If your district plans to use ESS only for tracking sub-calling, entering leave requests, approving leave requests and exporting leave requests to USPS, there is no Frontline Absence Management (AESOP) integration setup required. For additional information about substitute tracking in ESS, please refer to the following chapters:
System>Configuration>Default Substitute for Appointment Type Configuration: Allows user with District Manager or Admin role the ability to set certified, classified (or both) appointment types to require ‘Substitute Needed” on a user’s leave request.
Sub Coordinator: Allows user with Sub Coordinator, District Manager or Admin role the ability to view outstanding leave requests that have been marked with ‘Substitute Needed’. Users with one of these roles will then be able to enter substitute information on outstanding leave requests.
...
If your district is using Frontline Absence Management (AESOP) for all staff sub-scheduling, leave request entry, leave request approval and leave request exporting to USPS, but you would like ESS to pull Frontline Absence Management (AESOP) leave request data into ESS for users to view (only), you will proceed with the following Frontline Absence Management (AESOP) configuration integration steps:
Please refer to the ESS Conversion Guideline and Employee Self Service Import from Kiosk guide if your district plans to use ESS to view USPS employee profile information, position details, leave balances, payslips, W2s and/or Frontline Absence Management (AESOP) leave requests in ESS. Since your district is not using ESS for leave request workflows, you may skip steps 6-10 in the Employee Self Service Import to Kiosk guide. Step 12 will convert the AESOP configuration settings from Kiosk to the ESS System>Configuration>AESOP Configuration settings.
NOTE: Since ESS workflows will NOT be used for leaves coming since ESS is pulling leave requests from Frontline Absence Management (AESOP) in ESS, users cannot submit and/or approve leave requests in ESS. Leave requests must be created and approved in Frontline Absence Management (AESOP). As stated above, ESS will pull leave request data from Frontline Absence Management (AESOP) into ESS with an ‘Approved’ status. Users and Supervisors will be able to view (only) Frontline Absence Management (AESOP) leave requests in ESS. The leave requests will be denoted with an external ID and origin of Absence Management and are pulled into ESS every hour on a scheduled job.
AESOP Integration>Data Import View will display various grids based on the current activity of the AESOP leave request. Leave Manager, District Manager and Admin roles have the ability to view the data in these grids. Please refer to the Data Import View option below for more information.
NOTE: Exporting Leave Requests in from ESS
If the district exports approved Frontline Absence Management (AESOP) leave requests from ESS in order to post into USPS, the status of the leave request in ESS will change from approved to exported. However, ESS does not push leave request status updates to Frontline Absence Management (AESOP), therefore the leave request status will NOT be updated in Frontline Frontline’s Absence Management (AESOP) to reflect that it’s been exported to USPS.
...
If your district would like to use Frontline Absence Management (AESOP) to submit leave requests for staff who need a substitute and ESS for staff who do not need a substitute, workflow setup will need to take place in both applications. For those needing a sub, the leave request and workflow approval process must be set up and performed in Frontline Absence Management (AESOP). For those who do not need a sub, the leave request and workflow approval process can be set up and performed in ESS.
Please refer to the ESS Conversion Guideline and Employee Self Service Import from Kiosk guide if your districts plans to use ESS for leave request workflow for staff who do not require a sub and also allow ALL staff to view USPS employee profile information, position details, leave balances, payslips , W2s and/or Frontline Absence Management (AESOP) leave requests in ESS. and W2s.
For staff who require a substitute, their existing Kiosk workflow should not be converted to ESS and instead their approval workflow and leave requests must be created in Frontline Absence Management (AESOP).
