USE_LEGACY_LOGIC

Description:

This parameter controls whether the legacy logic is used to determine the appropriate category for each employee in the status widgets (My Employees control in the desktop notification bar and My Staff widget in Mobile WFM).

When set to TRUE, the legacy (pre-6.3.0) logic is used to determine the appropriate category for each employee in the status widgets. The legacy logic is based on the time codes posted to the timesheet. When using this setting, you must define work and absent-related time codes using the empWorkingTimeCodes and empLateAbsentTImeCodes registry parameters.

Note: Originally, the My Employees control in the desktop notification bar and My Staff widget in Mobile WFM were designed more as after-the-fact reporting tools than as status widgets. For example, if an employee shows up at work at any point throughout the day, they are considered to be At Work, even if they have since gone home. If an employee has an absence-related time code posted to their timesheet, they are considered to be Absent, even if they are currently on the clock. Therefore, we recommend that you use the new logic.

When set to FALSE, the new (6.3.0 and later) logic is used to determine the appropriate category for each employee in the status widgets. The new logic is based on the employee's current clock status. When using this setting, an employee is considered to be At Work if their current clock status is ON regardless of their schedule. An employee is considered to be Absent if their current clock status is OFF during their scheduled times. This is the default.

Note:  When using this setting, the empWorkingTimeCodes and empLateAbsentTImeCodes registry parameters are not applicable.

For full details on how the system determines the appropriate category for each employee, see "Notification bar" in the Infor Workforce Management Time and Attendance Implementation and Administration Guide and "My Staff" in the Infor Workforce Management Mobility User Guide.
