Business Title Defaulting for Assignment in Employment Flows

The assignment is identified with the business title and the title is defaulted from the job or position in responsive employment flows using the ORA_PER_EMPL_DEFAULT_BUSINESS_TITLE_FROM profile option code.

Note:

The business title for the Mass Legal Employer Change flow is defaulted from the source assignment irrespective of the profile option.
The business title for the Convert Pending Worker flows (Convert, Quick Convert, and ESS process) is defaulted from the source pending worker assignment irrespective of the profile option.

This table shows how the business title is defaulted based on the profile option:

Profile Option	Defaulting Behavior
Retain User Changes	This is the current application behavior where the business title is populated based on the worker's job and the title changes automatically if there is a job change on the worker's assignment. However, if the user manually updates the business title on the worker's assignment, the updated value is retained even if there is a job change on the worker's assignment.
Automatically Update Based on Job Change	The business title is populated based on the worker's job and the title changes automatically if there is a job change on the worker's assignment. Even if the user manually updates the business title on the worker's assignment, the changes are replaced with the new job value if there is a job change on the worker's assignment.
Automatically Update Based on Position Change	The business title is populated based on the position on the worker's assignment and the title changes automatically if there is a position change on the worker's assignment. Even if the user manually updates the business title on the worker's assignment, the changes are replaced with the new position value if there is a position change on the worker's assignment.

Display of Business Title for Multiple Assignments

You can identify and select the appropriate assignment by viewing assignment attributes in the Business Title list of values (LOV) on the Employment Info page. Additionally, you can identify the required assignment in document records by configuring additional assignment attributes to display in the Business Title LoV. This is the order of the attributes available in the Business Title LOV:

Business title
Assignment number
Legal employer
Worker type
Location (shows only if the value exists in the assignment)
HR status (shows only if the assignment is suspended or inactive)

The attributes in the LOV are sorted first based on the HR status (in ascending order of Active, Inactive, or Suspended) followed by the assignment creation date (in descending order of the latest date first).

For example, this is how the attributes look for a worker with an active assignment, suspended assignment, or inactive assignment (with no location):

For an active assignment: Manager Information Systems; E10101010; Vision Corporation; Employee; Alberta, CA
For a suspended assignment: Management Consultant; E10101010-1; Vision Corporation; Employee; Alberta, CA; Suspended - Payroll Eligible
For an inactive assignment: Management Trainer; E10101010-2; Vision Corporation; Employee; Inactive - No Payroll

Note: The attributes are separated by a semicolon (;) in the LOV.

You can configure additional assignment attributes by using the REST LOV. These are the steps to enable the LOV:

Set the ORA_PER_EMPL_ENABLE_WRK_ASG_REST_LOV profile option to Y.
Use the Search Configuration in HCM Experience Design Studio to configure the Worker Assignment LoV.

This table shows the fields available for configuration and the fields that are displayed by default.

Field Name	Displayed by Default
Business Title	Yes (Search and Display)
Assignment Number	Yes (Search and Display)
Legal Employer	Yes (Search and Display)
Location	Yes (Search and Display)
Assignment Status	Yes (Display only)
Assignment Type	No
Business Unit	No
Position	No
Job	No
Grade	No
Department	No
Primary	No
Manager Name	No

Note: If you enable the feature to configure additional assignment attributes, then the Business Title LoV will replace the existing Business Title switcher on the Employment Info and Document Record pages. If you have personalized the Business Title LoV using Page Composer, you need to redo the personalization.

These points summarize the behavior of the Business Title LoV:

Displayed on the Employment Info page, only when the selected worker has more than 1 assignment.
Lists assignments which are in any of these HR Statuses: Active, Suspended, Inactive.
Lists all assignment types except the Offer assignment.
Supports assignment-level security and lists only those assignments for the selected worker for which the logged in user has access.
The attributes in the Business Title LoV are sorted in this order:
- Active primary (Primary_Flag = Y, Primary_Assignment_Flag = Y)
- Active primary (Primary_Flag = N, Primary_Assignment_Flag = Y) Internal order by Assignment Creation Date
- Active non-primary (Primary_Flag = N, Primary_Assignment_Flag = N) Internal order by Assignment Creation Date
- Suspended primary (Primary_Flag = Y, Primary_Assignment_Flag = Y) Internal order by Assignment Creation Date
- Suspended primary (Primary_Flag = N, Primary_Assignment_Flag = Y) Internal order by Assignment Creation Date
- Suspended non-primary (Primary_Flag = N, Primary_Assignment_Flag = N) Internal order by Assignment Creation Date
- Inactive - Internal order by Assignment Creation Date
