This table lists the employment profile options that are applicable for HDL, Redwood, Responsive and REST.

Profile Option Code Profile Display Name Default Profile Value Description
ORA_PER_EMPL_DEFAULT_BUSINESS_TITLE_FROM Business Title Defaulting Option Retain User Changes

By default, the current application behavior of retaining the user changes is followed. When the profile option is set to Retain User Changes, the application defaults the business title to the job name whenever there is a change in job on the worker's assignment. However, if the user has manually updated the business title on the worker's assignment, the changes entered by the user are retained even if there is a change in job on the worker's assignment.

If you set the profile option to Automatically Update Based on Job Change, the application defaults the business title to the job if there is a change in job on the worker's assignment.

If you set the profile option to Automatically Update Based on Position Change, the application defaults the business title to the position if there is a change in position on the worker's assignment.

ORA_PER_EMPL_DISABLE_TIME_CARD_CHK_CANCEL_WR Time Card Check Disabled for Cancel Work Relationship and Delete Assignment N By default, the application prevents cancellation of the work relationship and deletion of the assignment when a time card exists. If you don't want the application to prevent cancellation and deletion when a time card exists, set the profile value to Y.

This table lists the employment profile options that are applicable only for HDL, Redwood, and responsive pages.

Profile Option Code Profile Display Name Default Profile Value Description

If you set this site-level profile option to Y, users can do these actions:

  • Select a grade only from the list of valid grades that are defined for the assignment set in the selected job or position.

    Note:

    You can add grades belonging to multiple sets as valid grades for the job or position.

  • If users select the job and position for the assignment or employment terms, they can only select grades that are valid for the position. Also, if the position doesn't have any valid grades, then the valid grades of the job aren't applied.

  • If you don't define valid grades for the job or position, then users can select grades from the grade ladder. If the grade ladder doesn't have any grades, then the user can select from all grades.

If you set this site-level profile option to N, users can select grades from the grade ladder. If the grade ladder doesn't have any grades, then the user can select from all grades defined for the assignment set.

By default, the existing direct reports of the manager will be copied to the Reassign Existing Reports section. To display existing direct reports in the Add Direct Reports section, you must set the profile option to Add Direct Reports.

If you set the profile option to Reassign Existing Reports, the application defaults the manager's existing direct reports in the Reassign Existing Reports section of the Global Temporary Assignment flow.

  • The Reassign Existing Reports section won't be shown in the global temporary assignment regardless of whether you select the section in the questionnaire page.

Only those direct reports with which the source assignment has a line manager relationship will be populated in the Add Direct Reports section. For example, Donna is a line manager of Jeff and Marry, and project manager for Shaun. In this case, only Jeff and Marry will be defaulted in the Add Direct Reports section when the global temporary assignment is started for Donna.

PER_DEPARTMENT_TREE_FOR_MANAGER PER_DEPARTMENT_TREE_FOR_MANAGER Null

If you set this profile option to the department tree value, the application defaults the line manager from the selected department tree.

If the transaction is performed on the department manager assignment, the application defaults the line manager from a higher level in the department tree.

If the department tree has an active tree version, then the line manager is defaulted from the active tree version.
