Modify additional fields

You can set up HR Request Types for People Management Workflow to modify the values held by any field on the following objects:

  • Bonus

  • Employment

  • Salary

  • Team Member

These are sometimes known as the BEST objects after the first letter of each object.

Fields with the following data types are supported in People Management Workflow: 

  • lookup. Lookup fields display as picklists where you can also search to filter the options.

  • checkbox

  • date

  • email

  • number

  • percent

  • phone

  • picklist. People Management Workflow continues to support dependent picklists.

  • text

  • text area

  • text area (long)

  • text area (rich)

  • URL

Text fields added to the Combo Fields field set display as closed combo boxes, where the text entered is matched to previously entered values which the user can select, similar to picklists.

Note

At the time of Sage People Y23.3 release, text fields are not available to select for adding to the Combo Fields field set directly, but you can create an alternative field set and use fieldset mapping to override the Combo Fields field set.

The procedure is:

  1. Create a new field on the HR Request object with the same name and the same type as the field on the host object.

  2. Raise a request to modify the field value.

  3. Take the request through the usual approval process.

  4. Finalize the request to modify the field on the host object.

  5. You can control where the new field is displayed.
