Building Custom Processes in Self Service

In my current assignment, the client wanted a custom process to be available on SS menu that is not available in the product. This process required users to update the assignment status of the employee and enter other details in a SIT. However, as there is no seeded function that would allow users to perform these two transaction at one place. Users would have had to use one screen to enter the assignment details and switch to the SIT function to enter other details. But, they would have had to move from one process to another, which can be frustrating.

This can be easily be done using the Manage Employment Events functionality in SSHR. It lets you to tie together different assignment related events using a workflow process and build a custom process for use in SS. The events that can be tied together are Assignment, Location, Work Schedule, Change Manager, Employee or Contingent Worker Termination, Employee or Contingent Worker Pay, Individual Compensation Distributions, Special Information Types and Other Employment Information.

In order to build this process I built a new workflow process to tie the events. Once the workflow was ready, I defined the required functions and added them to the menu. To get a better understanding of the menu's refer to my previous post.
