Running Extended Attribute Rules

The Extended Attributes Rules Configuration page is used to mass update Extended Employee Attributes that are assigned to employees. Attributes are mass updated by building a list of employees based on current assignments (similar to the Roster Rule Builder) and then updating specific attributes.

To run an Extended Attribute Rule Set

5. Click the Run All Rules button at the bottom of Attribute Assignment Rules table. ARCOS runs the rules for the current rule set. The Run Status column will update with the number of records found versus the number of records updated.

Note: If a rule has been previously ran but not committed, you will not be able to run any other rules. You can click the Clear Pending button to cancel the pending rule or the Commit Pending button to commit the previous rule's changes.
