Qualifiers for Event Actions

This feature lets you to specify the type of element entry and HCM rate changes you want to monitor and get notified about.

Define the qualifying conditions that must be met to generate an event action notification. For example, define an event group that only generates event notifications for Salary element entry changes. This feature is available for features that use the event action model, such as HCM Rates.

Qualifier Attributes

When you define qualifiers for an event group, you need to specify the following components for the EventGroup.dat file in HCM Data Loader (HDL). The event group must also be associated to an event action.

Name	Description	Required?
Date Track Events	Identifies the entity to be monitored. For example, Element Entry.	Mandatory
Event Value Changes	Identifies the change values to be monitored. You must define these as 'include' or 'exclude' rules in HDL. For example, a US customer can indicate they only want to 'include' input value changes from California to New York. When you don’t have a requirement to monitor a specific value change, you should enter include <ANY_VALUE> to <ANY_VALUE>. Note: You can’t enter a mix of include and exclude rules for an entity. When you create an ‘include’ record, the application automatically creates an 'exclude' record (for all other state input value changes), so that you don't need to enter it explicitly. Currently, you must enter the ID of the value. For example, when tracking assignment location changes, you may opt to only track changes from New York to San Francisco. In this instance, you must enter the ID for the New York and San Francisco locations.	Mandatory
Event Value Qualifier	Enables you to qualify the changes to be monitored for the entity. For example, you can indicate you want to monitor the creation of ‘Salary’ element entries only. You can define multiple qualifiers. For example, you can indicate you want to monitor input value changes to the 'Premium' and 'Shift' element entries only.	Optional

Date Track Actions

When creating records in HDL, you must specify the type of date-track actions to be monitored:

• Insert

• Update

• Correct

• Delete

Note: For event changes, 'insert' and 'delete' aren't supported when you are tracking value changes such as assignment location changes from New York to California. Such a change must always be performed as an update or correction to the assignment record.

Qualifiers

Here’s a list of the event qualifiers that are currently supported:

Qualifier	Description
PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES ELEMENT_NAME	Qualification of element entry events based on the name of the element. For example, only raise an event notification for 'Salary' element entry changes such as the creation of a salary entry for an employee. Note: This doesn't include changes to input values on the element entry.
PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRY_VALUES ELEMENT_NAME	Qualification of element entry input value events based on the name of the element. For example, only raise an event notification when there is a 'Salary' element entry input value change.
PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRY_VALUES INPUT_NAME	Qualification of element entry value events based on the name of the input value. For example, only raise an event notification when there is an 'Amount' input value change on any element entry.
PAY_RATE_VALUES RATE_NAME	Qualification based on the rate amount held on the HCM Rates table. For example, when you run the Generate HCM Rate process and the 'Salary' rate amount is updated for an employee.

These primary flag qualifiers are also supported. However, these aren't intended for Payroll customers:
