Profile Options are common to all of our tools. To find the profile options applicable for this Wizard, navigate to System Profile and enter More%EMW% as shown in the screenshot below. Select the ‘Find’ button.
The profile option applicable for this Wizard will show on the ‘System Profile Values’ form as shown below.
Many profile options can be set at the Site, Application, Responsibility or User level. Modify your search in the ‘Find System Profile Options’ form to set options at the appropriate level.
Profile Options are installed when you log into an instance (from the Wizard) for the first time. If a profile option is not available then you will need to re install your profile options. To do this refer to the Reinstall Profile Options available in the Common User Topics documentation.
Common Profile Options
The following profile options are created for each of our products:
• More4Apps: EMW Allow MS-Word autocorrect characters - This profile can be set to prevent MS-Word AutoCorrect characters (which are non-ASCII) from being loaded – If these are loaded it can cause data corruption.
• More4Apps: EMW Allowed Version - This profile option is similar to ‘More4Apps: EMW Minimum version’ but is more restrictive. It will stop any version other than the listed version from operating.
• More4Apps: EMW Automatically Assign User - If this is set to ‘Yes’ new Users will be automatically assigned up to the maximum allowed by the licence key.
• More4Apps: EMW Banned - If this profile option is set to ‘Yes’ the Wizard will not operate. This can be set at the site, responsibility or user level.
• More4Apps: EMW Custom Query Manager - This profile allows customers to nominate a user to manage download queries. This is useful if the user lacks sysadmin access and cannot be granted sysadmin. The profile is set up at the user level.
• More4Apps: EMW Latest Version Used - This profile option is for internal use only. It records the highest version number used.
• More4Apps: EMW Limit to preset Application ID - Set this profile to ‘Yes’ to limit the selection of user responsibilities to those assigned to the same application as the Wizard or set to ‘No’ or leave blank to display all responsibilities assigned to the user.
• More4Apps: EMW Minimum version - This profile option allows you to record the minimum spreadsheet version number allowed. If the version number of the spreadsheet being used is less than the recorded value then the Wizard will not operate.
• More4Apps: EMW Named User - This profile enables you to control the named users for Employee Wizard and is set at the User level in Oracle. For more details on how to set up named users refer to the following Installation and Configuration Guide: Add Named Users.
• More4Apps: EMW Nominated Sysadmin for user maintenance - This profile can be set to allow a nominated Oracle user name which doesn't have System Administrator profile value access to maintain users for this product. Other users that do have System Administrator profile access can still maintain product users if this profile is set to a different person.
Note – This profile option is only available for clients with Wizard versions containing ‘Common Modules’ version 204 and greater.
• More4Apps: EMW Suppress Custom Query Functionality - This functionality can be suppressed by setting the profile option to ‘Yes’ at the user, responsibility or site level. When this profile option is set (at the appropriate level), selection of any custom query icon will produce a message of ‘The custom query functionality has been disabled by your System Administrator. Please contact your System Administrator’.
• More4Apps: EMW Unicode Encoding Option - This profile determines if character sets used by different applications are converted. By default this is set to ‘Automatic’ and should not be changed unless advised by More4Apps Support.
Product Specific Profile Options
The following profile options are specific to Employee Wizard:
• More4Apps: EMW Immediate Update Static Security Lists - If your organization uses Manual (Static) Security lists in HR to limit the appearance of employees from some business units/operating units in reports you will need to turn this profile option on. When switched on it enforces the execution of the tasks performed in the Oracle seeded job 'Security List Maintenance' which is typically scheduled to run once or twice a day. So whenever a new Employee is created in the Wizard the new employee will immediately be handled correctly within the Security List tables.
It calls the following 2 functions after the Employee API is successfully run:
hr_security_internal.clear_from_person_list(p_person_id);
hr_security_internal.add_to_person_list(p_effective_date, p_assignment_id);
These Oracle seeded functions correctly maintain the following static lists:
PER_PERSON_LIST
PER_ASSIGNMENT_LIST (not currently in use)
PER_ORGANIZATION_LIST
PER_POSITION_LIST
PAY_PAYROLL_LIST
• More4Apps: EMW Validate only - This profile can be set to ‘Yes’ to allow the customer to setup validate only for the user.
• More4Apps: EMW Restrict Create - If this is set to ‘Yes’, then the option to Create will not be shown in the Wizard.
