Creating fields that reference additional employee properties configured in Dayforce is similar to the process of creating fields with the <Field> tag. Most of the tags used to configure employee property fields follow the same behavior and definition as other workflow fields, but employee properties need two different, additional tags. The <Field> tag is replaced with the <EmployeeProperty> tag, and the <BindingProperty> tag is replaced with the <PropertyXRefCode> tag.
Note: When you add an employee property, you must also add a field that captures the global effective start date of the employee property. If you don't add the global effective start date, the form fails when a user tries to submit the form. The field doesn't need to be visible on the form. The suggested placement of the date field is after the last <Field> tag on the form, before the </Formbody> tag.
Example Use
<EmployeeProperty>
<Style>IVComboBox</Style>
<Block>n</Block>
<Row>n</Row>
<Column>n</Column>
<PropertyXRefCode>EmployeePropertyXrefCode1</PropertyXRefCode>
</EmployeeProperty>
The following is an example of a field that captures the global effective start date as today's date. The field isn't visible on the form:
<Field>
<Style>IVDatePicker</Style>
<Row>89</Row>
<Column>0</Column>
<BindingProperty>GlobalEffectiveStart</BindingProperty>
<Visible>false</Visible>
<InitialValue>function:today</InitialValue>
</Field>
