Configuring the employee information card

You can retrieve employee-related information directly on the timesheet through the employee information card, without the need to navigate to another section of the application. This information is displayed when the user hovers over the icon beside the employee's name of the timesheet.

The employee information card includes the employee identifier, status, pay group, and calculation group. Based on your system configuration, other information may be displayed.

Note: The fields configured in the employee information card on the Daily Timesheet are also displayed on the employee information card in the Supervisor Approval Worksheet, Weekly Timesheet, and LFSO.
  1. Select Timesheet.
  2. Click Turn ON config mode.
  3. Select any employee’s timesheet using the Timesheet Selection section, and click Load.
  4. Beside the employee name, above the employee icon, click the diamond icon for EMPLOYEE_CARD.
  5. In the Field Localization popup window, specify the following parameters in the Field Parameters field.
    • showHistoryFields: This parameter is used to display fields from the employee override screen. Fields viewable to the user are included in the card regardless of whether the field contains data.
      For example, you can specify
      showHistoryFields="EMP_NAME,EMP_STATUS,EMP_PAYGRP_NAME,EMP_CALCGRP_NAME,EMP_FLAG2,EMP_VAL16,TZ_ID" 
    • showHistoryFields: This parameter is used to display fields from the employee override screen. Fields that the user can view are included in the card regardless of if the field contains or does not data.
      For example, you can specify
      showHistoryFields="EMP_NAME,EMP_STATUS,EMP_PAYGRP_NAME,EMP_CALCGRP_NAME,EMP_FLAG2,EMP_VAL16,TZ_ID" 
    • showUDFs: This parameter is used to display employee user-defined fields. Only the UDF fields assigned to the employee are displayed.
      For example, you can specify
      showUDFs="HOME_PHONE,MOBILE_PHONE,EMAIL"
    • showJobs: This parameter is used to display information on the employee's jobs.
      For example, you can specify
      showJobs="JOB_NAME, EMPJOB_START_DATE, EMPJOB_END_DATE, EMPJOB_PREFERRED"
    • jobOrderBy: This parameter is used to control the sorting order of job records that is displayed in the employee information card. Use this parameter to specify which field should determine the sorting order for job information.
      For example, you can specify
      jobOrderBy="EMPJOB_WORKASSIGNMENT"

    With this configuration, all of the employee's qualified jobs (effective dated) are displayed. To show only the employee's preferred job, you can set the showPreferredJobsOnly parameter to true.

    Note: The fields included on the employee information card apply element security, so that specific fields are visible or hidden for specific security groups.
