    Hello,

    I am trying to hide "Supplemental" address tab in ESS under "Personal Changes". I went to modify empaddress.htm and tried to hide the code wherever "Supplemental" was referenced. It hides it, but then the "Home Address" change submission doesn't work. It seems like I am not commenting out the right code. Has anyone ever done this? I thought it should not be that hard to hide a tab. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    KJ

      It's not hard to hide a tab in EMSS, or fields, however it does become a problem if the fields are used to update a form/table. You'd have to pass the right values to the supplemental address update since they are no longer coming from EMSS.

          This is what we did.....

          Supplemental Address

          %webdir%\lawson\xhrnet\empaddress.htm

          Add paragraph with message about not being able to edit supplemental address information and add visibility:hidden to supplemental address form
          // Supplemental address tab

          var tab1Html = ''
          + '

          You cannot edit supplemental address information.

          '
          + '<form> name="supplementalform" style="padding-top:10px; visibility:hidden">'

            In answer to the question about passing blanks to the supplemental fields: It is my understanding that the normal HR11 (or HR511) address update process will put the Home address fields into the Supplemental address fields unless entries are made to the Supplemental address fields to override that process. ESS will need to match that update process, and I don't think blanks would work.

              Thanks Margie. I tried your code and now in ESS, I still see the "Supplemental" tab , but it displays the message 'You cannot edit supplemental address information'. However, I still see the "Update" button and when I test to Home Address tab and change the address and hit Update, it throws me errors like "saddrform.suppphonenbr" is null or not an object.

              Do I need to hide anything else? What supplemental address information does it pass on HR11 if you have hidden the form? Thanks for your help

                Hi Margie,

                I am able to hide my "Supplemental" tab! Thank you so much for your help. I also made the word "Supplemental" disappear so that the users are not able to see the tab at all by modifying getSeaPhrase("SUPPLEMENTAL","ESS") to getSeaPhrase(" ","ESS"). Now in HR11 the same values get passed from "Home Address" tab. Thanks so much! I works great!

                  Glad I could help. I am going to pass on your additional step to our IT dept to see if we can do this as well.

                  Thank you for sharing your solution.
