Updating Hire Form to Have ID fields

nphillip

Hi:

We want to customize the HireForm so the HR department can enter the ID fields (ID.Type, ID,IssuingAuthority, ID.DocumentNumber, etc.) on the form.

In ISD the fields are visible, but we can't add them to the form unlike the Name fields (GivenName, FamilyName, etc.). In the employee business class, ID is defined as a persistent field. Name is also defined as a persistent field but as follows: Name is a PersonName. I'm guessing defining name this way allows you to reference the items in the PersonName group using the Name.field notation.

Does anyone have any idea how/if we can add the ID fields to the HireForm?

Thanks

Hi Neil, yeah, I believe you've got it btw.   So the "ID" field defined on Employee is what is called a Group Field. A Group Field is basically a collection of other fields. The definition of ID is shown below.

On an Employee form you can specify the individual group field members like this:

two column
                ID.Type
                ID.IssuingAuthority
                ID.DocumentNumber
                ID.State
                ID.IDClass
                    label is "Class"
                ID.ExpirationDate

You don't need "two column" choose any layout directive you want of course.

Definition:

ID is a Field

    Representation

        Group Fields

            Type                   is Numeric 1

                States

                    DriversLicense  value is 1

                    IDCard              value is 2

                    Other                 value is 9

            IssuingAuthority is Alpha 50

            DocumentNumber      is Alpha 50 //@PII

                holds pii

            State                  is AlphaUpper size 3

            IDClass              is Alpha 3

            ExpirationDate   is Date

You could look this up via Config Console > LPL Viewer btw.
