Express Mode in Visual Builder Studio
HCM leverages the Express mode in Visual Builder Studio to empower your business users to customize HR processes and ensure data quality. Express mode has 2 key components: business rules and constants.
-
Business Rules is the Redwood equivalent of the Transaction
Design Studio for responsive pages. These are the uses of business rules:
- Leverage delivered best practices, or create your own rules based on various criteria, such as country and business unit.
- Make fields and regions required or optional, read-only or editable, and show or hide fields and regions depending on specific criteria.
- Constants are used to customize Redwood pages to best fit your specific business needs, such as hide the evaluation panel in Connections.
