Usage of Data Models ( XML Files ) in SuccessFactors

HI All,

Please find the below article on the Data Models ( XML- Files ).Data models are used to set up as per the company's requirements. We can define how a company's organizational structure is reflected in the system and what entries a user can make to set up company, person, and employment data. We can add customer-specific fields and rename fields with the customer specific Labels.

Usage of Data Models ( XML Files ) in SuccessFactors
S.No	Data Model (XML)	Importance / Usage
1	Corporate Data Model	The Corporate Data Model(XML File) is the first data model to be configured for Employee Central.This Data Model (XML ) helps to set up the Company's structure This helps to define some foundation Objects like 1 Organization - Location Group - Geozone - Location - corporate address (corporateAddress) 2 Pay related Objects - Pay Range - Pay Grade - Pay Component - Pay Component Group - Frequency 3 Workflow - Workflow (wfConfig) - wfConfigStep - wfStepApprover - Contributor Type (wfConfigContributor) - CC Role Type (wfConfigCC) 4 Dynamic Role Assignment - Dynamic Role (dynamicRole) - Dynamic Role Assignment (dynamicRoleAssignment) 5 Event Reason
2	Country Specific Corporate Data Model	This Data Model ( XML ) File helps to set up the foundation Object fields for a Specific country Example : Corporate Office Address format for USA country
3	Succession Data Model	This Data Model(XML File) helps to configure the fields that appear on the Employee's Personal and Employment information
4	Country Specific Succession Data Model	This Data Model(XML File) helps to keep the international standards -Address format -National ID Through this Data model we can configure country specific fields that appear on the Employees' Personal and Employment information
5	HRIS Propagation	This Data Model (XML File) helps to auto populate the data from Foundation Tables into the Employee's Record. Example : If a user selects a Location in the Job Information and the Default Time Zone will be populated which is linked to the Location Object This Data Models Helps to reduce the amount of data the user has to enter manually, and it improves the consistency of data.
