Only active assignments/moves (ASSIGNMENT!INACTIVE = FALSE) are displayed in the Mobile Employee Experience and these appear under the heading of MY ASSIGNMENTS or MY MOVES in the navigation bar.

An example with 3 active assignments:

When there are multiple records these are sorted and displayed as follows:

  1. End Date (ascending)

  2. Start Date (ascending)

  3. Most active assignment logic

Start Date and End Date

These refer to certain date fields in the system:

  • Start Date: for Permanent Transfers and International Assignments only

    • ASSIGNMENT!START_DATE

    • ASSIGNMENT!EFFECTIVE_DATE

  • End Date for International Assignments only

    • ASSIGNMENT!ACTUAL_END_DATE

    • ASSIGNMENT!SCHEDULED_END_DATE

    • ASSIGNMENT!CURRENT_EXTENSION_END_DATE

Most active assignment logic

When there are multiple active assignments, the following logic applies to determine the most active assignment.

International Assignments

  • If only one assignment has started (i.e. today's date is after the Start Date) but has not ended (i.e. today's date is before the End Date), this assignment is considered the most active assignment.

  • If more than one assignment has started and End Dates are present for all assignments:

    • The most active one is the one with the closest End Date.

    • If both have the same End Date, the most active one is the one with the closest Start Date to today's date.

    • If both have the same Start Date and End Date, the most active one is the most recently created one.

  • If more than one assignment has started and End Dates are not present, the most active assignment is the one in which the Start Date is closest to today's date.

  • If more than one assignment has not started (i.e. today's date is before the Start Date), the most active one is the one in which the Start Date is closest to today's date.

Permanent Transfers (no End Date)

  • The most active one is the one with the closest Start Date to today’s date.

  • If both have the same Start Date, the most active one is the most recently created one.

Business Travelers (no Start or End Dates)

  • Only considered if Business Travelers are the only assignments, i.e. there are no International Assignments or Permanent Transfers records, and the most active one is the most recently created one.

For cases where there are assignments with the same start and end dates and the assignment types are different, the most active order starts with the type International Assignments then Permanent Transfers followed by Business Travelers. Note that Business Travelers are only considered the most active ones if Business Travelers are the only assignments.
