sample HCM Data Loader file:
METADATA|PayrollElementDefinition|ElementCode|LegislativeDataGroupName|FrequencyId|TimeDefinitionType|EffectiveStartDate|EffectiveEndDate

In the example:You can check whether the process populates the time definition in the
Frequency field on the Element Summary page in Element Details. You
must assign balance dimensions to balances by linking _REL_BD_TDPTD to the
balances that the element allocation enabled fields feed.
