In this guide we’ll look at how you can use Vision to distribute Base Pay Structures from your Central System to other Schools in your trust.
Access: In order to perform this process, you will require access to Central – Base Pay Structures within your Vision user account.

When logged in to Vision select Central from the left hand menu.
Select Base Pay Structures.
This will load a list of the Base Pay Structures that you have available on your Central System. Find the Base Pay Structure you would like to Distribute in the list and select it using the tick box on the left, you can select multiple Base Pay Structures if you would like to Distribute more than one.
Once you’ve selected all required Base Pay Structures click Distribute.
In the pop-up that appears, use the radio buttons to filter the Schools list in the field below, you can select to view All Schools, Phases or School Set.
Once you’ve filtered the list you can then use the Schools field to select the Schools you would like to Distribute the Base Pay Structures to. All Schools that meet the filter criteria you have chosen will be selected by default. If you do not wish to Distribute the Base Pay Structure to all the Schools in the list you can clear the selection by clicking in the field and then pressing the backspace button. You can then select the required Schools by clicking on them to select them.
Once you’re happy click Submit.
Click Proceed on the Warning message.
On the next screen, wait for the Progress bar to get to 100% and then click Close.
This completes the process and when you log in to the School Systems that you have distributed the Base Pay Structures to they should be listed within Config > Administration > Base Pay Structures. All Versions, Scale Point Groups and Spine Points will have transferred.
Note: If there is a Base Pay Structure with the same Code on the destination School then it will be overwritten with the current and historical data from the Base Pay Structure that you are importing. If this is the case and you would like to maintain the historical data from the existing Base Pay Structure then you may want to consider changing the Code.
