2162679 - Fields missing from People Pool's Category for Statement Assignment Groups - Compensation & Variable Pay

Symptom

When assigning a new statements template to a Compensation or Variable Pay template it is possible to assign employees to this statement template based on different categories such as country, department, location, Job Code, etc. In some cases the categories displayed in the drop down menu do not match the customer’s requirements and this screen can be customized to include a wider list of categories.
