Custom Template Now Supports More Templates for Easier Customization and Updates

The Strategic Workforce Planning custom template, OWP_Custom Template, now supports more templates.

The following additional templates now support OWP_Custom Template and will read any of the modifications you make to the custom script blocks:

  • OWP_Calculate Employee Compensation_Te
  • OWP_Process Loaded Data_T
  • OWP_Synchronize Defaults_T
  • OWP_Synchronize Definition_T

Additionally, OWP_Custom Template was updated to include three blank script blocks for each supported rule, instead of only two.

Business Benefit: OWP_Custom Template is not considered for updates, so it’s easier for you to write and maintain your custom, flexible code in one place. Because you make your customizations in OWP_Custom Template, you don’t need to edit the other provided rules or templates. This makes the other provided rules and templates easier to maintain during updates because you don’t need to reapply any customizations you have made. Additionally, the addition of a third script block in OWP_Custom Template provides support for more use cases.

Tips And Considerations

If you've already modified OWP_Custom Template, it is not automatically updated to support the newly added third script block. If you have a use case that requires the third script block, restore the OWP_Custom Template to its original state so that it is updated, and then re-apply your modifications.
