Lifecycle Events

You can activate Human Resources Scoped App: Lifecycle Events [com.sn_hr_lifecycle_events] if you have the admin role. This plugin includes demo data and activates related plugins if they are not already active.

Use the Jobs table to create lifecycle event cases where you can specify which job the case pertains to.

Clone a lifecycle event and its associated activity sets and activities with the lifecycle event builder.

Several types of components install with the activation of the Human Resources Scoped App: Lifecycle Events [com.sn_hr_lifecycle_events] plugin, including tables and user roles.

Enable your managers and employees to open employee requests directly from Lifecycle events so that they don't have to create a new HR case or request.

Create or modify a lifecycle event activity set to define a container for a group of activities.

Create or modify a lifecycle event activity. Lifecycle Events activities can be approvals, employee tasks, fulfiller activities, notifications, flows, content, or activity containers.

Build a lifecycle event and its associated activity sets and activities with the lifecycle event builder.

Create a corresponding HR service so that the lifecycle event can be requested for service as part of an employee's journey.

Create or modify an activity configuration to define the fulfillment process and conditions for closure for a lifecycle event activity.

Create or modify an owning group to define the user group that owns a lifecycle event activity. Each owning group is responsible for overseeing the activities that fall under their purview.

Cancel and revert work done in a lifecycle event case with the rescind process. Rescind activities can be defined to notify employees and departments when a case is rescinded, trigger automated flows, and revert work already completed, such as the provisioning of equipment or the setting up of a workplace.

Create or modify a schedule content template to deliver content as part of a lifecycle event. Each template must be associated with the Schedule Content [sn_cd_content_visibility] table, and you can configure the template for mobile content, portal content, notification content, or to-do content.

Configure the supporting components for a lifecycle event. Lifecycle events are a collection of activities. For each activity, you must identify and configure the underlying components that support it, such as HR task templates, order guides, catalog items, and HR services. You must also identify and configure the relevant owning groups, activity types, and audience records.

Plan and configure Lifecycle Events.

Enable your users to create common requests from Lifecycle Events so that they don't have to create a new HR case or request. When your users open a request, any related cases and tasks are automatically associated with the parent event.

Create a lifecycle event case. A lifecycle event case is an HR case that is fulfilled by a lifecycle event. For example, the HR service for New Hire Onboarding is fulfilled by the lifecycle event for New Hire Onboarding.

Create a corresponding HR service so that the lifecycle event can be requested for service. For example, the lifecycle event for New Hire Onboarding has a corresponding HR service also named New Hire Onboarding. When an HR case for that HR service is created, the HR case will be fulfilled by the associated lifecycle event.

Define and document the lifecycle event process. Lifecycle events are generally cross-departmental and require action from different departments.

You can create and track requests that are opened by users from within Lifecycle Events so that your users don't have to create a new HR case or request. Requests from your users can be either an HR service or a catalog item.

Lifecycle Events enables you to automate the fulfillment of HR cases such as new hire onboarding.

Filter lifecycle event activities by activity type, owning group, audience, and rescind. You can also search for individual activities by name.

Lifecycle events enable you to automate the fulfillment of HR cases such as new hire onboarding.

Use the lifecycle event test tool to thoroughly test a lifecycle event before launching it.

As an administrator, you can change the default time that an activity set waits before the activity set is evaluated.

Administrators can configure activity set triggers to make activities in an activity set available.

You can add an ad hoc task or case to an active lifecycle event case and associate it to a specific activity set. When tasks are added they appear for the subject person under My Tasks or the Review your work in the Employee Center or Employee Center Pro.

Create triggers for activity sets in Lifecycle Events.

Use the sn_hr_le.log_level system property to enable logging for Lifecycle Events. The log entries that are generated can be used to identify errors or to acquire pertinent data about the processes that ran in a Lifecycle Events case.

You can view and use the Condition with Event BR (Demo) business rule to trigger an evaluation of your activity set faster.

Information about Lifecycle Events triggers and workflow.

You can trigger activity sets using an event that is included in the Condition with Event BR (Demo) activity set or you can create and use server-side code (business rule, event script, scheduled job, etc.) that triggers the check_activity_set_trigger event into the HR Activity Set Trigger Check workflow.

There is a mechanism available to ensure timers within a workflow trigger automatically rather than wait for the evaluation interval to trigger.

Lifecycle Events supports logging to capture events that occur in a Lifecycle Events case. Organization administrators can use the event logs that are generated to identify errors or to acquire information about the processes that ran in a Lifecycle Events case.

Lifecycle Events customers upgrading from the Washington DC or Xanadu release to the Yokohama release can use a system property to define the workflow technology that the Lifecycle Events app uses for its base system workflows.

Ensure that the activity sets you have defined for Lifecycle Events progress seamlessly through completion when they meet the conditions to be triggered for a Lifecycle Events case.

Customize the appearance of the lifecycle event builder. You can change the colors of the different activity types, as well as change the color and size of the activity set columns.

View the log entries associated with a Lifecycle Events case to acquire pertinent information about the processes that ran and to identify any errors that surface. The error logs can be used as a tool to diagnose problems and effectively troubleshoot the root cause of an issue that is adversely affecting a Lifecycle Events case.

Script includes call workflows within Lifecycle Events.

The HR Activity Set Launcher workflow drives the entire lifecycle event process. Associated workflows drive each of the activity sets within a lifecycle event.

Lifecycle event properties control the behavior of lifecycle events. You can set the duration of the activity set closure time in hours.

Reference content helps administrators and users understand the installed components of an application and how those components interact.

Use lifecycle event dashboards to gain visibility into active lifecycle event and onboarding cases.

Resume a lifecycle event case after a workflow error or workflow timeout.

Select the Lifecycle Event that you want to use with Now Mobile. When an onboarding case for that event type is created, the new hire completes the to-dos that are associated with that case.

Monitor the status of a lifecycle event case with activity set execution contexts. You can monitor the state of each activity set in a lifecycle event case. You can further monitor the state of the individual activities. You can also report on the activity set contexts table in conjunction with the HR case table.

Preview and test a lifecycle event for different audience types. You can preview a lifecycle event to validate which activities will trigger or not for a particular audience. You can then create a test lifecycle event case for different users and select which activities to include or exclude in your test.

Use the Preview and Test capabilities to verify that the employee request activity has been configured correctly.

Use Lifecycle Events to automate the fulfillment of HR cases such as new hire onboarding.
