Org visibility refers to the employee’s location access in the Location Access tab of the Security Access section in the Security Settings screen of People. When this mapping value is selected, the ShortName-XRefCode column shows a drop-down list with the following options:

• Employee Assigned Org - Assigned Org: The rule assigns the employee location access based on the department selected in their primary work assignment.
• Employee Assigned Site - Assigned Site: The rule assigns location access based on the site that the department of their primary work assignment belongs to.

The result of the update for this value depends on the employee’s existing location access. This update can also result in an end date being assigned to the user's existing location management in the Managed Locations section of the Work > Management Assignments screen of People.

If none of the employee’s existing access is in the same org tree as the mapped location (for example, a different site), the following occurs:

• An end date is assigned to the employee’s existing primary location access and location management records.
• Primary location access is added for the mapped location.

If any of the employee’s existing access is in the same org tree as the mapped location (for example, a department in the same site), the following occurs:

• An end date is assigned to the employee's existing location management that is at the highest level in the same org tree. In the case that the employee has a few management records that are in the same tree, like individual departments, Dayforce end dates only the management record that’s at the highest level (for example, the site).
• No changes are made to location management records outside of the same tree (for example, a different site).
• Non-primary location access is added for the mapped location, and existing location access is left as is.

Note: If you want to map both User Org Visibility and User Org Visibility and Management values at the same time, the rule with the User Org Visibility value must be placed above the rule with the User Org Visibility and Management value.

• Employee Assigned Site - Assigned Site: The rule assigns the employee location management and location access based on the site that the department of their work assignment belongs to.

The result of the update for this value depends on the employee’s existing location access and location management. If none of the employee’s existing access is in the same org tree as the mapped location (for example, a different site), the following occurs:

• An end date is assigned to the employee’s existing primary location access and location management records.
• Primary location access and location management records are added for the mapped location.

If any of the employee’s existing access is in the same org tree as the mapped location (for example, a department in the same site), the following occurs:

• The employee’s existing location access and location management records are left as is.
• Non-primary location access and location management records are added for the mapped location.
