Leave Request, Message that has 'Coming Soon' to our users

[former_member552974]

Hello Everyone,

We are going live with ESS in the next few months and although we are rolling ESS out to everyone, we are piloting Leave Request to our Exempt population. I would like for our Exempt associates to access Leave Request normally, but have our other ESS users see a message titled 'Coming Soon' when they access Leave Request. For our other (non-exempt users) they should see the 'Coming Soon' message but also not see any of the functionality of Leave Request. My preference is to do this without making two portal roles.

Does anyone know of a good way to accomplish this in SAP Config. If no option exist in config, then how about the Portal/WDJ?

Thank you for your help.

making use of the proxy class, You can decide to which EG the leave request should be available.

Hi Everyone,

I would like to follow up on this to see if anyone has any further ideas on how to show a message on leave request that is based on the employee (payroll area).

Unfortunately using a proxy class is not going to work for us because we are not using the homepage framework.

An alternative solution to a message is to hide certain fields on the leave request application for a group of associates that have a certain payroll area (ABKRS). For example, it would be beneficial for us to hide the fields 'Type of Leave', 'Date', 'Time', etc because we do not want to allow a group of associates to submit leave; however, it would be ok for them to see their Team Calendar.

Does anyone know how this could be accomplished? If a change to the WDJ is required, then will you please give direction as to where and how in the WDJ this could be changed? I have imported the WDJ already but I am at a loss as to what to do next.

Best Regards,

Scott

Hi Scott,

Well boradly this will depend on how you have grouped these pilot users. If there are any specific identifier i.e. Emploeye Group/Sub Group or you have storing these users in a Z table probably you can use Proxy class to hide/display set of services.

For concerned users you may display custom service with designatd text.

Don't think you can customize Portal Role to do so.. since ESS services are populated from Home Page Framework., So either you create two seperate Frameworks and assign them to two different Portal roles. Or we can follow first method.

Hi Sudhir,

Thank you for the reply. Yes, the groups are grouped together by EE Group/Subgroup grouping. If you do not mind, will you elaborate on what you mean by using a Proxy class to hiding/displaying a set of services?

Thanks,
