Chapter 8. Namespace

Table of Contents

Document Layout

Administration > Configuration > Namespace

The Namespace document allows you to add new or maintain existing namespace codes. Namespace codes are used to identify various pieces of functionality and generally correspond to large functional areas. The namespaces in an applications base data normally take the form of a Kuali application followed by one of that application's modules. For example the KFS Purchasing /Accounts Payable module would be associated with the namespace KFS-PURAP.

This document can only be initiated by members of the KR-SYS Technical Administrator role or a suitable application role and does not route for approval.

Chapter 9. Parameter

Table of Contents

Document Layout

Administration > Configuration > Parameter

The Parameter document is used to define parameters and business rules in Rice and Rice Applications. A specific value of a parameter can vary based on what the parameter is used to define. Some parameters create business rules. These rules create restrictions and enforce valid values and combinations on various document types or batch processes. Other parameters simply define institution-specific values not defined elsewhere in Rice and Rice Applications. The value may, for example, be text that Rice and Rice Applications are to display in a given location or it may be a simple yes or no value to turn an option on or off.

Only members of the KR-SYS Technical Administrator or suitable application roles can create or edit Parameter documents.

The Parameter document does not route for approval.

Document Layout

Figure 9.1. Parameter document

Application IDRequired. Enter the application namespace to identify the application to which this parameter applies. Note that the same parameter can have different values for different applications.
Parameter NameRequired. Enter the name of the parameter being defined.
Parameter ValueRequired. Enter the value for the parameter. The nature of a given parameter determines what form the parameter value should take. In some cases it is text for a user to view or it could be a value such as an account number or an object code. In cases where multiple values are allowed they should be separated by a semi-colon. Consult with technical resources if you are unsure what format a specific parameter value should take.
Parameter DescriptionRequired. Describe the purpose and usage of the parameter. The description is used for a documentation purpose.
Parameter Type Code

Required. Select the parameter type code from the Parameter Type list or search for it from the lookup.

Default types include:

System Configuration: Used to establish institution values not specific to validation.

Document Validation: Used to establish business rules for documents.

Parameter Constraint CodeRequired. Select Allowed if the parameter is to allow the defined parameter value within an application. Select Denied if the parameter is to deny the defined parameter value within the application. Consult with technical resources if you are unsure of the appropriate constraint code for a given parameter.


Chapter 10. Component

Table of Contents

Document Layout

Administration > Configuration > Component

The Component document defines valid components that can be associated with a parameter. Components indicate a general or specific piece of functionality to which a parameter applies. Some Components are generic (batch, lookup, all) while others are very specific and refer to particular documents or even specific tabs or fields on documents.

Only members of the KR-SYS Technical Administrator or an equivalent application role can create or edit Component documents.

Table of Contents

Document Layout

Administration > Configuration > Parameter Type

The parameter type broadly defines what a parameter is used for. In an application's base data there may be only two parameter types: parameters used for document validation  (such as business rules) and parameters used for System Configuration (customizing applications for your institution).

The Parameter Type document allows you to create new or edit existing parameter types. Code must be developed to support any additional types or changes to existing types.

Only members of the KR-SYS Technical Administrator or suitable application role can create or edit Parameter Type documents and they do not route for approval.

Active IndicatorRequired. Check the box to make this parameter type active and available for selection when creating parameters. Uncheck the box if you wish to inactivate this type of parameter and prevent its selection when creating new parameters.


Chapter 12. Permission

Administration > Identity > Identity > Permission

The Permission document allows you to create new permissions or edit existing ones. The Permission Lookup allows you to search for and view existing permissions. You can view summarized information about the permission detail values as well as the roles that are currently associated with this permission.

Only members of an applicable application specific role can create or modify Permission documents. These documents do not route for approval.

Caution

Extreme caution should be exercised when modifying existing permissions or adding new ones. Even small changes can have application-wide consequences. Changes should be made only after sufficient testing with your local configuration.

The Permission results display contains the fields described in the table below.

