Assignment Determination

The Assignment Determination button opens a screen to select the fields that can be used as criteria for employees qualifying for a specific assignment code. For example, if an assignment can be based on an employee's job class, the job class field can be added to the assignment determination list. When configuring an Assignment Code record with a matching Assignment Source Code, the Criteria screen displays the fields selected in this screen.

The assignment determination listing also sets the hierarchy of the criteria, if an employee qualifies for more than one assignment. In the example below, job class is the highest priority qualification. If an employee qualifies for one assignment based on Job Class qualification and another assignment based on Employee Class qualification, the assignment code with the Job Class qualification would be the one assigned to the employee.

• The left column displays all the Available Criteria Items in the system, the right column shows the selected Assigned Criteria Items.

• To add a new criteria item, highlight the item in the Available Criteria Items column and drag to the Assigned Criteria Items column.

• To remove a criteria item, drag the item back into the Available Criteria section.

• Criteria items may be moved around within the Assigned Criteria Items column according to the order they should display in the Assignment Codes screen.
