Tips And Considerations

  • To set up conditions related to the manager, you can use the Manager’s Assignment Primary indicator and the Assignment Type attributes.

  • When configuring rules for the Start Date and Primary info sections in Edit Work Relationship, ensure any Descriptive Flexfields used in the conditions trigger the rule within the Work Relationship Info section.

  • In Edit Work Relationship, defaulting is not supported for the Start Date and Primary Info sections
