How to calculate position level ?

[pboulicaut]

We would like to add a position level in position

which gives the hierarchical level of the position :

Ceo position has no parent position and position level is 0.

Director position has ceo position as parent position and position level is 1.

manager position has director position as parent and position level is 2.

Employee position has manager position as parent and position level is 3.

If an orphan position, which is not the ceo position , then position level is set to 99.

Does it requires only a business rule to keep the position level up to date or there is additional mechanism to setup to support position changing to vacant ?

i've identified a way to get hierarchical level populated into User standard field "level"

using ORD (Canvas) report

and the field "Level in Org"

I can generate a csv file which contains PersonIDExternal, level in Org (from 1 to X)

These report will be exported into a SFTP server, then processed by Integration Center in order to be imported into the standard field Level.

I need to investigate now how to update positions when the incumbant level is changing compared to the one at the position level.

Hello Pboulicaut,

Were you able to configure it? Even i'm trying to figure out how to configure the same requirement which you mentioned.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
