Enable Attributes to Pass as Input Parameters for Predefined Functions

Enable a column to be the attribute the input parameter passes to the predefined function. Use the Configure Tables and Columns task in the Setup and Maintenance to enable the columns for calculation.

Here are the predefined functions:

  • Credit Category Name

  • Date Difference

  • Prorated Plan Component Participation and YTD Target Incentive

  • Prorated Measure Participation, Previous Interval Attainment, and Rolling Average Attainment

Each function section contains:

  • The columns that you must enable for each function

  • A suggested user name for each column as these columns don't have standard user names

Each column that you enable for calculation must have a corresponding user name, because the user name appears in the expression builder choice lists. You use the choice lists to select the attribute that each input parameter passes to the function. On the Tables and Columns toolbar View menus, select Query By Example to more quickly isolate the relevant table or columns.

Additional Information:

  • For descriptions and use case examples of each predefined function, see the Incentive Compensation Predefined Functions topic.

  • For details about creating predefined expressions with these attributes, see the Create Incentive Expressions with Predefined Functions topic.
