Using Profile Types

A profile type is a collection of content items that describe the qualitative attributes of a person or business entity. If a profile type is used to describe a person, it is called a person profile. If a profile type is used to describe a business entity, such as a job, business unit, or job family, it is referred to as a nonperson profile.

You can use profiles in ePerformance in these ways:

• To download content items from a nonperson profile into a document template.

• To download the content items from a nonperson profile into a performance or development document.

• To update or create an employee's person profile (ePerformance supports any person profile type for this purpose).

Note:

ePerformance supports these nonperson profile identity options for downloading content items from a nonperson profile into a document template, performance document, or development document: Job Code, Job Family, Job Function, Position, Salary Plan and Grade, Reg Region, Company, Business Unit, and Location and Department.

When items are added to an ePerformance document from a Non-Person Profile, ePerformance downloads these fields from the Profile record:

This field in a Non-Person Profile maps	To this field in ePerformance	Field Label in ePerformance
JPM_CAT_ITEM_ID	EP_JPM_CAT_ITEM_ID	Item ID
