Assignment list block

This block allows you to present a list of workers, specifically a list of HR assignments. 

It's typically used to display a list of a manager's Direct Reports, as illustrated. It can also display a worker's peers (their manager's direct reports) or a worker's manager(s).

When a person in the list has multiple worker assignments, they are repeated once for each assignment, with the respective job details showing against each one.

The block has these additional settings:

Configuring the displayed content

You can configure most parts of the information displayed for each assignment:

• To configure the person's name format, please see Person name formats.
• To configure the job title, see Assignment information
• To configure the availability, see Availability
• The pop-up menu contains the same menu items that you would see in the sub-navigation menu for that person. To change this menu, see Menus.

Org chart layout

This view is enabled by default and provides an interactive tree visualization of a manager's hierarchy.

This view:

• Shows a tree visualization of the selected person's hierarchy
• Allow users to see their own and other's org charts
• Allow managers to initiate actions from the org chart, such as a promotion or pay change
• Provides an intelligent layout so that the nodes are organized in a natural way that utilizes screen space
• Works on all devices, including mobile tablet and desktop
• Show vacancies and open headcount
• Show either the supervisor or the supervisor assignment hierarchy, depending on which is configured for your environment.
• Allows the filters to be used to show the position hierarchy, which shows budget vs actual headcount and FTE
• Allows the filters to be used to show the organization hierarchy, which shows actual headcount and FTE
• Shows the direct report count for managers
• Allows the user to select managers to expand or collapse their direct reports and navigate down the tree
• Allows the user to select the manager's manager to navigate up the tree
• It provides controls to zoom in and out and reset the view
• Allows the user to pan around

Enabling and disabling the position and department views

The position view will be available when:

1. The selected person has a position defined by their assignment
2. That position is part of the primary position hierarchy for the employee's business group
3. The logged-on user has been granted the permission XXAS_ORG_POSITION_CHART_PERM

The department view will be available when:

1. The selected person's organization is part of the primary organization hierarchy for the employee's business group
2. The logged-on user has been granted the permission XXAS_ORG_ORG_CHART_PERM

Map layout

The map layout presents direct reports in a map view. This view is not enabled by default because many environments do not have geometry data stored against their locations, which means people will not show on the map. To enable this view:

1. Confirm that you have set geometry data on our locations. This is the geometry column on the hr_locations_all table
2. Update the block settings and select the map layout

Customizing the list of displayed assignments - deprecated

Historically, the list of displayed assignments could be customized by creating a custom web service.
