookmark's address:

1. First, select the bookmark on: MenuBookmarks
2. Once you've decided on the bookmark you want to change, click its "Edit" link.
3. Once it's open, type in your changes to the "Address" so it's ready for the insert.
4. Then click the "Show inserts" button:
5. And you'll now see the "Inserts" box.
6. Open the "Inserts" box, and select the insert you want.
7. You'll see that it's added the insert text (in square brackets) to the point of the "Address" where you left your cursor.
8. Now click: Save
9. And finally, go back and find the bookmark in the menu. You'll see that it's automatically replaced the insert tag with your unique details. For example, your unique email.

Keep in mind that:

• Only inserts that don't include sensitive info can be included into a bookmark address.
• However, if the data you want to append isn't listed, you can always use the "Employee ID" field.

To learn more:

• About using the "Employee ID" field, watch the video on: Employee ID

7. And finally, if you change your mind and want the bookmark back again, click Undelete, and it's immediately undeleted.

"How do I see changes made to a person, project, or anything else?"

• To find out who your payroll admins are, click Menu, then click: List payroll admins
