FAQ
Q) Will all employees with permission granted to “Employee Central Import Settings” get this permission?
A) Yes if the Permission Role that grants access to “Employee Central Import Settings” is set as “Select All” > The user will automatically get this new permission
Q) Will all employees with permission granted to “Employee Central Import Settings” where they have “Others” set, get this permission?
A) No, then you must update the Permission Role to include the new permissions
Q) When I have enabled this feature and perform an import, I get the "Internal System Error has Occurred" message and I cannot import the Termination data. But, if I disable the permission for triggering workflows on Termination import, it works fine
A) Please check the Workflow Business Rules being triggered - one or more rules have "SET wfConfig to be equal to NULL" - which is not supported. Please note that the error will be resolved in 1711 release, but this configuration will not be supported - instead Workflow rules with this setting will be ignored.
