Clone

Many screens accept data entry for new records through the clone function that is available through the Clone icon.

Record cloning expedites the process of adding records to employee and validation tables.

On any screen with the Clone icon, clicking on the Clone icon changes the mode of the screen to accept a new record. Saving keeps the new record.

Add detail records instead of editing existing detail records when appropriate to establish history.

Note:  A system control can be enforced that makes an employee's own records view-only in the online system, except through self-service roles. A user with a different employee number needs to add records for the employee.

How to Clone

• An employee's records?  When an employee is transferred to a new company using the Employee Company Transfer Wizard a new employee master record with a new employee number is created. Options during the transfer process include copying payroll, human resource, and benefit assignments.
• An employee detail record?  To clone a detail record, go to the appropriate detail screen, select the Employee Number, click on the Clone icon, choose a new code, complete all required fields, and save.

• A code record?  To clone a code in a validation codes table, go to the appropriate Validation Table, and click on the Clone icon, change the entry in the Code field, complete all required fields, and save.
