Participants: A Participant is the person or entity that is compensated in a plan. While generally a participant is an individual, this can also be a team or group. Participants can be internal or external to the organization.

Positions: The Position contains information about the unique job that is being compensated.

Titles:Titles group similar positions across the organization, usually related to job functions.

Plan Data - Plans Wizard: Use the Plans Wizard workspace to create, edit, and copy plans, and to add or remove rules from plans. You can also create rules dynamically in the Plans Wizard workspace.

Rules Wizard: Use the Rules Wizard to create, modify, copy, and delete rules.

Compensation Elements:Compensation Elements are reusable objects that contain an expression or value that can be used in one or more compensation rules.

Global Values are used to allow manual settings of specific plan, rules, elements, and values data types. 

Calendar:Calendars are used to structure the fiscal pay periods.

Credit Types:Credit Types are labels used to identify types of credits. They are used to populate the output of a credit rule.

Event Types:Event Types are labels used to identify types of transactions. They define the type of sales activity a transaction represents, such as booking, invoicing, billing, and shipping.

Customization: The Customizations workspace is used to customize the user interface. In this workspace, new fields may be added, and names of existing fields and workspaces may be customized.

System Preferences:System Preferences allow the administrator to apply system-wide settings such as pipeline settings, locales and communications. Unlike the User Preferences settings, System Preferences affect all users.

Run – Calculation Run: The Calculation Run workspace allows user to run tasks that use the Pipeline, the engine that performs tasks to calculate compensation, import data, create payments and balances, and generate dashboards.

You can submit, view, and manage your calculation jobs this workspace. The queue displays submitted and scheduled runs, as well as the last completed run. Completed jobs are removed automatically as the queue cycles through the list.

Jobs added to the queue are automatically grouped by processing unit (if enabled) and priority. Jobs run based on their priority order in the queue, and not necessarily by the order in which you submitted them.

Using Plan Communicator, compensation administrators can manage communication with their payees. Plan Communicator includes two modules: Document Distribution and Dispute Management.

 Documents: By selecting Documents, compensation administrators can manage the creation and distribution process of plan related documents to your payees.

Disputes: Dispute Management allows the administrator to manage templates for compensation disputes. A workflow can be designed to enforce approvals and open communication between the payee and the compensation team.
