Platform

PGP encryption for export files

WFM provides the ability to encrypt the files exported from WFM using a PGP public key that you provide. A third-party encryption tool is required to generate the PGP public key and decrypt the file exported from WFM.

See "File Encryption Using the PGP Library" in the Infor Workforce Management Multi-tenant Configuration Guide.

File transfer task enhancement

The file transfer task has been enhanced to support file masking and the ability to archive files in addition to purging files.

For more information on using the file transfer task, see Infor Workforce Management Time and Attendance Implementation and Administration Guide.

Custom scripting for customizations

Customizations are not permitted in this multi-tenant release of Workforce Management. However, you can now create new rules and conditions using a robust and sustainable custom scripting framework using the Groovy scripting language. There are also 5 endpoints related to entitlements:

  • Custom Apply On Date (Custom Unit Date)
  • Custom Entitlement Action (which includes customizations available for Action to be Taken, Condition To Apply, Ratio, Action On Max, Action On Min, Good Function and Bad Function)
  • Custom Balance Transfer Condition
  • Custom Balance Transfer Date
  • Custom Cascade Condition

The WFM application allows you to code and debug your script before deployment into a production environment.

A Javadoc of the exposed API is published for your reference in the WFM artifacts. The public Java API gives you access to services and data for coding your custom rules and conditions.

For more information, see Infor Workforce Management Custom Scripting Developer Guide.

Extension point for IDP initiated SSO

You can now configure an extension point for validating and parsing the SAML token in Mobility and WFM for IdP initiated SSO. This allows you to unify how the SAML response is handled by Mobility and WFM. The parser is specified in the /system/security/SAML/TOKEN_PARSER registry parameter.

For more information see the Infor Workforce Management Registry Parameter Reference Guide.

Flexible Identity Value of PGP key

Introduced a new registry value of system/WORKBRAIN_PARAMETERS/PGP_KEY_IDENTITY_VALUE that allows the user to specify an identity value for the PGP key that is generated in the WFM application. Specifying an identity value allows you to differentiate your keys in different environments.

See "File Encryption Using the PGP Library" in the Infor Workforce Management Multi-tenant Configuration Guide.
