3 Understanding HCM Portlets

This chapter discusses HCM portlets that have been added for this release. This section of the guide should be used in conjunction with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Human Capital Management Self-Service Implementation Guide.

3.1 Understanding the HCM Portlet

  • Expiring Certifications

  • Headcount

  • Health & Safety Cases

  • Overtime Report

  • Time Attendance Trends

  • Upcoming Reviews

3.1.1 HR - Expiring Certifications (P05114PT)

The Expiring Certifications portlet provides a tracking mechanism for certifications related to competency. This portlet displays certification information in a grid format with columns for:

  • Alpha Name

  • Competency

  • Expiration Date

This portlet has two mode options based on its configuration:

  • Supervisor

    When a user logs in to this version, the portlet will display Expiring Certifications for the Employees reporting to the logged in user.

  • HR

    When an HR logs in, they will be able to see Expiring Certificates for all users/supervisors.

    Note:

    The HR mode has an additional Supervisor entry field on the portlet.

Expiring Certifications portlet considerations:

  • No configuration option/preference will be provided to enter a supervisor's user ID.

  • The option to configure the portlet in HR mode or Supervisor mode will be provided as a configuration option.

  • The records will be first sorted based on the Expiration Date and then the User Name for the same Expiration Date.

  • Clicking the Employee Name in a grid record will take the user to P05114 application and display the certification details.

  • The Supervisor Search Box and Find button will be displayed ONLY in HR mode and will enable the HR to filter the records for a given supervisor.

  • A visual assist will be provided for the Supervisor Search Box.

3.1.2 HR - Headcount (P06401PT)

Headcount portlet considerations:

  • A company will have to be mentioned in the Personalizations. If not mentioned, details for all BUs inside all companies will be displayed.

  • It will not be feasible to ask for a list of BUs to be considered, therefore, such a personalization will not be provided.

  • Only Employees (Search type E) will be included.

  • A Portlet Preference will be provided to seek "Position Budget Fiscal year" from the user.

  • Total of FTEs for all position for each BU will represent the Budgeted FTE.

  • The current FTE will be compared against the Budgeted FTE.

  • The preference for Position Budget Fiscal Year will display irrespective of whether the company uses Position Control.

  • The Budgeted FTE Bar will be displayed ONLY if the company uses Position Control and a valid year is entered in the preference for the same.
