Setting Up Profile Identity and Association Options

To set up profile identity options and profile association options for your organization, use the Profile Identity Options (JPM_RLAT_SETUP) and the Profile Association Options (JPM_RLAT_ASC_SETUP) components.

These topics discuss how to set up profile identity and association options.

Page Name	Definition Name	Usage
Profile Identity Options Page	JPM_RLAT_SETUP	Define profile identity options, which can be linked to profile types. Entities include job codes, job functions, job families, people, and salary grades. The entities enabled on this page determine which options are available on the Identities page of the Profile Type component that defines the structure of a non-person profile. For example, if you enable Job Codes you can set up a profile type that is linked to job code. A set of default profile identity options is delivered but you can add to the list according to your requirements.
Profile Association Options Page	JPM_RLAT_SETUP	Define the entities external to the Manage Profiles business process to which you can link profile types. One association option is delivered that enables you to link a profile type to ePerformance templates. The addition of other associations would require customizations to leverage it.
