migrate XML based propagation to [business rules ](https://twitter.com/anipeabraham)

**What is it? **

The _‘HRIS Propagation Configuration XML’ _which allows to automatically fill fields
from certain foundation and MDF objects into employment data will be replaced by
Business Rules. I.e. [The existing rules in](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/sap-successfactors-online-training-india/)
XML will be translated into _‘onChange’ business rules _and automatically migrated.

**Why is it important? **

This will simplify the adaption of propagation rules as they are available in the
admin tools (no need to submit support tickets to adjust the XML). It also increases
flexibility as Business Rules allow more sophisticated logic and can be easier handled.
[As a consequence:](https://www.youtube.com/LorenzoDataSolutions)
 ▪ Neither use
nor maintenance of existing XML based rules will be possible from b1902 on

### **2.Enhancements Company Structure Overview**

**What is it? **

Show incumbent of position in Company Structure Overview.

**Why is it important? **

For any Company Structure Definition (view) users can add position objects to be
displayed. If so, users would like to see the [incumbent(s) ](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/successfactors-employee-central-online-training/)
of the position. So we added a configuration option to enable customers to show 
the incumbents of positions. The display of incumbents in the position tile is aligned
with the display of user information in Position Org Chart.

**Prerequisites **
 When editing the layout of a position object in a [company structure](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lorenzodatasolutions/),
there is a new flag “Show Incumbents”

### **3.Changes to Stalled Workflows Display **

**What is it? **

By default, the Show More is collapsed, and when you select this link, links to 
stalled workflow requests appear. When you expand the Show More link, all hyperlinked
names of approvers [appear that](https://vimeo.com/user42691445) have stalled workflows.
When an approver has multiple stalled requests, that number of requests is indicated
in parentheses.

**Why is it important? **

Improve the performance of the load

### **4.Rule context feature in BCUI **

 **What is it? **

BCUI allows Admin’s to choose the context for an onChange/OnSave rule.

**Why is it important? **

One or more of the contexts can be selected and based on the selection, the rules
will get executed. For example, [Suppose](https://www.lorenzo-datasolutions.com/success-factors-training-videos/)
for an OnSave rule the context is set only on the UI, then this rule will be triggered
only on save of that element from the UI. This rule will not be executed for all
the other contexts. This improves performance as the rule is processed only in the
actual context.

**Prerequisites **

In Manage Business configuration screens choose a rule and click on Details link.
Set the rule context and Save.
