Prerequisites

Position Detail page

To link degrees to positions on the Position Detail page, the following prerequisites must be met:

Access and position conditions (all options)

  • The user must have security function 357 assigned.

Additionally, these operational conditions must be met before the Degrees action button is visible:

  • The position must already be saved. The button is hidden when adding a new position; however, when you select Save, a wizard launches and takes you through the pages to link qualifications, certifications, requirements, and degrees to positions.

  • The position must be Active with an As of Date on or after today, or have a status of In Progress. The button is hidden for Closed and Inactive positions (except read-only access for Denied or Canceled approval statuses).
