Req Field Associations (RFA)

Abstract

Product: Workbench

Req Field Association (RFA)

CFAs and RFAs create a relationship between fields so that users can choose valid values on candidate form fields or req form fields. After the field is selected, users do not need to scroll through a list of options in another field that are no longer relevant. Typically, the configuration, maintenance, and initial import of CFA or RFA during implementation is completed by your Infinite Representative. You are able to export the child associations for each parent candidate form field into an Excel spreadsheet. The import feature is used to import new CFAs or RFAs and edit existing ones. As a Workbench Administrator, you have the access to add and edit CFAs or RFAs.

Warning

If Job Code Default Data populates the parent of a Req Field Association (RFA), then the child field will not be defaulted.

• If applicable, create an export file of current data to be used as the import file after making appropriate changes to it.

• Import File must be version 97-2003.

• Validate all imports in Staging first before importing to Production.

• Check all tabs of a successful import file.

• If you are reusing an import profile, remember to select the upload new file option.

• Field association can only have one parent field.

• Parent fields can have multiple children fields.

• Parent field can also be a child field.
