Configure Dependent Fields for US Location Overrides
You can let people enter location override information when they report time worked somewhere other than their normal work location.
-
Prepare the location time attributes. You can use the location time attributes we
provide. They've data sources and list filters, and transfer to payroll after final
approval. Or you can prepare your own location attributes using this basic
process:
- Create payroll elements using the Time Card category, with the necessary input values for location by legislative data group. Use the Elements task in the Elements and Formula functional area.
- Generate the location time attributes using the Generate Data Dictionary Time Attributes task in the Time and Labor functional area.
- Go to Setup and Maintenance > Workforce Deployment > Time and Labor > Time Entry Layout Components.
- Create or edit an independent time card field or web clock buttons definition that has the Payroll Time Type time attribute.
-
Create the dependent field.
- Be sure to set the independent attribute to Payroll Time Type.
- Remember, your availability selection decides what display options people have when they configure time layouts.
You can repeat step 2 as many times as needed to create all the dependent fields first. Then, add the data sources and filters to each field. Or, you can create a field and add the sources and filters before you create the next field.
-
Select the unfiltered data source and filtered data source for the location
attribute.
Time Attribute Data Source State One of these options:
- ORA_HRX_US_EARN_STATE
- List of values for payroll US county field for Geocode
County One of these options:
- ORA_HRX_US_EARN_COUNTY
- List of values for payroll US county field for Geocode
City Filtered, one of these options:
- ORA_HRX_US_EARN_CITY
- List of values for payroll US county field for Geocode
Unfiltered: List of values for payroll US city field for administrator
-
Add the filter variables and input attributes for the filtered data source. If you
use multiple location levels, you configure the data source filters as shown in this
US example.
Dependent Field Filter Variable Variable Input Attribute Available Values for Dependent Field State NA NA All values in the State data source County pCodeLevel1 State All counties in the selected State City (step 1) pCodeLevel1 State None City (step 2) pCodeLevel2 County
All cities in the selected County in the selected State -
Add the dependent location fields to the appropriate layouts in the layout sets, in
the display sequence that makes the appropriate list values available. For example,
when city values depend on the selected state and county values, you display the
State field first, followed by County, and then City. If you display the City field
first, the list is empty.
The availability setting that you selected when you create the dependent field decides your display options in time card layouts.
