Information Overview (US Federal)

This topic and related links provide configuration details for My Information (employee view) and My Employee Information (manager view), and Employee Information (HR professional view) pages.

My Information

Employees can use My Information to view employment and other related details. My Information displays records as of the current date. Employees can view present and past records for all categories, but future-dated changes only for benefits, training, absence, and job applications.

See: My Information and My Employee Information

My Employee Information

You can use My Employee Information to review the same records available in My Information for anyone within your security access.

The self-service application displays information according to the selected hierarchy (Supervisory or Position), in a flat list from user-defined search results, or from 'My List' functionality. You can use the advanced search criteria to find people, and save searches for later reuse.

Using the Details view, you can review a specific employee's past, present, and future-dated records.

Note: If you want to view the summary information as of an effective date, you can personalize the summary to enable the effective date field.

Employee Information

Of the three views, Employee Information displays the most extensive summary of the employee's record. As an HR professional, you can review the same data available to managers as well as data unavailable to managers such as probation and service obligation information, and sensitive data such as the employee's date of birth and social security number. Unlike the manager's My Employee Information view, you can also view Correction and Cancellation records.

You navigate to Employee Information using the responsibility Federal HR Self Service. You can view details on these page, but to change this information, you must switch to a responsibility that gives you edit access to that data. You can view past, present, and future-dated records for employees within your security profile as of the current date.

See: Employee Information View

The Employee Information view includes the advanced search function. You can personalize the search criteria to include other criteria and to rearrange the order (for example, placing the Last Name as the first search criteria). You can further personalize Employee Information to include the My List feature, and to show or hide attributes and tabs. The self-service application displays the information according to the selected hierarchy (Supervisory or Position), from user-defined search results, or from 'My List' functionality.

Employee Summaries

The view pages summarize information entered elsewhere in the application. The Employee page lists the records that match your search criteria, and displays high-level details for each employee record. For a detailed summary, you can click the employee's name. The Details page displays information in the header and the following tabbed regions:

In addition to these tabs, you can use the Personalization Framework to display the Training, Absence, and Job Application tabs.

Personalize Views

You can take advantage of the Oracle Framework functionality to personalize My Information, My Employee Information, and Employee Information. You can configure these views so that employees, managers, and HR professionals see only the data items that you choose. Through the use of Framework Personalization, you can rename data items, rename columns, hide unwanted items, display delivered hidden items, and reorder data items or columns. For example, you might display data fields that are normally hidden, such as step and rate.

See: Personalization Framework

You can also hide sub-tabs for individual responsibilities or for all responsibilities.
