Settings in the HR Requests section
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| HR Requests Per Finalize Batch |
Number, maximum value = 200, default value = 200. The number of HR Requests to process in each Finalize batch, defaults to 200. A batch size of 200 will likely complete faster, but is also more likely to lead to timeout errors. It can also make it harder to identify where the issue is if the Finalize batch fails. If the batch fails, none of the requests you included in it’s finalized. If the batch size is 1, processing all the requests pending finalization can take longer than processing a larger batch size. However, it's easier to identify an issue if the batch fails. If you need to configure the batch size enter a value from 1 to less than 200, otherwise leave blank. |
Settings in the Data Sharing section
| Field | Description |

This applies if HR Managers you assigned to an HR Department change. If you don't check this, the system bases HR Managers' access to team members on the user's association with the HR Department.
