Auto Enrollment Setup

Updated on

Overview

This job aid shows Payroll administrators how to create and maintain automatic enrollment groups.

Background

  • This PeopleSoft 9.2 feature automates enrollment in time reporter data.
  • Enrollment groups use custom rules to determine how each employee is added or updated for time reporter data and schedule assignment.
  • The CHRS team provides delivered campus-specific baseline enrollment groups based on existing campus workgroups.
  • Your campus should plan to review these baseline enrollment groups to ensure they meet your needs.
  • You can change the baseline defaults for your campus if necessary by editing the existing enrollment group or by creating new groups.

    • Elapsed Time Reporter – CSU_ELAPSE

Step 9: Optional: Set a Time Period ID.

Time Period ID field
  • If a time period ID is not set on the workgroup, or you wish to override the time period on the workgroup, set a time period ID.

  • Save for Later Option: Set to Save For Later Is Not Allowed.
  • Leave other fields with default values.

Step 14: Optional: Click the Lookup to set the default Taskgroup.

Taskgroup field: Use only if your campus uses taskgroups.
  • If your campus uses something other than the default 'CSU' taskgroup, then set the default here.

Step 15: Click Submit.

Create an auto-enrollment query

STOP: If you do not know how to build PeopleSoft queries, do not proceed. Building PeopleSoft queries is beyond the scope of this job aid. Before proceeding, ensure that you are proficient in building PeopleSoft queries. This job aid provides information specific to setting up an auto-enrollment query.

Queries define the population to enroll. Your campus starts with a set of baseline queries, one for each delivered workgroup, but you might need to create more. Use this procedure to define a query if one does not already exist.

Step 1: Navigate to Query Manager.

  • Menu > Reporting Tools > Query > Query Manager
Navbar button

Step 2: Click Create New Query.

Create new query link

Step 3: Click Properties.

Properties link

Step 4: Complete Query Properties fields:

  1. Enter a Query Name.
  2. Optional: Enter a Description
  3. Set the Query Type to Process.
  4. Set the Owner to Public.
  • Query Name:
    • Must follow the standard query naming convention: TL_AENRL_[campus 2-letter initials]_[string]
    • Example: TL_AENRL_FL_DRGRP
Query Properties fields

Step 5: Click OK.

OK button
  • You return to the main query page.

 

Step 6: Add all required records and criteria to define the group you want the auto-enrollment process to populate.

Guidelines

  • Do not include effective date criteria.
  • IMPORTANT – Ensure that all effective dated logic is removed as the Time & Labor Auto Enrollment leverages the job effective dated row for its logic.
  • IMPORTANT – The query must include your campus identifier to ensure that you enroll only employees at your campus.
  • In the Fields tab, make sure that only the Emplid and Empl_Rcd fields are returned by the query. No other fields must be returned.
The following page tabs are displayed:Records,Query,Expressions,Prompts,Fields,Criteria,
The following page tabs are displayed:Having,Dependency,Transformations,View SQL,Run

Step 7: Click Save. Your auto-enrollment query is saved.
