C_THR81 Practice Test 7 — 10 Questions

Question 1

An administrator needs to create a new custom MDF object to track employee languages. The object should have a field for 'Language' and a field for 'Proficiency Level'. The administrator wants to ensure that the 'Proficiency Level' field only allows selection from a predefined list of values: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced. What should the administrator do to achieve this?

Choose an answer to begin — your selection is scored in the full session.

Accepted Answer

Create a new MDF object with a field of type 'Picklist' for Proficiency Level and associate it with a picklist that contains the values Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced.. To restrict the Proficiency Level field to a predefined list of values, the administrator should use a Picklist field type and associate it with a picklist containing Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. This ensures data consistency and simplifies user input by providing a dropdown menu.

Answer

Create a new MDF object with a field of type 'Number' for Proficiency Level and use a business rule to map numbers to the proficiency levels.

Answer

Create a new MDF object with a field of type 'String' for Proficiency Level and manually enter the allowed values in the field's validation section.

Answer

Create a new MDF object with a field of type 'Generic Object' for Proficiency Level and create a separate MDF object for proficiency levels with the three values.

Question 2

A company wants to ensure that when an employee's 'Job Information' is updated, a notification is sent to the employee's manager. The administrator creates a business rule on the Job Information object. Which trigger event should the administrator use to ensure the notification is sent after the changes are saved?

Accepted Answer

OnPostSave. The OnPostSave event is designed to execute after a record has been successfully saved. This guarantees that the notification is sent only when the changes are committed, aligning with the requirement. Other events either fire too early or are not related to the save action.

Answer

OnInit

Answer

OnChange

Answer

OnSave

Question 3

A company wants to track employee participation in internal training courses. Each employee can attend many courses, and each course can have many employees. The administrator needs to create an MDF object to store this relationship. Which object type should be created?

Accepted Answer

A generic MDF object with two association fields: one referencing the Employee object and one referencing the Course object.. A many-to-many relationship is modeled with a generic MDF object that contains two association fields, one to each related object. Each record represents a single pairing, and the collection of records supports multiple employees per course and multiple courses per employee, which is exactly what the scenario requires.

Answer

A generic MDF object with a field of type 'User' and a field of type 'String' for the course name.

Answer

A foundation object for courses and a separate foundation object for employees, with no association between them.

Answer

A composite MDF object with a parent-child structure where the parent is the course and the child is the employee.

Question 4

An Employee Central administrator is configuring an event reason for the 'Hire' event. The company wants to ensure that when a new employee is hired, the event reason automatically sets the employee's 'Employee Status' to 'Active' and triggers a workflow. Which configuration step must the administrator perform to associate the event reason with the 'Hire' event and enable the desired behavior?

Accepted Answer

Create a new Event Reason in the Event Reason configuration and assign it to the 'Hire' event type, then set the 'Employee Status' default and enable workflow.. Event reasons are the standard way to define the default employee status and workflow behavior for a given event, such as Hire. By creating an event reason and assigning it to the Hire event, the administrator ensures that when a hire occurs, the employee status is automatically set to Active and the associated workflow is triggered. This is the correct configuration step in Employee Central.

Answer

Configure a business rule on the Job Information object that triggers on hire and updates the Employee Status field.

Answer

Modify the Employee Status picklist to include 'Active' and set it as the default for all new hires.

Answer

Create a new workflow configuration that sets the Employee Status to 'Active' upon hire and assign it to the Hire event.

Question 5

An administrator needs to configure a business rule that triggers when an employee's 'Job Information' is updated. The rule should check if the 'Job Title' contains the word 'Manager' and, if so, set the 'Employee Class' to 'Management'. Which base object should the rule be created on?

Accepted Answer

Job Information. Business rules in Employee Central are created on a specific base object, and the rule can only directly access fields on that object or associated objects. Since the rule must evaluate Job Title and set Employee Class, both on Job Information, the rule should be based on Job Information. This ensures the rule triggers on Job Information updates and has the required fields available.

