Feature overrides for new enhancements

Note: The ability to override features is only available in multi-tenant instances of Workforce Management.

Feature overrides control how new features are deployed in the Workforce Management application. Feature override ability will only exist during the release when the feature becomes available in Workforce Management. The feature override ability will be removed on the subsequent release of Workforce Management. For example, you may not want to expose a new feature to your users until they are fully trained and understand how to utilize the feature in your particular deployment of Workforce Management. In this case you can choose to enable a feature override (or keep it disabled) to keep the feature hidden from users. For other new features, you may want to immediately take advantage of new enhancements which benefit the users in your deployment. In this scenario, you can choose to disable a feature override and display the functionality for users.

Feature overrides work as follows:

  • When an override is enabled for a feature (see Override Enabled = true below), the feature is hidden/inaccessible to the appropriate users in the application.
  • When an override is disabled for a feature (see Override Enabled = false below), the feature is displayed and accessible to the appropriate users in the application.

The Maintenance > System Administration > Feature Override screen displays this information in a table:

Name
Name of the feature override.
Version
Version of the feature.
Override Enabled
  • true: The feature override is enabled and the feature is hidden from appropriate users in the application.
  • false: The feature override is disabled and the feature is visible to the appropriate users in the application.
Enable button
Click to enable the feature override and hide the feature from the appropriate users in the application.
Disable button
Click to disable the feature override and display the feature to the appropriate users in the application.
Note: This screen is only available to system administrators in the application. You can edit the security group permissions of the Feature Override maintenance form in Maintenance > System Administration > Maintenance Forms.
