2856609 - Compensation - Publishing selected users to employee central

Historically, administrators could publish compensation data back to Employee Central for some, all worksheets or select worksheets on the basis of planners, divisions, departments, and locations. Administrators can now publish specific employees to Employee Central, multiple employees or create subsets of employees based on custom filters or import via a csv file. It adds more flexibility to the publishing process. Standalone employees can be published and administrators can publish in multiple batches to improve the overall performance of the publishing process.

Important

• When publishing data, if you attempt to publish data for an employee who is part of a live form, then this will fail in the job details and show as skipped
• For values to show in the drop down, at least one worksheet should be in completed status. If all the worksheets are in progress status, the drop down is blank
• The filtered options from the drop-down are based on what is available within the worksheet
• The publish filter criteria can be changed dynamically after the launch of worksheets, if at least one worksheet is in completed status
  (For example, the filter can be changed from Country to Department following the launch of worksheets provided the Department field is added BEFORE launch)
• You can search and select employees who are in both completed and live (In-process) forms
• Reportable custom string fields can be configured as a filter option.
• You can use one custom filter option per Compensation template.
• Custom field labels will be picked up by the publishing page.
• If you select a field to use for publishing and wish to have this empty, you can download the XML and remove the following tag:
  <ec-publish-filter fieldId="customField"/>

  Upload this via provisioning and when checking employee central settings, you'll see no field selected anymore.