Answer

Global Assignment

Answer

Employment Details

Answer

Employee Profile

Question 6

A SuccessFactors administrator is configuring the MDF object 'Job Code' in Employee Central. The business wants to ensure that when a user creates a new Job Code record, the 'Job Family' field is required and must be selected from a valid list. The administrator decides to use a business rule to enforce this requirement. Which business rule event type should be used to trigger the rule when a new Job Code is being created?

Accepted Answer

onSave. The onSave event is designed to validate MDF object records before they are saved. It allows the rule to check that Job Family is populated and valid, and to block the save if not. onInit, onChange, and onDelete serve different purposes and cannot enforce required field validation at creation time. Therefore, onSave is the correct choice.

Answer

onChange

Answer

onDelete

Answer

onInit

Question 7

An HR administrator is configuring the Employee Central Foundation Object 'Legal Entity' for a new subsidiary. The company requires that the 'Legal Entity' field be automatically determined based on the employee's company and location, without manual selection. Which feature should the administrator configure to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Create a business rule on the Job Information object that sets Legal Entity based on the employee's Company and Location.. The correct solution is to create a business rule on the Job Information object that derives the Legal Entity from the employee's Company and Location. This rule can be triggered on save or change, automatically setting the Legal Entity field. This approach leverages Employee Central's business rule framework to enforce data consistency and reduce manual entry.

Answer

Configure the 'Legal Entity' field as a required field on the Job Information portlet.

Answer

Use a propagation rule on the Job Information object to derive Legal Entity from Company and Location.

Answer

Set up a business rule that triggers on the Legal Entity object and populates the field based on company and location.

Question 8

A consultant is configuring the 'Job Information' portlet and needs to ensure that when an employee's 'Employee Class' changes from 'Regular' to 'Temporary', the system automatically updates the 'Pay Scale Group' to a default value. The Pay Scale Group field is a foundation object. Which configuration should the consultant use?

Accepted Answer

Create a business rule on the Job Information object that triggers on change of Employee Class and sets the Pay Scale Group to a specific value using a 'Set' action.. The correct solution is to create a business rule on Job Information that triggers when Employee Class changes and uses a 'Set' action to assign the appropriate Pay Scale Group. This ensures the field is updated automatically and immediately, maintaining data integrity and reducing manual effort.

Answer

Set up a scheduled job that periodically scans employees with Employee Class 'Temporary' and updates their Pay Scale Group.

Answer

Configure a default value for Pay Scale Group in the Job Information object definition, and use a picklist dependency to change it when Employee Class changes.

Answer

Use a workflow rule that triggers on Employee Class change and sends a notification to the HR administrator to update Pay Scale Group manually.

Question 9

An administrator needs to create a new MDF object in Employee Central to store employee visa records. The object must reference the existing Employee object so that each visa record is linked to a specific employee. Which configuration step is required to establish this link?

Accepted Answer

Add a field of type 'Association' on the visa object that references the Employee object.. Linking a custom MDF object to the Employee object requires an Association field that references Employee. Associations create the underlying relationship used by the system to display related records, enforce integrity, and support reporting. Picklists, string fields, and business rules cannot create that structural link, so they do not satisfy the requirement.

Answer

Configure a business rule that copies the employee ID into the visa object on save.

Answer

Create a picklist with all employee IDs and use it as a field on the visa object.

Answer

Add a field of type 'String' and manually enter the employee's user ID.

Question 10

A company is implementing Employee Central and needs to ensure that when an employee's job information is updated, the system automatically recalculates the employee's benefits eligibility. The benefits eligibility is determined by a combination of the employee's job classification, pay grade, and service date. Which tool should the administrator use to configure this automatic recalculation?

Accepted Answer

Business rule on the Job Information object with an onSave trigger.. A business rule on the Job Information object with an onSave trigger is the appropriate tool to automatically recalculate benefits eligibility when job information is updated. It can evaluate multiple fields and trigger the necessary calculations or updates to benefits eligibility.

Answer

Scheduled job to run nightly and update benefits eligibility.

Answer

Business rule on the Benefits object with an onChange trigger.

Answer

Workflow on the Job Information object to route for approval.
