Description

Documentation for details

Fields are no longer editable for Employee Information on the latest Employee Profile

Some Background elements are available in Legacy Configure People Profile but not available in Latest Configure People Profile

Amount and Percentage fields are visible in Recurring Pay Component and One-Time Payment portlets in View mode in Full Profile; however these fields are neither visible in Edit mode nor enabled in BCUI

• This is an expected behavior. The field 'value' in BCUI captures both Amount and Percentage, however on the UI, for a better user experience, we have two labels Amount and Percentage. For view use case, both fields are displayed. For Amount based Pay components, Amount field has a value and Percentage is blank. For Percentage based Pay components, Amount field stores the value (copied from another standard field 'Calculated Amount' and Percentage field capture the percentage value. Currently, Full Profile is not supported in Edit mode, hence it follows legacy People Profile behavior.
