Publishing Future Roles to the People Profile

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to publish targeted roles to the People Profile.

The Preferred Next Move Portlet

Employees are able to share targeted roles within their Employee Profile (People Profile) if the portlet is configured. To use the Preferred Next Move portlet in the profile, the corresponding background element XML code preferredNextMove has to be configured in the Succession Data Model. You can configure this feature with your implementation consultant or you can create a new background element using Manage Business Configuration. The Background Element must also have a "title" data-field defined. Additional data-fields may also be present.

Manage Business Configuration for the Preferred Next Move background element and the title field details are shown.

The Career Worksheet XML template must also have the share permission enabled for one or more relative roles. Once these configurations are complete a checkbox will be available for each role in the Career Worksheet, so employees can decide which roles they wish to share in their People Profile.

Once the portlet exists in the Succession Data Model, you can use Action Search to navigate to Configure People Profile and add the portlet to the profile. The Preferred Next Move block is available under the Custom BlocksLive Profile Background Information section.

You can drag and drop the block where you've like it to be located in the profile. You can also give the block and subsection a name. You can keep the name Preferred Next Move or name the block anything you’d like, such as Career Goals or Future Roles of Interest. Save the modifications you made in Configure People Profile.

Once the configuration of Preferred Next Move is complete, the end user view within People Profile looks similar to the figure below.

Enabling Role-Based Permissions for the Preferred Next Move Portlet

As with any newly created portlet, the permissions in RBP have to be updated. From Action Search, go to Manage Permission Roles. Select the roles that should be able to use the portlet. The name of the portlet will depend on the label used in the Succession Data Model Background Element. In our previous example, that label was Career Goals. Under the User Permission, the Preferred Next Move portlet is found in the background for the category Employee Data. Save the modified permissions.
