    Has anyone made any customizations to the html code used to generate the Direct Deposit screens in ESS?

    We'd like to customize the html code so that the displayed screen(s) include a disclaimer about making changes to the account(s). We think the changes would be made in either ddmain.htm or directdeposit.htm.

    If anyone has made similar changes, please advise how the changes were made and to which .htm docs. Thank you.

      Two things to check... I am not at work right now so I can't look but you either want to change the XML file if there is a message that displays on the direct deposit page. Many pages in ESS have this type of page message. If not you would prbably need to change the directdeposit.htm page. Ofter you can just type a message within the html that will be displayed but you will need to know where to put it.

        Look at message "DD_223" in ddmsg.xml. You should be able to change that message but make sure you end the message with the same thing that is already in that message so that it will still read appropriately.

        Using this will allow you to use html tags within your xml language file.


        Hope this helps.

          We changed the DD page that shows account info to do the following:
          1. change the number of allowable accounts from 3(?) to 4
          2. remove any add/update capability
          3. replace the delivered Lawson messages with our custom messages. To let the employee add/change accounts, we've inserted our "corporate payroll" website link as part of our custom messages.

          all these changes were done on directdeposit.js.

          we've also made a custom message xml (we didn't want to change any of the delivered Lawson message xmls) and referenced our custom messages from ESS.

          We've also customized the ESS Home Address pages to lock some fields and force data into others.

          hope this helps
