Field or Control

Definition

Fluid Position Management

Select to enable the Manage Position pages to view, update, or create positions using fluid. If this option is deselected, when a user clicks the Manage Position Tile, the system will issue a warning to enable Fluid Position Management.

Note: In order for users to access the Manage Position pages in fluid, you must also assign the Manage Positions Fluid (HCCPHRFL3100) permission list to the administrator role managing positions.

Manage Primary Incumbent

Select to identify and track primary incumbents for your positions. This option is deselected (off) by default. If this option is deselect, when a user clicks the Manage Primary Incumbents Tile, the system will issue a warning that the user is not authorized to access the component and to enable Manage Primary Incumbent on this Installation table.

Note: To track primary incumbent information, you must enable Fluid Position Management by selecting the Fluid Position Management check box on this page.

When you select this check box, the page displays the Primary Incumbent Selection Method section on this page. The primary incumbent selection method allows you to use the delivered selection method, or override the delivered method and use a method that suits your organization requirements to identify primary incumbents.

Note: To grant users Manage Primary Incumbent functionality in fluid, you must assign the Primary Incumbent Admin role to the administrator managing primary incumbents.

Important! When you first enable the Manage Primary Incumbent functionality, you will need to run the one-time Sync Incumbents (POSN_PRI_SYNC) process by submitting a process scheduler request (PeopleTools > Process Scheduler > System Process Requests) to bring data from classic position management and have the system assign a primary incumbent for every position in the database wherever an incumbent is available for a position.

Primary Incumbent Selection Method

This section is available when you select the Manage Primary Incumbent check box.

PeopleSoft Position Management delivers logic to auto assign a primary incumbent when the current primary incumbent leaves the position. You can accept the delivered logic, or use this section to enter your own custom app class method to define the selection logic.
