Added Plan Type Specific Fieldsets to the Benefits Plan Dataform

The Benefits Plan dataform has been updated to include a master Plan Design fieldset (System Admin > Advanced > Dataform Admin >Benefits Plan form > Action CenterFields).

Within the Plan Design fieldset, there are sub-fieldsets named after the plan type, which is the value entered in the Category field of the Benefits Plan dataform. When you set up a Benefits Plan, upon selecting a Category, the sub-fieldset containing only fields relevant to the selected Category displays in the Plan Design fieldset. For example, if the Category is Vision, the Vision Plan Design sub-fieldset displays under Plan Design.

See Benefits Plan Management.

Added Ability to Clone Offered Benefit Plans

You can now clone Offered Benefit Plans (OBPs) from a parent company’s Benefits Batch record to a child Benefits Batch in a related workspace. This can save you time when you have related companies using the same Offered Benefit Plans.

 

Note: 

  • The parent company is identified using the Parent Company field value specified on the Client Master record of the child workspace.

  • ClientSpace determines which child workspace Benefits Batch to copy into when you click the Clone Parent OBPs link. The workspace where you clicked the link is where the Benefits batch will be copied.

    There must be a Parent Company Benefits Batch record with an Effective Date that matches the Effective Date of a Benefits Batch in the child workspace for cloning to be successful.

No configuration is required for the Clone Parent OBPs link. The link is pre-configured for you as a Benefits Batch dataform Custom Link (System Admin > Advanced > Custom Links).

 

See Cloning Offered Benefit Plans.

Added Benefits Batch Search Dashboard

A new Benefits Batch Search dashboard has been added. The new dashboard can be added to user profiles to display by default on the Modules bar. Locate the new dashboard in the Modules List by clicking <username> > Modules and selecting Benefits Batch.

Features and functionality follow the same standards as other Search Dashboards in the ClientSpace system. This includes the ability to save searches, conduct a Quick Search, Wildcard (%) Search , or More (i.e., Advanced Filters) search, and sort columns.

Some highlights specific to the Benefits Batch Search Dashboard include:

  • The Wildcard (%) Search is a Contains search on the Client Name (i.e., Organization Name).

  • The Quick Search is an Equals search on the Client Number. You must type the exact Client Number to return a result.

  • The grid contains a Plan Types column so that you can view all Plan Types associated with a Benefits Batch as a convenient, comma-separated list as shown in the example below:

Corrected Channel Trigger Issue on Complex Workflows

Previously, when a complex, multi-level workflow channel was triggered from a dataform created by another workflow channel, the Channel Trigger conditions did not work properly in some instances as the Trigger Form conditions were not being evaluated properly. Now, workflow channels triggered from a dataform created by another workflow are properly evaluating the Trigger Form conditions.
