Common Elements Used in Managing Items

Description

Free-flow text up to 30 characters.

Effective Date

Date on which a table row becomes effective; the date that an action begins. For example, if you want to close out a ledger on June 30, the effective date for the ledger closing would be July 1. This date also determines when you can view and change the information. Pages or panels and batch processes that use the information use the current row.

See PeopleTools: PeopleSoft Applications User's Guide

Language or Language Code

The language in which you want the field labels and report headings of the reports to print. The field values appear as you enter them.

Language also refers to the language spoken by an employee, applicant, or non-employee.

Process Frequency (group box)

Designates the appropriate frequency in the Process Frequency group box:

Once executes the request the next time the batch process runs. After the batch process runs, the process frequency is automatically set to Don't Run.

Always executes the request every time the batch process runs.

Don't Run ignores the request when the batch process runs.

Process Monitor

This link takes you to the Process List page, where you can view the status of submitted process requests.

Report ID

The report identifier.

Report Manager

This link takes you to the Report List page, where you can view report content, check the status of a report, and see content detail messages (which give you a description of the report and the distribution list).

Recipient's

Select to have a report print in the language defined for the recipient of the report.

Request ID

A request identification that represents a set of selection criteria for a report or process.

Run

Click this button to access the Process Scheduler request page, where you can specify the location where a process or job runs and the process output format.

See PeopleTools: PeopleSoft Process Scheduler

Run Control ID

Each run control you create receives a unique run control ID. When you select a process from a menu, a search dialog box appears, asking for a run control ID. If you are in Add mode, enter a new ID for the run control you are about to define. If you are in Update/Display mode, enter an existing run control ID or press Enter and select from the list of available run control IDs.

Specified

Select to have a report print in the language that you specify in the Language field.

Status

The options in this field are Active or Inactive. By linking status and effective date, you can retain historical information and plan future implementation. For auditing purposes, PeopleSoft encourages inactivating data that is no longer in use instead of deleting it.

User ID

The system identifier for the individual who generates a transaction.
