5.Enhancements to External User Visibility Tool
More objects are added in the External User Visibility tool.
You can allow Onboarding new hires to view the following new objects. We’ve also expanded the coverage of some existing options.
- Newly added objects:
- Division
- BusinessUnit
- PayScaleType
- PayScaleArea
- EmployeeGroup
- PersonnelArea
- JobClassification
- AddressValidationConfigurationForEmployeeAddresses
- Existing options previously with the suffix “_dependent” now include two more objects (one for onboardee and the other for employee) and the “_dependent” suffix is removed. For example, the object personInfo_dependent has been renamed to personInfo and it now contains three objects: personInfo_dependent, personInfo_onboardee, and personInfo_employee.
The capability to configure the visibility of these objects by customers themselves helps to reduce the time for customers to resolve issues related to the visibility of these objects.
What’s Changed
In the current version, customers can configure the visibility of newly added objects for Onboarding new hires.
In the previous version, customers need to create a ticket for Product Support to add those objects.
