Attestation Template Mappings

Attestation template mapping is a tool that allows you to customize and update Attestation workflows — without using Workflow Designer to make changes to the underlying Attestation model and, importantly, without needing to redeploy the model to publish changes. Examples of the types of changes supported by Attestation template mappings include:

Supported Attestation models

Attestation template mapping is supported in these Attestation models, starting with the versions listed.

  • Attestation Paycode v3
  • Geolocation Consent Form v4
  • Attestation Paycode for Manual Time Entry v2
  • Meal Lockout Form v3
  • Cancel Specified Meal Break v2
  • Meal Lockout Form for Manual Time Entry v2

UKG Pro Workforce Management includes a default Attestation template mapping with each of these models.

Note: Earlier versions of these models do not support Attestation template mapping.

Variables are externalized

The name/value pairs that define Attestation workflow variables used in Attestation models have been externalized in the Attestation template mappings associated with these models. This makes workflow variables easy to access, identify, and change, directly through the application. You do not have to modify the Attestation model using Workflow Designer to update Attestation workflow variables.

  • Note: Variables specified in Attestation components (questions, answers, buttons, and so on) are referenced in UKG Pro Workforce Management, but they can be created only using the Workflow Designer. See the Business Processes Developer's Guide for more information.

    • Example — making simple text changes

    Consider the default values for the Attestation question and answers in the Simple Question Form v4 model. The values in the Text column are displayed to the user during Attestation.

    Type Text Variable
    Question Question text placeholder simpleQuestion
    Answer - Negative negative answer simpleQuestionNegativeAnswer
    Answer - Positive positive answer simpleQuestionPositiveAnswer

    For models that support Attestation template mapping, changing a value in a new or deployed workflow is a simple matter of updating the text in the Attestation template mapping associated with the model. Once your changes (replacing Question text placeholder with Do you have a fever today?, for example) are saved, they are picked up automatically and are available the next time the workflow associated with the model is initiated. Changes to buttons, conditions, and answer actions are achieved with similar ease.

    To make these types of changes in models that do not support Attestation template mapping requires opening the Attestation model in Workflow Designer, navigating through the business process model to locate the variable (in this example, simpleQuestion), changing its value, and then redeploying the updated Attestation model. Attestation template mappings remove the need to use Workflow Designer, and allow you to implement small but impactful changes quickly and easily.
