Compensation Tag Management

The Compensation Tag Management page enables administrators to manage compensation tag names for fields used in custom compensation formulas and statements. Tag names are initially set to a default value, but administrators can view and manage the compensation tag names if necessary. Note: Field Names and Descriptions can be localized and translated, but tags are universal for all languages.

For User and Compensation custom fields, the fields and tags do not appear in Tag Management if the administrator does not meet the availability criteria for the fields.

To access Compensation Tag Management, go to Admin > Tools > Compensation > Tags.

The tags are organized into sections by tag type. By default, each tag type is collapsed so that administrators can see each available type. To view the tags within the tag type, click the arrow to the right of the tag type name. You can then click the arrow again to collapse the section, if necessary.

Tags - Search

Administrators can search for a tag using the search feature at the top of the page. Search for a tag by name by entering part of the tag name in the Tag Name field and click Search.

Administrators can also filter the search results by tag type by selecting the appropriate tag type from the Type drop-down list.
