Examples of Loading Talent Review Meetings

Talent review meetings are the main component of the talent review process, which organizations use to assess strengths of employees and evaluate areas of risk. You can use HCM Data Loader to create and update Talent Review meetings.

Create a Talent Review Meeting

This example TalentReviewMeeting.dat file creates a Talent Review Meeting object. The meeting has Facilitator, Participant, Reviewee, Review Content, Talent Pool, and Succession Plan components. The meeting configuration also has an attribute for including matrix managers as reviewers, which is set to Y in this example file.

Note: Source keys identify each record. You must use source keys if you plan to update the facilitator, participant, or reviewee records later. The user key for these records includes the person number. Therefore, you can't update the person number to refer to a different person if you're identifying the record by the user key alone. You're recommended always to use source keys when creating talent review meetings so that you can update the meetings as necessary.

These rules apply to Talent Review Meeting objects that you create using HCM Data Loader:

  • The DashboardTemplateName attribute identifies the configuration template used for the meeting. The template is created in the Setup and Maintenance work area using the Configure Talent Review Dashboard Options task. The referenced template must exist before you load the talent review meeting record.

  • Any facilitator, participant, reviewee, talent pool, and succession plan records that are referenced by the talent review meeting record must already exist. Alternatively, you can include them in the same .zip file.

  • You must identify at least one facilitator.

  • The MeetingStatusCode attribute must be set to NOT_STARTED and the MeetingSubmitStatusCode attribute can be set to either DRAFT or SCHEDULED for new talent review meetings.

Tip: If you're making multiple changes to the same talent review meeting, then include the Talent Review Meeting record in the same .dat file to ensure that all changes are processed together.

Remove Stakeholders

Sometimes workers may no longer be part of the organization. You may want to remove terminated workers who were added as facilitators and participants from Talent Review meetings.

This example TalentReviewMeeting.dat file is used for deleting a facilitator’s and a participant’s data from the HDL Marketing Talent Review Meeting meeting. This file uses source keys to identify the facilitator and participant to delete.
