Setting Up eProfile Manager Pagelets for the Dashboards

The Manager Dashboard and the Talent Summary dashboards consist of sets of pagelets that enables managers to quickly and easily view and update human resource and talent related information as needed.

This chapter provides an overview of dashboards and the Portal Registry, accessing direct line report information on the dashboard pagelets, related actions and self service transactions, and discusses how to:

Click to jump to parent topicDashboards and the Portal Registry

Dashboard pages are PeopleSoft pages that aggregate and display pagelets that share common or similar purposes. Dashboards provide quick access to useful information by presenting concise but feature-rich pagelets to the user.

Dashboards are created and maintained in the Portal Registry. They are accessible in the Portal Registry Structure by navigating to the PeopleTools, Portal, Structure and Content page and traversing the menu hierarchy to Portal Objects, Homepage, Tabs. The dashboard is a Content Reference that is added and maintained under the Tabs folder.

For more information on Portal Registries, see PeopleTools: PeopleTools Portal Technologies PeopleBook, “Understanding Portal Technology”.

Click to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Accessing Direct Line Report Information on the Dashboard Pagelets

The Manager Dashboard and Talent Summary dashboards enables managers to view HCM data about each of their direct reports. A manager’s direct and indirect reports are determined by the access type configured in the Direct Reports API. The Direct Reports API is a common HCM data service that obtains a list of employees (including contingent workers and persons of interest) who report to a specific employee job or position number. This data service determines a manager’s row-level security to individual employees and validates that the user has security access to the employee.

Direct Reports UI access types are used for determining who reports to whom. The access type defines the reporting relationship between the user and employees reporting to that user. The system confirms direct reports and security access.

There are seven different access types available:

Access Type

Definition

By Department Manager ID

Defines the reporting relationship based on information in the Manager ID field on the Department Profile page (DEPARTMENT_TBL_GBL).

By Dept Security Tree

Determines person data access using information from the security tree.

By Group ID

Determines data access using the group ID set up in the group build feature.

By Part Posn Mgmt Dept Mgr ID

Defines the reporting relationship by the Reports To field on the Work Location page (JOB_DATA1) and the information in the Manager ID field on the Department Profile page. This is designed for the organizations that use partial position management. The system searches for reporting relationship based on the Reports To field first, and then department Manager ID field.

By Part Posn Mgmt Supervisor

Defines the reporting relationship by both the Reports To and the Supervisor ID fields on the Work Location page. This is designed for the organizations that use partial position management. The system searches for reporting relationship based on Reports To field first, and then the Supervisor ID field.

By Reports To Position

Defines the reporting relationship based on information in the Reports To field on the Work Location page.

By Supervisor ID

Defines the reporting relationship based on information in the Supervisor ID field on the Work Location page.

See Configuring Direct Reports Functionality.

See Setting Up Access to Direct Reports Data.

For more information about security logic for the HCM Direct Reports API, see PeopleTools 8.52: PeopleTools Portal Technologies, “Developing and Configuring Related Content Services”.

Click to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Related Actions and Self Service Transactions

PeopleSoft delivers a number of related actions for Manager Self Service as well as Employee Self Service for different modules. The Manager Dashboard and Talent Summary enables managers to initiate HCM related manager self service actions for an employee through the use of the Actions menu link. This field in located in the header of the Talent Summary page and in the Direct Line Reports pagelet of Manager Dashboard.

PeopleSoft delivers Authorization as a Service (AaaS) framework to provide row level security to different transactions. HCM leverages AaaS framework to secure the different related actions using application classes.

See PeopleTools 8.52: PeopleTools Portal Technologies, “Developing and Configuring Related Content Services”.

Delivered Manager Self Service Transactions Available from the Manager Dashboard and Talent Summary Pages

Managers have the ability to access HCM related manager self service transactions using the Actions menu link for his or her subordinates from the Direct Line Reports pagelet of the Manager Dashboard

This table lists the delivered Manager Self Service menus actions available through the Manage Dashboard:

Manager can also use the Actions menu links to navigate to the Talent Summary and Company Directory pages for an employee using these actions:

The Actions menu items are configured through PeopleSoft Related Content Services. This framework enables developers and subject matter experts to link application pages with contextually relevant collaborative content. When the user clicks the Actions menu drop-down, a list of available related actions appear based on the list of actions registered in Manage Related Content and the access type associated with each action.

Actions are filtered and removed from the list when the logged in manager does not have the correct access type for the Action and employee combination.

Depending on how a transaction’s access type is registered, it is possible for the list of available Actions to vary by employee. If only one access type is used for all transactions, the Action lists will be identical for all employees.

For more information, see PeopleTools: PeopleTools Portal Technologies, “Developing and Configuring Related Content Services”.

The Manager Dashboard is a set of pagelets that enables managers to quickly and easily view and update human resource information as needed.

The following pagelets are delivered with the Manager Dashboard:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Alerts

The PeopleSoft system delivers seven manager alert types that can appear on the Alerts pagelet. Alert types include:

The Alerts pagelet can display alerts and alert level icons next to an alert if selected to show. Alert levels can be informational (no icon displays next to the alert message), warning alerts, and critical alerts. You configure which alert types and levels display.

Alert Message Generation

The Alert messages are generated based on the existing components and data. Therefore, the system checks the access type for each component when access type security is enforced. This ensures that the system fetches the correct list of direct reports for a user. The alerts are generated base on this information:

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topicUnderstanding Approvals

Approval workflow is triggered when a requester submits a transaction, such as a promotion, for approval. The application hands the transaction over to the Approval Framework, which finds the appropriate approval process definition and launches the approval workflow.

The system enables you to generate approvals for the following transaction types from the Manager Dashboard:

Manager Self Service Transactions

(USF) Federal Manager Self Service Transactions

  • Compensation Proposal

  • Job Offer

  • Job Opening

  • Manage Payable Time

  • Manage Reported Time

  • Manager Absence Approve

  • Military Rank Change

  • Nonperson Profiles

  • Performance Document

  • Person Profiles

  • Promotion

  • Reporting Change

  • Transfer

  • Federal Employee Addr Change

  • Federal Employee Mar Change

  • Federal Employee Name Change

  • Federal Full Time/Part Time Change

  • Federal Location Change

  • Federal Promotion

  • Federal Reassignment

  • Federal Reporting Change

  • Federal Retirement

  • Federal Separation

Steps to Setting Up the Approvals Pagelet

To ensure that approvals are set up properly for the Manager Dashboard, you will need to perform the following steps to generate approvals:

  1. Set up the Approvals Pagelet Setup page (Set Up HRMS, Common Definitions, Manager Dashboard, Approvals Pagelet Setup).

  2. Confirm user profile settings (PeopleTools, Security, User Profiles, User Profiles).

  3. (USF) Enable Federal functionality on the Installation Table (Set Up HRMS, Install, Installation Table, Products).

    Select the Federal check box on the Installation Table to generate or approve Federal-based approvals. When you change the settings for this check box, the application server cache must be deleted and all app servers bounced and restarted for changes to take effect.
