Purpose

You can define up to four subcategories for one category within the Employee Interaction Center (EIC). These categories and subcategories are needed for purposes such as reporting. In the program PHREIC_CATEG_TREE, the categories and subcategories are displayed in the form of a tree structure. The root is defined for each of these structures.

You can display all categories and subcategories that are valid in a certain time period with this program. The standard setting for the validity period of the time period is from the current date to 12/31/9999.

You can set a different validity period by choosing change validity period. Enter the desired period of time and choose execute. The tree structure will then be reset for the new validity period.

Activities

You can do the following to edit the categories and subcategories:

  • Expand and collapse the tree structure

    You can choose to show or hide the subcategories. The first two levels are displayed by default.

  • Show and change the the attributes of a category or subcategory

    You can show or change attributes by double-clicking on the node of the category or subcategory.

    You can change the description and indicator for the next level. You can also change the position in the tree structure.

  • Insert a new category or subcategory

    To do this, highlight the relevant area on the tree by clicking on it, then select the insert icon.

    • You can create an unlimited number of categories.
    • You cannot create more than four subcategories for one category.

      When creating a new category or subcategory, enter a short text and the validity period. Determine where you want the category or subcategory to be located on the tree structure. Enter whether or not the next level for this category should be required. If you set this indicator, then corresponding subcategory must be given when creating an activity.

      The validity period of a subcategory must lie within the validity period of the superordinate category.

  • Copy and paste categories and subcategories

    You can copy categories and subcategories and insert them into another location on the tree structure.

    After copying, the tree structure will be generated again. When you copy a category or subcategory, the system automatically copies all subcategories. The key will be automatically generated here. The program also makes sure that no more than four levels of subcategories are created during the copying process.

  • Delimit and reactivate categories and subcategories

    If you would like to delimit a category or subcategory, choose delimit and enter the date from which the category or subcategory should no longer be valid as the end date.

    If you would like to reactivate a delimited category or subcategory, select reactivate and enter the date from which the category or subcategory should once again become valid as the starting date.

    When you delimit a category, the system automatically delimits all subcategories. However, when you reactivate a category or subcategory, only this particular node will be reactivated and not the subordinate subcategories.

  • Delete categories or subcategories

    You can delete individual categories and subcategories. In this case the system always deletes all subordinate subcategories as well.
