Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Question	Answer
Why do Edit/Add/Delete buttons appear differently depending on which Background Element you edit?	This is expected behavior, this will depend on number of fields available for the background element as when there is less than 8 fields, there is no need to open a side panel to open edit options but when there are more then 8 fields configured for custom background element, we need a side panel to list the fields more clearly.
Why is it possible to edit fields while only having RBP 'View' permissions to those specific fields ?	If you have the following permissions: Administrator Permissions > Employee Central Import Entities > Import permission for an entity User permissions to view specific fields of the entity You can edit these fields of the entity in the latest People Profile. You can edit for all users or only for users in the target population depending on whether the import target population check is enabled.
Why is the amount field not editable in One-Time Payment portlet/block on Latest People Profile?	This is expected and depends on the Pay component type selected. In Latest People Profile the behavior should be as follow: If pay component is of type 'Percentage', then Amount field becomes read-only and Percentage field becomes editable. If pay component is of type 'Amount', then Amount field becomes editable and Percentage field stays read-only.
