HR10.1 - Data Item Attributes

A data item is a field used to store employee information such as rate of pay
and join date. A topic refers to a window of HR11.1 (Employee). The Topic
field lets you display data items for specific topics.

Use HR10.1 (Data Item Attributes) to determine the attributes for the
 - Update Personnel Action,
 - Required,
 - Log Changes, and
 - Security Level fields.

The Update Personnel Action, Required, and Security Level fields apply only
to fields from the HR11.1 (Employee). The Log Changes field applies to all
employees, applicants, job codes, supervisors, and deductions.

The Update Personnel Action field lets you determine if you must change an
employee data item through a personnel action instead of maintaining it
directly in HR11.1. Changes made through a personnel action are only available
with the Lawson Personnel system. Requiring that changes be made via a
personnel action provides assurance that all fields related to an event are
changed.

The Required field lets you determine if a field is required anytime you add
or change an employee record on any program. When the system is delivered, all
fields required to run a payroll cycle are set up as required fields. This can
be changed if desired. Required fields also provide navigation through the
tabs of HR11.1.

The Log Changes field lets you determine if a field change is to be logged,
creating an audit trail.

The Security Level field lets you assign a security level of 1-9 to a data
item. The highest security level is 1. To be able to access the field for
personnel actions, employee inquiry and HR Writer features, a user's field
security defined in HR09 (Field Level Security) must be equal to or less than
the security level defined for the field.

Refer to the Lawson Human Resources Procedures Manual for more information on
system security.

HR10.2 - Position Item Attributes

Use HR10.2 (Position Item Attributes) to define default and override behavior
for each data item in the Position Management topic.

A data item is a field used to store information about a position such as
department, schedule, and supervisor. For each data item, you indicate if it
is required when adding a position code and how it should default on employee
and requisition records.

Access this form by selecting Position Management (PO) in the Topic field on
HR10.1 (Data Item Attributes).
