- New Organization Designer user interface -
Edit modes are sets of permissions that provide users with access to make certain types of updates in Organization Designer > Positions, including creating positions, deleting positions, or updating specific position attributes. You can associate each edit mode with a different workflow so that different types of changes are sent to the right people for approval. You assign edit modes to user roles so that managers have access to make only the changes that are appropriate for their role.
Role feature access: Organization Designer > Configuration
You can create any number of edit modes, and you can assign multiple edit modes to each user role. Edit modes are optional. If you don’t use edit modes, all users with access to positions can make all types of changes, and all changes are submitted for approval through the same workflow.
The following options control which editing actions users can do when they’re assigned the edit mode:
- Create Position: Users can add positions to the position hierarchy.
- Delete Position: Users can delete positions.
- Update Position: Users can update specific position attributes.
If you select Update Position access for an edit mode, you also need to select which of the following attributes users can update:
- Active To Date
- Name
- Position Number
- Reference Code
- Ledger Code
- Full Time Equivalent
- Position Description
- Supports Interim Occupancy
- Frozen
- Supervisory Details
