Creating Custom Employee Status Values

The employee status (emp_status) attribute defines if a user is active or inactive. The fields supported by default are:

·         emp_status (active)—the user account is active.

·         emp_status (inactive)—the user account is inactive.

·         emp_status (on leave)—the user account is inactive.

·         emp_status (retired)—the user account is inactive.

·         emp_status (terminated)—the user account is inactive.

If necessary, you can create additional employee status values. Each identifies the user account as either active or inactive. For example, an organization uses the value of 512 for Active and 514 for Inactive, but they also use an additional value 544 for an active user with an expired password. You can create this new active user status in ICPAM, and then enter the definition in EDI.

Procedure:

Step 1   Enable the Employee Statuses module (which is disabled by default).

a.  Select Profiles from the Users menu.

b.  Double-click the user profile for the user who administers EDI projects.

For example, select Administrators.

You can also select the profile name and click Edit.
