Entering an Action

Available actions depend on:

• The user's role.

  If you select the Action Authorization Management check box on the FPS Installation Parameters 1 page, actions are limited to the action groups that are available to the user. You define the action group/user relationship on the Action Groups and Action Authorization pages.

• The component.

  Only actions that are authorized for the component can be selected. You authorize Actions on the FPS Action page.

• The employee's status.

  Only actions that are authorized for the employee's status can be selected. This relationship is established on the Status/Actions page.

• The employee's civil service position.

  The system controls whether the employee's civil service position permits the action on the effective date. The relationship between action and civil service position originates on the CS Position/Actions page.

To enter an action:

1. Access the Overall Data page for the desired component.

2. Enter the effective date and sequence number for the action.

   The civil service position does not determine the effective sequence.

3. Select the action.

4. Select the action status, either Actual or Request.
