Configure a record producer for an HR service

Make an existing HR service available for employee self-service by adding it to the HR service catalog.

Before you begin

Role required: sn_hr_core.admin

About this task

To avoid creating duplicate services, do not create a new HR catalog item. Instead, configure a record producer to link your existing HR service to the HR service catalog. For optimal performance, use one record producer per HR service.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > HR Administration > HR Services > HR Service Configuration.

  2. Open the HR service.

  3. Open the record producer for that service.

    Note: To create a new record producer for the HR service, click the Lookup icon, and then click New.

    Since you are configuring the record producer from the HR service form, make sure to:

    1. In the What it will contain related list, provide the following script:

      new sn_hr_core.hr_ServicesUtil(current, gs).createCaseFromProducer(producer, cat_item.sys_id);

  2. In the Variables related list, configure the variables for the HR catalog item as appropriate.

    Variables collect information from the user, and are used to ask questions and map answers to fields. You can add as many variables as you need to the HR catalog item. Commonly used variables types include:

    • Checkbox
    • Multiple Choice
    • Reference
    • Select Box
    • Single Line Text To learn more about the different types of variables and how to configure them, see Types of service catalog variables.

  3. In the Available For and Not Available For related lists, configure the user criteria to apply to the HR catalog item as appropriate.

    User criteria controls which employees can access and request the HR catalog item in the HR service catalog. To learn more about user criteria and how they are used to control access to HR catalog items, see Set security for items and categories.

    Note: User criteria applied to the HR catalog item is employee-facing only, and has no relation to the HR criteria that is used to control what HR services an HR agent can request for an employee from the Create New Case module. See Configure an HR service for more information.
