Delete Expired Activity Guides

Updated on

Overview

This job aid shows Benefits Administrators how to delete an employee’s expired activity guide.

Background

  • Self-service employees start life events by starting an activity guide that directs them through the process.
  • The life event expires automatically if the employee fails to complete the event.
  • After the event expires, a nightly process deletes the expired activity guide.
  • If an employee wants to start a new life event before the activity guide is deleted, you can delete it personally.

Find associated BAS events

  • Before you delete any activity guides, you must ensure that the associated BAS event status is Void.
  • When an employee life event expires, the associated BAS event is voided automatically. To be sure of deleting only expired activity guides, you must first verify that the BAS event is voided. Deleting the activity guide will delete the open BAS event associated with the guide.

Step 1: Open the CSU Benefits Administrator tile.

Step 2: Navigate to Employee Event Detail.

  • Review Employee Benefits > Employee Event Detail

Step 3: Enter search criteria and then click Search.

Step 4: Find the life event and verify that it is void.

  • This example is a marriage event. The event is void, and it has not been touched in 60 days.
  • Additionally:
    • Some voided life events have a system-generated corresponding event “xx1”:  NW1, AD1, BI1, PC1, MA1, DG1, DL1, EG1 AND EL1
    • You must also confirm that the corresponding event is voided. If it is not voided, then you must void the event in On Demand Event Maintenance.
    • For more information about xx1 events, see Appendix: xx1 events
