Defining Workforce Group Sets

A workforce group set is a collection of groups. You can define sets of workforce groups using the Workforce Group Set component.

Note: Workforce group sets can be used to define security roles. Workforce group sets are not used in the other workforce analytic applications at this time.

This section discusses how to set up workforce group sets.

Use for Security Groups

Select to create EPM security role definitions based on the groups within the group set. When you run the group set engines, the system verifies whether this check box is selected. If it is, the system defines and creates a security role for each organization tree or position table-based group (department or position) selected in the group set.

The system allows only one position-based and one organization-tree-based group set for which the Use for Security Groups check box is selected. You can define multiple groups based in Organization trees or the Position table (POSITION_D00), but only one of each when the security check box is selected.

Organization Tree Defined

You can define a group set based on the Organization (Department) tree. To do this, select Organization Tree Defined, and then select the appropriate tree name.

Tree Name

Prompt list values are from the PF_METATREE_TBL table.

Position Table Defined

For security, the group is defined as all of the people in the departments who roll up to the specified department. The manager may be included in the group, depending on the department that the manager is in. You can define a group set based on the Position table. To do this, select Position Table Defined. If the group set is predominately for use in security, then the group is defined as all of the people below who roll up to a manager (or position). Whether the manager is included in the group should be defined in the Position table.

Warning! When more than one is person assigned to an employee's Reports To position in the Position table, the Build Workforce Groups Application Engine process ends abnormally. If having multiple Reports To positions for a single employee is valid (for example, if the organization uses job-sharing), review the data and match each employee with a single Reports To position.

Manually Defined

If you have a small group set, you can define it manually. To do this, select Manually Defined. Then select a group ID from the prompt list values, which are stored in the WA_GRPSET_MN_VW table. This table limits the selection to groups that have a manager ID selected on the Group Definition page. To include multiple groups in the group set, add rows of data.
