Proximity Days

In a collapsing rule, you specify the number of days within which, if the selected events occur, the process must apply the collapsing rule. There's no limit to the number of days that you can specify for the tolerance.

You set proximity day values to collapsing rules using the Collapsing Rules tab of the Manage Life Events task in the Plan Configuration work area.

Examples of Proximity Days Usage

Example 1: If the Rehire event and the Transfer event occur within five days apart, you want the events to collapse to an appropriate event. In this example, you enter 5 in the Proximity Days field.

Example 2: If the Marriage event and Gain Dependent event occur on the same day, you want to collapse the events to an appropriate event. In this example, you enter 0 in the Proximity Days field.
