Auto setup automatically creates a flexible block that provides:
- A calendar layout of existing events
- A row layout showing a historical list of leave and absences
- An add button to request a new leave or an absence
- Drill-down to an existing leave or an absence
Auto setup will configure this block to use the following default settings if using the HR_GENERIC_APPROVAL_PRC workflow (new in R12):
| Setting | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| View formula | XXX_BK_ABSENCE_VIEW | Controls the view of absence information in the calendar and row layouts, and in the drill-down modal page. The exact formula name may vary; the formula is based on the seeded formula XXAS_EMP_VIEW_ABSENCE |
| Form | Leave of absence (/public/xxas/emp/view/leaveofabsence.xml) | The form used when adding and editing absences |
| Form handler | xxas_absence_management_pkg | The PL/SQL package that handles form input and saves the values to the HR_GENERIC_APPROVAL_PRC workflow |
| Data source | Applaud HR Absence Management (XXAS_ABSENCE_MANAGEMENT_V) | The data source used to retrieve the absence events based on the HR_GENERIC_APPROVAL_PRC workflow |
| Edit personalization formula | XXX_BK_ABSENCE_EDIT |
Overrides absence form properties at run-time. The exact formula name may vary; the formula is based on the seeded formula XXAS_EMP_VIEW_ABSENCE_EDIT |
And the following default properties if using the HR_LOA_JSP_PRC workflow (11i onwards):
| Setting | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| View formula | XXX_BK_ABSENCE_VIEW | Controls the view of absence information in the calendar and row layouts, and in the drill-down modal page. The exact formula name may vary; the formula is based on the seeded formula XXAS_EMP_VIEW_ABSENCE |
| Form | Leave of absence (/public/xxas/emp/view/leaveofabsence.xml) | The form used when adding and editing absences |
| Form handler | xxas_leave_of_absence_pkg | The PL/SQL package that handles form input and saves the values to the HR_LOA_JSP_PRC workflow |
| Data source | Applaud HR Leave of Absence (XXAS_LEAVE_OF_ABSENCE_V) | The data source used to retrieve the absence events based on the HR_LOA_JSP_PRC workflow |
| Edit personalization formula | XXX_BK_ABSENCE_EDIT | Overrides absence form properties at run-time. The exact formula name may vary; the formula is based on the seeded formula XXAS_EMP_VIEW_ABSENCE_EDIT |
If you're not using the auto setup you can create these blocks yourself. Just use the settings specified above and be sure to copy and modify any seeded formula so that your changes do not get overridden in a later patch.
