Result in error: "Data Model is not consistent: The content of element type "hris-field" is incomplete, it must match "(label+,trigger-rule*,field-criteria*,picklist?)

      2. Another reason is that one of the HRIS field been referenced on DG filter has visibility "none" on data model or is not enabled on the Hris Element (Compensation Information, Job Information Employment Details and etc...).

Resolution

For first cause:

  1. Go to Manage Business Configuration
  2. Click on Filters -> Dynamic Group Filters -> DG Filters
  3. Find the "No Selection" line causing the issue
  4. Delete it
  5. Save

For second cause:

  1. Go to Manage Business Configuration
  2. Click on Filters -> Dynamic Group Filters -> DG Filters
  3. Check if the fields are enabled of each HRIS Element
  4. If is not anabled, enable it and save
  5. If is enabled, then check the data model and correct the field visibility to be "both"

Note: As customer you do not have access to data model, then please check with you implementation partner to check it and correct it if is needed.
