C_THR81 Employee Central Core Practice Question
An administrator needs to create a new Foundation Object to store 'Job Classification' data. The object must be available for selection in the Job Information portlet. Which step is required to make the new Foundation Object selectable in Job Information?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that simply creating a Foundation Object makes it automatically available in Job Information, when in fact a picklist association is required.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create a picklist based on the Foundation Object and associate it with the relevant field.
The correct method is to create a picklist that uses the Foundation Object as its data source and then associate that picklist with the relevant field in Job Information. This ensures that the values from the Foundation Object are available for selection. Other options describe incorrect or non-existent configuration steps.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Add the object to the 'Job Information' portlet's field configuration.
Why it's wrong here
Adding the object to the Job Information portlet's field configuration is not a valid step in Foundation Object setup. Foundation Objects are integrated into Job Information through specific field mappings and picklist configuration, not by directly editing the portlet's field list. This option misinterprets the configuration process for Foundation Objects.
- ✓
Create a picklist based on the Foundation Object and associate it with the relevant field.
Why this is correct
To make a Foundation Object selectable in Job Information, you must create a picklist that references the Foundation Object and then associate that picklist with the appropriate field in the Job Information portlet. This is done in Picklist Management and Field Configuration. The picklist provides the list of valid values from the Foundation Object, enabling selection during employee data maintenance.
- ✗
Assign the Foundation Object to the 'Job Information' permission role.
Why it's wrong here
Assigning the Foundation Object to a permission role controls access, not selection availability in Job Information. Permissions determine who can view or edit the object, but they do not integrate it into the portlet's UI. The object must be linked via a picklist and field configuration to appear as a selectable option.
- ✗
Enable the 'Selectable in Job Information' checkbox on the Foundation Object definition.
Why it's wrong here
There is no such checkbox as 'Selectable in Job Information' on the Foundation Object definition. Foundation Objects are made available through picklists and field mappings. This option describes a non-existent feature, which would mislead an administrator attempting to configure the system.
