Create Grade Retention Page and Associate With Retained Grade Context

In certain organizations, an employee is entitled to retain their previous grade even after moving to a position of lower responsibility.

The grade can be retained for a fixed time beginning on the date the employee is placed in the lower-graded position, unless grade retention is terminated.

A context is seeded for the assignment extensible flexfield to record this retained grade information. You need to associate this context to a page to use this functionality. You can associate this context with an existing page or you could create a new page based on your business requirements. Here's how you can associate it with a new page:

1. Search and click the Manage Extensible Flexfields task name in the Setup and Maintenance work area.

2. Enter PER_ASSIGNMENT in the Flexfield Code field, and then click Search.

3. In the Search Results area, click the Edit icon.

4. Select the PerAssignmentEITCategory item in the Category area, and then click the Pages tab in the PerAssignmentEITCategory: Details area.

5. Click the Create icon.

6. In the Create Page dialog box, enter Grade Retention Info in the Display Name field.

7. Enter PER_RETAINED_GRADES_PAGE in the Code field.

8. Enter the information in the Description field. For example, you can enter: Provides additional assignment information for grade retention.

9. Select the Assignment EIT Information EFF value from the Usage list.

10. Click OK.

11. Select the Grade Retention Info page that you created from the PerAssignmentEITCategory: Details area. The list of associated contexts for the page is displayed in the Grade Retention Info: Associated Contexts Details area.

12. Click the Select and Add icon in the Grade Retention Info: Associated Contexts Details area.

13. Search for the Retained Grade name in the Select and Add: Contexts dialog box.
