April21 Release Notes

Structured Planning: Copy Option in Workforce Attributes Window

Now, a new Copy option has been added in the Workforce Planning Setup > Workforce Attributes window. You can use the new option to copy any existing user-defined attribute and add a new user-defined attribute.

The following image shows the Copy option in the toolbar of the Workforce Attributes window.

How does the functionality work

When you select any attribute and click Copy, all details available in the original user-defined attribute, such as Attribute Name, Attribute Type, Reporting Attribute, and so on, are automatically copied to the new user-defined attribute.

While copying any user-defined attribute, you can specify the required New Attribute Name in the Copy Attribute pop-up window. By default, the New Attribute Name field's value consists of the prefix "copy_" followed by the attribute name.

For example, if you copy a Bonus attribute, then a new user-defined attribute named Copy_Bonus will be added to the user-defined attributes list. The Copy_Bonus attribute will contain the same information available in the Bonus attribute.

Business Value

This functionality provides you the flexibility of copying an existing user-defined attribute’s data with just one click. You can use the data from any existing user-defined attribute and create a new user-defined attribute with ease.

In Practice: Selecting the Copy Option

1. Go to Maintenance > Workforce Planning Setup, and then click the Workforce Attributes tab.

2. Select a user-defined attribute and click Copy.

   

3. In the Copy Attribute pop-up, enter the New Attribute Name and click Add. A message is displayed once the new user defined attribute is successfully copied.
