Counting Number of Entries in Element Entry Input Value Validation Fast Formula

The document discusses restricting the number of entries allowed for an Individual Compensation Plan (ICP) to 10 per absence period. It provides a sample fast formula for counting the number of element entries and validating it does not exceed the limit. The formula uses DBIs starting with ELEMENT_ENTRY_RGE% to loop through entries and count them, returning the count to validate in an input validation formula.

Hi Folks,

I have a requirement in ICP where we have to restrict the number of entries to 10, whenever
employee/manager is making any new ICP entry.

So need a validation to not allow ICP entry 11th time in given absence period.

Please share if you have solution to handle this in FF?

Thanks,

Hi,

Does ICP mean Individual Compensation Plan?

Check this link, this shows how to count for no of entries ( in context with Absence Management
though)... for ICP too something similar would be there ( check for correct DBIs)

Kind Regards

Hi Ashish,

@AshishHCM
This sample is for Absence entry validation formula while we are looking for counting element
entries in Input validation formula.

Hi Rohit,

If you check the thread carefully it says:

"'i' in index and 'j' is the variable, since all we want to do is validate that an employee should not
take more than 5 days per incident, just make the following update to the formula text and attach it
to the absence type"

Basically this is to ensure that a specific leave type can not be applied more than 5 days within a 7
day period.

Kind Regards

Ashish

Something on the similar lines should work.

Loop through the element entry array and check number of counts

Kind Regards

Hi,

We had the same requirement to limit the ICP request considering the element entry count.You can
use the DBI's starting with ELEMENT_ENTRY_RGE% to loop through the element entries
created.

These DBI's are not available in FF of type "Element Input Validation". So I have created a FF of
type "Compensation Default And Override" to get the element entry count

and called this ff in the validation ff.

Hi Shalini,

I'm working on similar issue,s but unable to get the count from the attached fast formula, is there
any change in your formula at a later stage.

We are saving employee contact dependent id  in element input value,  we are trying to get the
count  of UNIQUE  of contact person id in element input it is giving wrong value.
