A Linked Queries tab may be added to custom layouts
that allows you to enroll employees into an exposure group automatically
based on the result of a linked query. The query can be related to
exposure levels, results of lab work, wellness indicators, etc. An
exposure group cannot have both a linked job and a linked query.
For Cority-hosted clients, enrollment is automatic based on a business
rule that is run every Saturday: the BR will check the status of the
exposure groups that use linked queries; if an employee was enrolled
in an exposure group based on the result of a linked query but they
no longer appear in the results of the linked query, their enrollment
in that group will be ended. If an employee is added to the results
of a linked query for one or more exposure groups, an enrollment in
each group will be started for the employee.
Employees can also be enrolled based on the result of a linked query
through the Import Utility or the Data Integration Engine.
Please contact your system administrator for further information.
Similarly, use the Linked Tasks and Linked Processes tabs to associate tasks or processes to the SEG.
Use the Employees tab to include or exclude an employee from an SEG or work group:
If Automatically Maintain History of Employee’s Surveillance Membership is selected on the Similar Exposure Group tab, then during the next data feed from your Human Resources system, employees are automatically added to the Employee tab of the appropriate SEG record, based on their GDDLOFB and job position found within the HR feed.
If the employee is no longer part of the exposure group, the End Date of the existing record is updated with the date of the HR import feed minus one day.
If the employee is new to the exposure group, a record is added with the employee's number and the Start Date equal to the date of the HR import feed.
If you want to maintain any employees you manually added to the SEG (e.g. if they may not match linked job criteria), select the Excluded from Auto-Link check box. If not selected, the employee would be removed during the next HR data feed.
Select an existing employee to edit that employee’s membership, or click New. For more information, see Associating an Employee with an SEG.
