How to get OTL Alternate Name From (Timekeeper or Employee) Preference

Question

Hi there
In the current implementation our OTL functional consultant setup Alternate Name Definition:-
FOR EMPLOYEE Preference as follows:-
Definition Name = XX Employee DEF
Alternate Name
Leave Without Pay
Values (DFF)
Payroll Element (ATTRIBUTE1) “LEAVE NO PAY”
Expenditure Type (ATTRIBUTE2) “Absence No Pay”
System Type (ATTRIBUTE3) “SYTEM”
ID (ATTRIBUTE4) “Employee”)
Definition Name = XX TIME KEEPER DEF
FOR TIME KEEPER Preference as follows:-
Leave Without Pay
Values (DFF)
Payroll Element (ATTRIBUTE1) “LEAVE NO PAY”
Expenditure Type (ATTRIBUTE2) “Absence No Pay”
System Type (ATTRIBUTE3) “SYTEM”
ID (ATTRIBUTE4) “Timekeeper”)
So If employee Go Enter Leave himself he get XX Employee DEF “ALTERNATE NAME”
AND IF Time Keeper go Enter Record for employee, he use Time Keeper “XX TIME KEEPER DEF” Setup
My Question is how I can build a query to get the Alternate Name for that selected Leave. I am able to get the element easily, I use to do it when there is one to one relationship between ELEMENT & ALTERNATE NAME.

Answer 1

Your question is not clear. Why do you want to get the alternate name?
You can always get that from the employee OTL preference setup and yes, based on whether you check the employee or the TK , it will be different.