Table 12.2. Permission Lookup results fields

TitleDescription
ActionsActions allow selection of edit or copy for each permission displayed.
Template NamespaceThe code identifying the application and module the template pertains to. Because templates tend to be general categories, they are often associated with system-level namespaces.
Template NameThe template the permission is based on. A template usually defines, in a broad sense, what the permission controls. Similar types of permissions share the same template.
Permission NamespaceThe code designating the application and module this permission is associated with.
Permission NameThe descriptive name for this permission. In most cases this will match the Template Name.
Permission Detail Values

Display-only. Detailed information that, in combination with the permission name, defines the permission's function.

For example, if the permission name is 'Initiate Document,' the Permission Detail Values field indicates the specific type of document the initiate permission pertains to.

Permission detail values can include many different types of data. Some common types are defined below.

documentTypeName: The name of the document type associated with this permission.

routeNodeName: The point in a document's workflow routing at which this permission becomes relevant.

routeStatusCode: The routing status that a document must be in for this permission to apply.

propertyName: Often, a field or document element that the permission pertains to.

Granted to RolesLists the namespace and name of roles that have this permission. Click on the linked name to view the Role inquiry.


To view an Inquiry screen for a permission, select the Permission Name of the appropriate row in the search results. The Inquiry screen contains the same information as the Search Results in a slightly different format.

Chapter 13. Person

Overview

Administration > Identity > Identity > Person

The Person document allows you to identify each user to KIM (and, by extension, to Rice applications). Each Person document includes data about a user's relationship with your institution as well as the roles and groups to which this person belongs.

In KIM a person is a unique combination of an 'entity ID' and a 'principal ID.' The entity ID represents a person with a unique number, and the document associates the entity ID with the user's principal ID number and principal name (often referred to as a user name or user ID). When searching for or working with users in KIM, you usually reference either the principal ID or the principal name. A single entity ID can have multiple principals associated with it

Note that initiation of the Person document is restricted to members of the KR-SYS Technical Administrator or similar application specific role.

Note: Person and HRIS System

Many institutions choose to override parts of the Person document (especially affiliations and contact information) with data from an HR system. Therefore, editing entity data (such as entity ID, principal name, principal ID, and password), contact and affiliation data is not available for any role in the default role configuration. If you wish to allow users to edit this data via the interface you will need to assign the 'Modify Entity' permission to the appropriate role.

Document Layout

The Person document includes Overview, Contact, Privacy Preferences, and Membership tabs.

Figure 16.2. Responsibility Lookup results

Responsibility Lookup results


The Responsibility results display contains the fields described in the table below.

Table 16.2. Responsibility Lookup results fields

TitleDescription
ActionsActions allow selection of edit or copy for each responsibility displayed.
Template NamespaceThe code identifying the application and module the template pertains to. Because responsibilities pertain to workflow, most responsibility templates are associated with the KR-WKFLW (Kuali Rice-Workflow) namespace.
Template NameThe template the responsibility is based on. A template usually defines, in a broad sense, what the responsibility is. Since responsibilities normally are normally associated with action requests for user review, most responsibilities have a template name of 'Review.
Responsibility NamespaceThe code designating the application and module this responsibility is associated with. This code usually corresponds to the namespace of the document type for which the responsibility generates action requests.
Responsibility Name

The name of this responsibility. In most cases the responsibility name will be the same as the associated template name ('Review').

Like permission names, responsibility names are not unique.

Responsibility Detail Values

Display-only. Detailed information that defines what document this responsibility generates action requests for, when the requests are generated and how they are handled by workflow.

Unlike permissions, which sometimes have different detail values, responsibility detail values generally contain the elements defined below.

routeNodeName: The point in a document's workflow routing at which this responsibility generates requests.

documentTypeName: The name of the document type for which this responsibility generates action requests. This value may also be a parent document type, which indicates that this responsibility applies to all child documents that contain the appropriate route node.

actionDetailsAtRoleMemberLevel: A True or False indicator that defines where the system collects details of this workflow action request. If the value is 'True,' the system collects action details when members are assigned to the role. If the value is 'False,' the system collects action details when this responsibility is assigned to a role.

required: A True or False value that indicates whether the system is required to generate an action request for this document type. If the value is 'True' and the document generates no requests associated with this responsibility, then the document will go into exception status. If the value is 'False' and the responsibility generates no action requests, then the document continues to route as normal.

