Hi Steven
The Variable Editor was removed from the scoped HR application in favor of the COE and Services functionality that was introduced in Istanbul. The COE tables are extensions of HR Case for the different Centers of Excellence within HR (ex: Employee Relations). This allows users to create COE specific fields directly on the appropriate case table without cluttering the other tables with irrelevant fields. This approach eliminates the issues of reporting on variables and adding them to list views. This also ensures that functionality such as fillable PDFs, notifications, and lifecycle events can easily leverage the data captured on the requested forms.
Below are instructions on the recommended way to handle variable data in the scoped HR app.
- Create the table columns representing the variables that need to be captured directly to the appropriate COE table (ex: "Disciplinary issue reasons" on the [sn_hr_core_case_relations] table).
- Create/update the variables on the record producer to map the variable value to the appropriate table column.
- Update the "Service table fields" on the HR Service to show/hide the necessary fields relevant to the service.
For anyone revisiting this post, the London release made reporting on these variables easier by adding a Questions formatter. This formatter can be expanded to allow report writers to select the record producer and variables from that record producer that should be pulled into the HR Case report.
Thanks for this
