Schedule ID

Displays the Schedule ID if selected in the previous Search page.

The statement control is based on the Schedule ID. Different report layouts can be specified for different Schedule Ids.

A blank Schedule ID is the default configuration if you are using the same control for all Schedule IDs or if the statement process cannot find a matching Schedule ID.

Employees Per File

Enter the number of employees to be included in each PDF file.

BI Publisher allows large print files to be split into smaller PDF files. This is to avoid potential issues while printing large files.

Note: If this field is left blank, then all the employees’ records are complied into a single file.

Available in Self Service

Select the check box to allow employees to view the statements online in Self Service.

Email Notification

Functionality will be delivered only in a future image.
