Edit Submitter Field in Job Requisition Forms

In Workflow Administration > Form Builder, the Submitter field of the system default Job Requisition form is read-only and Dayforce automatically populates the name of the user that opens the form. However, you can create custom forms in which the Submitter field is editable. When editable, the field is displayed as a drop-down list from which you can select another user’s name to create a requisition on their behalf.

To update the Submitter field for new or existing custom Job Requisition forms, update the XML code as follows:

  • Remove the following tag: <!-- Submitter Employee ReadOnly Picker -->
  • Change the <IsReadOnly>True</IsReadOnly> tag to <IsReadOnly>False</IsReadOnly>
  • (Optional) Add the following tag set to “False” to override employee security and allow user to select any active employee in the Submitter field:
  • <ApplyEmployeeSecurity>False</ApplyEmployeeSecurity>
  • Or, set to “True” if you want security applied:
  • <ApplyEmployeeSecurity>True</ApplyEmployeeSecurity>
  • Add the following tag set to “True” to ensure that only active employees are displayed in the Submitter drop-down list (that is, terminated employees are excluded):
  • <ShowActiveEmployeesOnly>True</ShowActiveEmployeesOnly>

The following is an example of the XML code when configured to allow editing in the Submitter field:

</EmployeePicker>

<Label>

<Style>IVLabel</Style>

<Caption>lblJobReq_Submitter</Caption>

<Row>4</Row>

<Column>3</Column>

</Label>

<EmployeePicker>

<Style>IVAutoCompleteBox</Style>

<Row>5</Row>

<Column>3</Column>

<ItemForeground>Black</ItemForeground>

<Limit>10</Limit>

<CacheServerAnswers>True</CacheServerAnswers>

<SearchFilter>Contains</SearchFilter>

<BindingProperty>List_JobReq.SubmitterId</BindingProperty>

<IsReadOnly>False</IsReadOnly>

<InitialValue>function:Submitter</InitialValue>

<ApplyEmployeeSecurity>False</ApplyEmployeeSecurity>

<ShowActiveEmployeesOnly>True</ShowActiveEmployeesOnly>

</EmployeePicker>