Granted to RolesLists the namespace and name of roles that have this responsibility. Click on the linked name to view the Role Inquiry.


To view an Inquiry screen for a responsibility, select the Responsibility Name of the appropriate row in the search results. The Inquiry contains the same information displayed in the search results in a slightly different format.

Table 16.3. Permission Info tab definition

TitleDescription
Responsibility IdentifierDisplay-only. The unique, system-assigned ID number that identifies this responsibility.
Responsibility NamespaceRequired. An indicator that associates the responsibility with a particular application and module.
Responsibility NameRequired (defaults to 'Review'). A text name identifying this responsibility. Note that this is the only valid value for this document. You cannot use the Responsibility document to establish or modify Responsibilities with the name 'Resolve Exception' -these require a technical resource to modify.
Responsibility DescriptionOptional. Enter a text description of what this responsibility does.
Active IndicatorRequired (defaults to 'Yes'). Change the default selection if you wish this responsibility to be inactive. Inactive responsibilities will be disregarded by Workflow.


Responsibility Details Tab

This tab identifies the document type and route node associated with this responsibility. It also defines other responsibility information such as whether or not the action details reside at the role member level.

Figure 16.6. Responsibility Details tab

Responsibility Details tab


Table 16.4. Responsibility Details tab definition

TitleDescription
Document Type Name Required. Enter the name of the document type this responsibility is associated with or use the Document Type Lookup to search for and select a value.
Route Node NameRequired. The name of the route node at which this responsibility should be invoked.
Action Details at Role Member LevelRequired (defaults to False). Check this box if you want role members associated with this responsibility to be able to define the type of workflow action they will need to take in order to fulfill the action request it generates.
RequiredRequired (defaults to False). Check this box if you wish documents of this type to go into Exception status if this responsibility does not generate at least one action request.
Qualifier Resolver Provided Identifier

Optional. In most cases this field should be blank. It can be used as an additional identifier KIM will use to choose the correct responsibility information for a given doc type. The document type must pass the provided identifier to KIM.


Chapter 17. Role

Administration > Identity > Identity > Role

The Role document allows you to create a new KIM role and edit an existing role. Each role aggregates a specific set of permissions and responsibilities and allows you to assign members to the role. Rice and Rice Applications contain many existing roles that your institution may want to use as is, but you may also change existing roles and add new ones by using the Role document.

The purpose of each role is defined by its associated permissions and responsibilities. Roles are classified by types that generally indicate the type of permissions and responsibilities with which they can be associated.

Note

The process of creating a new type requires technical assistance. Consequently, KIM does not provide an interface for creating role types.

Document Layout

Creating New Roles

When you click the Create New button, the system displays the KIM Type Lookup. You must search for and select an existing Type in order for the system to generate a new Role document.

Note

Note that while the KIM Type Lookup is used when creating new groups and roles, not all KIM types are valid for both. When using this Lookup, you may receive different results depending on the KIM types that are valid for the entity you are working with.

Table 17.5. Responsibilities tab definition, continued

TitleDescription
Responsibility NamespaceDisplay-only. The Namespace identifies the application and module associated with this responsibility.
Responsibility IdentifierDisplay-only. The unique system-assigned ID number identifying this responsibility
Responsibility NameDisplay-only. The descriptive name of this responsibility. For most Responsibilities the name is 'Review.
Responsibility Detail Values

Display-only. This identifies more specific information about the responsibility. Responsibility Detail Values are formatted in a standard way with the following attributes delimited by commas:

Route Node: The workflow route level at which this responsibility is invoked.

Document Type: The document type for which this responsibility generates workflow requests.

Action Details at Role Member Level:  A True or False indicator that defines where the details of this workflow action request are defined. If the value is 'True' then action details will be collected when Members are assigned to the role. If the value is 'False' then the action details must be collected when this responsibility is assigned to a role (see Assigning Action Detail Values elsewhere in this section.)

Required: Indicates if the routing represented by this responsibility should be required. If this is set to True and the responsibility fails to generate an action request (perhaps because no one is assigned to the associated Role) then the document will go into Exception status. If this routing is optional this value will be False and the document will simply skip this responsibility if no requests are generated.

