I created a DFF using PER_ASG_DF flexfield. I trying to pull the DBI of this DFF into Fast
Formula.
I tried submitting the Create DBI process and selected the names Assignment EIT Information
EFF, Legislative Assignment Attribute and ran the process successfully. But no result I was not
able to search the DBI in Fast Formula section.
Can someone help me in getting the DBI for this.
Thanks

This process doesn't support this flex PER_ASG_DF. As mentioned above, you can use already
existing DBI PER_ASG_ATTRIBUTE1

Hi,
I have a question here, you have created the segment in PER_ASG_DF and ran the process for
PER_ASSIGNMENT_EIT_EFF.
Thanks,

Hello
For flexfields (such as DDFs, EFFs, and KFFs) you should Generate the DBI’s by running the
‘Generate Database Items’ process and the same set of
You need to go to
Checklist > Submit Process or Report > Select 'Generate Database Items' > Choose your DFF>
Provide context name and run the process
If you have created multi row context you can use those DBI as Array DBi in fast formula.

That's the issue here, you have created a segment in one flex(PER_ASG_DF) and ran process for
other flex (PER_ASSIGNMENT_EIT_EFF).

Hi,
You are not missing anything. What you said is right. I'm not able to find PER_ASG_DF in the
names list in the Create DBI Process so I'm trying whatever showing up there.
Thanks

I was able to find this. I'm storing a flag 'Y' or 'N' in this. Do you know if we can establish an
Eligibility Criteria based on the values present in the DFF? If so can you let me know how
Hi Zongyan,
Extensible Flexfields
An extensible flexfield is similar to a descriptive flexfield, but does not have a fixed number of segments,
and allows grouping of segments into contexts. Can be either single
In Manage Person there is a dedicated page called Extra Information where al the context for the Person
EIT Information flexfield are grouped together. When defining your
Person EIT Information flexfields you must also be sure to add your context to the Pages tab so that it
will display on the EIT page. The following note should help:
Newly added context of EFF Person EIT Information not displayed (Doc ID 1573610.1)
Setup by Navigating to Setup and Maintenance -> Manage Extensible Flexfields task
Search for EIT e.g Person EIT Information, Edit and Click on Manage Contexts button and search to see
existing contexts. Need to Create new context, and segments then add to Associated Contexts in
previous page.
Thanks
Phil.
Hi Zongyan ,
The Assignment EIT would be appearing in the Manage Employment UI , below the Supervisor Field.
This would appear once you are able to create and deploy the EIT structure successfully ( including
associating the Custom Category/segments in the PAGE tab ).
I believe there is recently bug that was introduced recently by which we are unable to associate the the
custom segments to the Page context which is getting fixed very soon.
To answer your question on the thread , the Assignment EIT , after it has been created successfully
following all the required steps for an EIT would appear in the Manage Employment UI below the
Supervisor field.
