Compensation Task - Create - Layout - Expanded View Layout

The Expanded View Layout section enables administrators to select which compensation fields appear in the expanded employee view on the Summary, Read-Only, and Approval views of the compensation task. Administrators are also able to customize the field name that is displayed on the compensation task.

Available fields

The Available fields field lists all of the available fields that can be added to the expanded employee view on the Summary, Read-Only, and Approval views of the compensation task. Fields are grouped into categories, and the categories are only displayed if there are available fields within the category. For example, if all of the performance data is moved to the Display fields field, then the Performance Data category does not appear in the Available fields field. The category titles are based upon the system default title headers for the section in the expanded employee view. The following categories may be available:

  • Salary Data - This category includes salary data fields, such as Aggregate Company Data and Labor Hours.
  • Performance Data - This category includes Competency, Performance, and Succession fields.
  • Additional Information - This category includes User and OU fields.

Data fields in the Available fields field are displayed in alphabetical order within each category.

The Available fields field only displays fields that have not yet been added to the employee expanded view. In order for a field to be displayed in the expanded view, it must be moved to the Display fields field. See the Fields - Add to Display section below for additional information.

Components that appear in the Available fields field for a template do not appear in the corresponding expanded employee view.

Add Fields

Administrators can add user, OU, competency, performance review, and succession fields to the expanded employee view on the Summary, Read-Only, and Approval views of the compensation task.

To add fields, click the Add Fields link at the top of the Display fields field. This opens the Search Fields and Metrics pop-up. Select the appropriate fields and click the Add button. The selected fields are added in alphabetical order at the bottom of the appropriate category in the Display fields field.

Once fields are added, they remain visible in either the Available fields or Display fields field after the template is saved. However, if the administrator cancels the changes after the fields are added, then the added fields are removed from the template.

Selected field and Display name

When a single field or category is selected in the Available fields or Display fields field, the Selected field field displays the default name of the selected field or category. If more than one field or category is selected or if no field or category is selected, then this field is blank.

While the Selected field field displays the default name for the selected field or category, administrators are able to customize the name that is displayed to compensation managers on the Summary, Read-Only, and Approval views of the compensation task. To customize the field or category name, enter a new name in the Display name field, up to 100 characters. This is the field or category name that will appear on the compensation plan. This field does not accept HTML. If multiple languages are enabled for your portal, select the Translate icon to translate the field into other available languages.

  • When a display name is modified, the change only applies to the current compensation task. The change does not affect any other compensation templates or tasks in which the corresponding field or category appears.
  • By default, the display name is the same as the default field or category name.
  • A display name is required for each field and category, regardless of whether it is included in the Available fields or Display fields field.
  • For fields that are used in multiple templates, the display name for the Summary, Read-Only, and Approval views of the compensation task is taken from the template that was last added to the task.

If the Aggregate Company Data field in the Display name field is selected, a Grade, Position, and Division option is available the right of the Selected field field. Select the appropriate OUs by which the data should be aggregated on the Summary, Read-Only, and Approval views of the compensation task.

The Available fields field only displays fields that have not yet been added to the employee expanded view. In order for a field to be displayed in the expanded view, it must be moved to the Display fields field. To add a field to the display, select the field from the Available fields field and click the Move Right button , which is to the right of the Available fields field. The selected item is added to the bottom of the appropriate category in the Display fields field. The display order of the field can then be modified, if necessary.

Fields - Remove from Display

The Display fields field lists all of the fields that have been added to the expanded employee view on the compensation template. Fields are grouped into categories, and the categories are only displayed if there are available fields within the category. For example, if all of the performance data is removed from the Display fields field, then the Performance Data category does not appear in the Display fields field. The category titles are based upon the system default title headers for the section in the expanded employee view. In order to hide a field from the display, it must be moved to the Available fields field.

To remove a field from the display, select the field from the Display fields field and click the Move Left button , which is to the left of the Display fields field. The selected item is added to the appropriate category in the Available fields field in alphabetical order.
