Concept: Condition Rules for Job Changes

Concept: Condition Rules for Job Changes

This topic is relevant to the enhanced change job experience. The new change job experience is available to all customers at this time.
You can add condition rules to the
Change Job
business process to determine which subprocesses can be initiated during a job change. Workday evaluates the condition rules based on the data you submit on the initiating page. Workday looks at the rules based on this order:
  1. Condition rules.
  2. Business process definition.
  3. Your configuration on the
    Maintain Change Job Templates
     task.
  4. Change job consolidated template.

Example: Condition Rule Setup

You add
Change Organization Assignments
 as a subprocess to the
Change Job
 business process. You create a condition rule for the
Change Organization Assignments
 step to run only when a worker's location changes:
And/Or
Source External Field
Relational Operator
Comparison Type
Comparison Value
And
Location - Proposed
NOT exact match with the selection list
Value from another field
Location - Current
The implications of this condition rule:
  1. Teresa's manager, Steve, accesses the
    Change Job
     task and changes Teresa's location on the on the initiating page. The template doesn’t include the
    Change Organization Assignments
     subprocess.
  2. The condition rule on the
    Change Organization Assignments
     step determines that Teresa's location changed.
  3. Steve reviews the
    Organizations
     section, changes Teresa's cost center, and submits the changes.
  4. The process routes to an HR administrator for review, and the administrator approves the change.
  5. Workday updates Teresa's location. Based on the condition rule on the
    Change Organization Assignments
     step, Workday also updates Teresa's cost center.
