     in the Core Compensation functional area.
You can create templates for the
Propose Compensation Change
 or

 business processes when they're included as a subprocess of
Change Job
 or

, respectively. These templates determine how sections and fields are displayed in the
Propose Compensation Change
 or
Propose Compensation Hire
 subprocesses.
Each template applies only to the initiation step of the
Propose Compensation Change
 and
Propose Compensation Hire
 subprocess, not to the review and approve steps. You can configure up to 100 compensation change templates.

    Maintain Compensation Change Templates
     task.
    To create a new template, select the
    Add +
     button. Otherwise, select an existing template to modify.

    Change Job
     or
    Hire
     process that's associated with the specified Reason.
