In order to cater to specific business needs, some fields may be needed additionally on the Job Data page. Drop Zones can be used to facilitate and maintain such custom fields. Drop Zones ensure customizations are eliminated and just by configuration, the requirement is satisfied. Four Drop Zone pages are available to allow the configuration of custom pages and fields.

Page and Field Configurator can be used to hide tabs and fields that may not be needed for the Job transactions without customizations.

After all the necessary steps are progressed one by one, HR can add attachments in the Add Attachment page. The attachment page can also be used to remove attachments.

The Fluid job data uses the attachments framework to enable HR to include supporting documents related to the employee’s job transaction, like a manager’s recommendation for an employee promotion.

Fluid Job data gives the flexibility for the HR representatives or HR Business Partners to initiate the job data transactions and the HR administrators to review and approve it. The “Manage Configurations” tile is used to facilitate this approval.
