What are the main phases of PD development in USA Class?
The four main phases are Position Details, Major Duties, Factor Levels, and PD Builder. Each request displays its current phase on the main screen.
Can I start a request from scratch or use an existing PD?
Yes. Users can upload an existing PD to use exactly as written or as a reference, or start from scratch by answering the required prompts in the Position Details workflow.
Does the system read my organizational chart or supporting files?
No. Organizational charts and supporting files uploaded to the system are transferred as attachments only and are not read by the AI for PD development. AI-generated content should be reviewed against required and supplementary supporting materials.
Can I edit AI-generated content?
Yes. Users can edit AI-generated duty titles, definitions, statements, and percentages. Users can also add their own content and regenerate suggestions in the Major Duties workflow.
What should I do if the AI suggestions are incomplete or inaccurate?
Review and revise the suggested content, remove items that do not fit the position, add your own duty categories or statements, or regenerate suggestions. AI output should always be treated as a starting point for user review.
Can I export content from USA Class?
Yes. During the workflow, users can copy content to the clipboard or export content in Microsoft Word format where that option is available.
When I create a PD in USA Class, does it populate in the USA Staffing PD library?
USA Class does not populate a completed PD in the USA Staffing PD library. This is a consideration for future development. Currently, users will be able to export their drafted PDs as Word documents and upload them to the USA Staffing PD as needed.
Does any data from USA Class flow back to USA Staffing?
USA Class does not transfer data to the USA Staffing classification module. This is a consideration for future development.
Do I have to use everything the AI generates?
No. Users are expected to refine the output and keep only the content that is accurate and appropriate for the position.
Does USA Class send notifications when work is submitted or returned?
Currently, USA Class does not include built-in system notifications. Users may need to separately notify the next reviewer or collaborator that action is needed.
What happens if my request is returned for revision?
If a request is returned, the user should review the feedback, update the request, and resubmit it when ready.
What happens after a PD is built?
After a PD is built, the agency completes any required internal review and approval steps and maintains the official position description through its normal HR processes.
Can USA Class pass completed PD data into other systems?
This is not currently supported but is being considered as a future functionality.
