Using Effective-Dated User Records

PeopleSoft trees are a hierarchical structure made up of the tree’s definition along with the nodes and details (leaves) that form the parent-child relationships in the tree. The nodes and details are tied in to a user record as defined in the tree structure.

When the user record has an effective date as a part of the record’s key, then that effective date determines the criteria used for details and nodes available for use in the tree.
