Employee Central - Biographical Information

There are two different ways in which the age of your employees can be displayed.

They are YY/MM/DD or the value in years (Rounded Down).

• In order to use the YY/MM/DD format you must ensure the age field is a custom string field.
• In order to use the value in years (rounded down) you must ensure the age field is a custom double (Numeric) field.

 Step 1: Create  both custom Field

Via Code SDM Data Model 

<hris-field id="custom-double1" max-length="25" visibility="view">
<label xml:lang="en-US">Age Custom Double</label>
<label>Age Custom Double</label>
<label xml:lang="fr-FR">SAPAge calculation</label>
</hris-field>
<hris-field id="custom-string1" max-length="256" visibility="none">
<label xml:lang="en-US">Age Custom String</label>
<label>Age Custom String</label>
</hris-field>

Step 2: Create rule:

Go to Admin Centre> Configure Business Rules

Create a Basic Rule with Base object Biographical information

• For YY/MM/DD create a rule using the "Convert to YY/MM/DD" function for custom-string
• For the age value (rounded down) use the "Difference in Years Round Down" function for custom-Double
