What are the key advantages of the MDF Position Model over the Legacy Position Model?

• Permissions can be applied to the position objects directly - eliminating the need for a “placeholder” user record behind the position record. (Note that therefore, the position must have the attributes and values to support effective permission definitions, such as department, division, etc.);
• MDF positions support up to 200 custom fields of various types (text, date, number, picklist);
• Effective dating (the capture & tracking of past & future changes to position records) will be supported for position records;
• Search by position title on the Succession Org chart;
• Editing position records from the Succession Org chart. Users need appropriate read/write position management RBP permissions;
• Succession planning for target populations based on position attributes with RBP;
• Effective end date attribute for positions exposed in ad hoc reports for precise record retrieval.

What are the pre-requisites to upgrade to the MDF Position Model?

• Version 12 UI framework (Revolution);
• Role-Based Permissions (RBP);
• Generic Objects (will be enabled during implementation).