Active IndicatorDisplay-only. Indicator showing whether this responsibility is active within the system or not.
Actions

Click the Delete button to remove this responsibility from this role.

You can delete a responsibility only if it has not yet been saved to the database (i.e., you have added it to this role but have not yet submitted the document).


Assigning Action Detail Values

When adding a responsibility with an Action Detail Values at Role Member Level value of 'False,' you must complete additional fields in a Responsibility Action sub-section. The system displays this section immediately beneath the responsibility you've just added.

The fields in this sub-section define the type of action requests generated for and the general workflow behavior associated with this responsibility. Entries in these fields cause the system to generate the same type of action requests for all members of this role and handle actions by all members in the same way.

Figure 17.7. Responsibility Action details

Responsibility Action details


Table 17.6. Responsibility Action Subsection definition

TitleDescription
NameDisplay-only. The namespace and name of the responsibility associated with these action details.
Action Type CodeRequired. The type of action request that the system is to generate for this responsibility. Options include Approve, FYI and Acknowledge.
Priority NumberOptional. If multiple requests are generated at the route node specified on this responsibility, this value determines in the order in which the system will generate these requests. The system processes requests with lower priority numbers before processing requests with higher numbers. Requests with no number are treated as a priority of 1.
Action Policy Code

Required. This value determines what happens if multiple members of this role receive the same action request and one of them takes the action. This currently only applies in situations where a single action request is generated to multiple role members (i.e. the action details exist at the role level) or  a role is assigned to another role and these nested role members receive an action request. For example, if a role with a responsibility with action details defined at the role level, has three members assigned, all of these members receive the action request defined here; this code determines what the system does when one of them takes action on the document.

A value of FIRST indicates that the first role member to take action on the document will automatically clear all the requests for this responsibility that may be in other role member's action lists.

A value of ALL indicates that each role member must take individual action to clear his or her requests.

Force ActionCheck the box to indicate that each user must take this action for this request even if the user has already previously taken action on this document. Leaving the box unchecked allows a request to be immediately fulfilled if the role member has previously taken action on this specific document.


Assignees Tab

This tab contains all members who belong to this role. You may also use the tab to add new members and edit the values associated with existing members.

Figure 17.8. Assignees tab

Type CodeRequired. Role members can be principals (as defined on the Person document), groups or other roles. Select the type of member you want to add to this Role.
Member IdentifierRequired. Enter the ID of the member you want to add or use the lookup to search for and select a valid value. The lookup directs you to the Principal, Group or Role lookup based on your Member Type Code selection.
Namespace CdDisplay-only. Identifies the namespace code associated with this role member. Note that only groups and roles will display a namespace code.
NameDisplay-only. Identifies the name of the member being assigned to this role.
Full NameDisplay-only. Identifies the default, full name of the member being assigned to this role.
Active From DateOptional. Allows you to qualify this member's association with this role by date. Entering a from date will define the earliest date on which this member is a valid member of this role.
Active To Date

Optional. Allows you to deactivate a member's association with a role on a specific date. The date you enter defines the date the user is no longer a member of this role.

You cannot delete or inactivate role members. To remove a member from a role, specify an active to date.

ActionsClick the Add button to add this member to the role.


Note

Additional fields may be required, such as Chart Code or Organization Code, depending on the role type selected.

Caution

Note that when assigning roles to other roles (nesting roles), qualifying values are not required. Some roles in applications may contain special logic to derive the required qualifiers from the nested role itself without qualifiers being specified. You may always specify qualifying values for a nested role and should do so unless you know the role being assigned contains logic to derive the qualifiers from the nested role. Roles without the proper qualifiers can cause problems throughout your applications. Please consult with an application technical resource if you are unsure of whether or not to provide qualifying values when assigning a role to another role.

Delegations Tab

This tab identifies identifies delegates associated with the role. Delegates are users that a member of this role has authorized to have the same permissions and take the same actions as the member is authorized to take.

The Assignees Tab dealing with Delegates is slightly different as detailed in the following table. Note that if the members of a role require qualifying values, the delegation requires these values as well. In most cases, delegates must have the same qualifiers as the role member they are associated with.
