What to know about Employee Central Core
Be able to select the right Employee Central tool for a requirement: MDF custom objects, picklists, business rules, and Job Information configuration. The most important thing is matching the correct object, field, and trigger to the scenario, especially for dependent fields and event-reason-driven rules.
Configuring Job Information fields with dynamic picklists driven by preceding field selections
Using MDF to create custom objects with fields, associations, and object relationships
Writing business rules on Job Information triggered by event reasons such as Transfer
Diagnosing hire flows that create Contingent Worker versus regular Employee records
Watch out for
Common Employee Central Core exam traps
- ▸Confusing MDF-based picklists with legacy platform picklists, leading to wrong configuration paths for dependent fields.
- ▸Assuming business rules fire on save regardless of event reason, instead of scoping the rule to the correct trigger.
- ▸Mixing up Employee and Contingent Worker record creation logic, so hire defaults produce the wrong employment type.
