Business Role

The Business Role (BUSROLE) reference page is used to define each instance of a business role. Note: The Enterprise Search Lite Indexer job must be run after changes are made to this page.

Field Name	Description
Business Role ID	A unique identification of a business role for system use. Business Role IDs less than 500000 are reserved for delivered and sample business roles. Numbering is controlled by a Unique Numbering record of R_BUS_ROLE.
Business Role Name	A required long descriptive name of a business role. This value is displayed to users in the User Profile panel.
Business Role Short Name	A required short descriptive name of a business role.
Business Role Description	A required lengthy description of a business role that is intended to capture the intended type of users for a business role.
Internal Business Role Description	An optional lengthy descriptive field to capture any type of internal information for subsequent business role administrators about a business role.
Active	An indication that can be used to prevent the association of a business role to a user. When not active, a role cannot be associated with a user and if already associated before being deactivated, the system will not display the role within the User Profile panel.
Home Page ID	The identification of the home page associated with the business role. A successful save of the business role updates the Parent Business Roles field on the Home Page Configuration reference page. Mobile home page is filtered out from pick list, so that only a regular home page can be associated to a Business Role.
Home Page Name	The inferred Home Page Name for the selected Home Page ID for informational purposes.
Role Type Information	An indication that determines how certain Human Resource Management pages (for example; Travel, Time and Leave, and Employee Search) are displayed. It is based on whether a given business role is intended for a manager, employee, or clock user. Roles that do not need this distinction should leave the field blank. Valid values include Manager, Employee, or Clock User. Note: If Manager or Employee is selected, then a User Type can be specified on the User to Business Role Association page.
Primary Application	This field is not used at this time.
Available when Restricted	When a business role should be available in an external application (for example, Vendor Self Service), this indication must be true. An indication of false will prohibit the role in an external application.
Enable General Business Process	This check box should be selected if the Business Role should display the General Business Process menu in the Primary Navigation Panel (left panel). This check box is delivered not checked.
Enable Business Intelligence Business Process	This check box should be selected if the Business Role should display the Business Intelligence Business Process menu in the Primary Navigation Panel (left panel). This check box is delivered not checked.
