Email Notifications Reference Page Setup

The following reference pages are required in order to use the Email Notification processing in Advantage HRM:

  • Email Triggers - The Email Trigger Maintenance (EMTM) page contains information about the recipients of the email, the delivery date, and the message to be delivered. The recipient roster can be either static (a defined list of recipients at creation) or “smart”, meaning that at delivery time the Email Agent determines the recipients from organizational or group information in the trigger. Email Triggers allow the use of templates so that custom form messages can be delivered.

  • Email Reminders and Notifications - The Email Reminders and Notifications (EMRM) page contains criteria that is used to evaluate against Employee Timesheet (TIMEI), Benefits Enrollment (ENRL) and Performance Journey transaction tables.  The configurations are used to determine whether or not a specified set of employees has submitted a particular transaction or action.

When Notification is set to Performance Type Triggers, either the Performance Type or Conversation Reminder Flag has to be selected.

When Performance Type is chosen then, Evaluation From, Evaluation To, Home Department, Home Unit and Union local are mandatory fields. Wild card entries for Home Department, Home Unit and Union Local are supported. However, due to performance considerations, wild card is not recommended to bet setup for all fields.  The offline process refers the Notifications tab on the related Performance Type reference page, to trigger the reminders. Templates and Evaluation Status, Linked conversation related other criteria for Evaluation related reminders are to be set up on the Notification tab on the Performance Type (PERFTYP) reference page.

When the Notification field is set as Performance Type Triggers and Conversation Reminder Flag is chosen along with other fields for Employee Criteria then clients can send reminders to Evaluators about any ad hoc conversations which are pending and past due follow up dates.

  • Performance Type - Notifications Tab - The Notifications tab on the Performance Type page needs to be set up for the Emails and Notifications related to upcoming or overdue due dates on Evaluation.

  • Personnel Action Extension - The Personnel Action Extensions (PACTX) page extends the Personnel Action Code logic and allows Personnel Actions to initiate the sending of emails, either immediately or delayed through triggers. This table allows notifications to be delivered to the employee on which the action is performed and/or to another employee, user, or external email address.

Personnel Action Code Extensions (PACTX) allows administrators to kick off notifications whenever a specified Personnel Action is performed for an employee. The extension page allows notifications to be sent to the relevant employee or to a chosen user, employee, or external email address. Both employee and other notifications also feature a field that allows emails to be sent when a transaction is submitted, on the day of the Personnel Action, or based on a chosen number of days before or after the event.  

When transactions are submitted with a Personnel Action (or Department Action) are processed, the personnel extensions are processed as well. For each notification type on the extension, an Email Trigger is created. The date of the trigger is determined by the value in the Recipient Delay (for a user, employee, or external email address) or the Employee Delay (for the associated employee on the transaction). If the field is blank, the Email Trigger uses the current date (System Date) as the Maturity Date. If the field has a zero, then the email is scheduled for the date of the Personnel Action. If the value is a positive number, the email is scheduled a given number of days after the Personnel Action, and if the number is negative, the email is scheduled a given number of days before the Personnel Action.

  • Email Template - The Email Template reference page allows the creation of custom form-letters through the use of variables in the text.

  • Employee Benefits Enrollment Administrator (EBEA) can automatically create Email Triggers to send reminder emails when enrollment periods begin and when enrollment deadlines are approaching.

The Employee Benefits Enrollment Administrator reference page supports automatic notifications of Open Enrollment period start and end dates. Employee Benefits Enrollment Administrator allows for the notification of employees at an administrator-specified interval before Open Enrollment begins, one notification during the period, and a last reminder that the period is about to conclude. Each of these notifications can have their own independent Template specified on the page.

Whenever an EBEA entry is saved, the HRM application creates an Email Trigger for each of the notification dates. The Email Trigger contains the designated Template, a Maturity Date matching the specified notification date on the reference page, and has a smart recipient roster that corresponds to the Department/Benefits Policy combination entered on the EBEA entry. The EBEA page store the ID numbers for these triggers so that modification of the EBEA entry in the future does not result in duplicate Triggers, but in the modification or deletion of the existing associated Triggers.
