Minor Enhancements to Redwood Individual Compensation Extensibility

You can enhance people’s productivity and satisfaction when proposing individual compensation changes by creating business rules for the redwood personal contribution, individual compensation and administer compensation pages.

Select a Template While Creating a Business Rule

• Template rule examples for defaulting: 
  • Default Action Date to Next Payroll Period Start Date 
  • Default Exclude Plans Based on Grade
  • Set Add, Edit and Delete as Hidden based on role
• Template rule examples for validation:
  • Validate Action Date within given date range
  • Validate Start Date of a new claim
  • Validate Plan End Date with payroll period end date
  • Validate Primary Input Value of a new allocation
  • Validate new allocation by Grade
  • Validate Primary Input Value of an allocation during update
  • Validate Start Date of a new allocation against prior allocations
  • Validate more than one new allocation in a transaction
  • Validate viability of multiple allocations 
  • Validate absence of a plan by Job
• Also use the additional attributes to control the outcome.
  • Operation (earlier called Create or edit): Identify the operation to do for each row
    • The internal attribute ID is the same: $fields.individualCompensationDetails.Mode
    • During record-level validation, this field has these values:

    • Scenario	Value	Initial Value	Rule Condition
      New allocation	CREATE	null	if value of Mode = 'CREATE'
      Correction	CORRECTION	NO_CHANGE	if value of Mode = 'CORRECTION'
      End date	END_DATE	NO_CHANGE	if value of Mode = 'END_DATE'
      Date-effective update	SPLIT	NO_CHANGE	if value of Mode = 'SPLIT'
      Unchanged record	NO_CHANGE	NO_CHANGE	if value of Mode = 'NO_CHANGE'

    • During section-level validation, this field will have these values:

    • Scenario	Mode
      New allocation record	CREATE
      Corrected record	CORRECTION
      End dated record	END_DATE
      Date Effective update (New Record)	SPLIT
      Date Effective update (End-dated Record)	PRE_SPLIT
      Unchanged record	NO_CHANGE

  • How accessed: Identify whether the user accessed the page from My Team or My Client Group
  • When is the rule applied: Identify whether the user is doing the transaction for themself or others.

This enhancement accelerates your validation and default rule adoption.
