Configuring the People Profile Assignments Block

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to configure the Succession Data Model to store assignments and the Assignment Block to the People Profile.

Opportunity Marketplace Assignment Block

An Assignments block can be added to the People Profile once the corresponding background element has been configured in the Succession Data Model. For a detailed discussion on the Succession Data Model and background elements, review the THR80 Platform Academy course.

The background element id is "opportunityMarketplaceAssignmentPortlet" and the sample XML code is listed below. The XML code can be added to the Succession Data Model following the same process outlined in the "Configuring the People Profile to Display Development Goals" lesson earlier in this course, or the Background Element can be added using Manage Business Configuration. Keep in mind the label of the Background Element can be customized to meet the needs of the organization.

Once the Background Element has been added to the Succession Data Model, the Assignment Portlet block can be added to the People Profile.

After adding the Assignment Portlet, make sure roles are given, at a minimum, View permissions to the block. The permissions are available through RBP, User PermissionsEmployee DataOpportunity Marketplace Assignments Block(or the custom label the background element was given).
