Siebel HelpDesk Guide > Setting Up Employee Self-Service >

Linking ESS Forms, Literature, and Solutions to Employee Directory


End users can request changes to personal information within the Employee Directory using the Request Changes button on the Employee Profile Locator Profile applet, the Employee Profile Locator My Profile applet, and the Employee Locator Job Info applet. Clicking Request Changes takes users to the InfoCenter, which displays ESS Forms, Literature, and Solutions.

Administrators can associate Employee Self-Service forms, literature, and solutions to the Request Changes buttons by using Catalog Administration. The catalog used in this case is the Siebel application Employee Center.

To link ESS Forms to Request Changes buttons

  1. Navigate to the Site Map > Administration - Catalog view.
  2. In the Catalog Administration list, query for Employee Center.
  3. In the Employee Center record, click the link in the Name field.
  4. From the Category detail form, navigate to the desired category.
