In eADM, administrators can manually override individual attributes for a user. This feature is useful for making specific corrections that should not be sourced from the primary data system (HRM).
The user interface clearly indicates which values have been overridden, including when the change was made and by whom. Any override can also be easily undone.
Warning: Use this feature with caution. An override remains active until it is manually removed. While an attribute is overridden, it will not receive automatic updates from the integrated HRM system. This also applies when editing source data for a manual user; the override will persist and take precedence over any edits made to the source data.
How to Override a User Attribute
Follow these steps to apply an override to a user's attribute.
-
Search for and select the user you want to edit.
-
Go to the Source Data tab.
-
Find the attribute you want to change and click the pencil icon in its row to edit the value.
-
Enter the new value and save the change.
How to Identify and Restore an Overridden Attribute
Follow these steps to identify overridden data and restore it to the source system's value.
-
Go to the user's Source Data tab.
-
Identify overridden data by looking for the checkmark icon in the " Overridden Value " column.
-
To revert the change and restore the original value from the HRM system, click the Restore Value icon (which looks like an undo button) in that row.
