Detailed Description

As an administrator, you can now use a number-type custom field to define role levels, ensuring employees receive recommendations for roles at or above their current level. In the Career Development Planning Feature Settings admin tool, you can select a number-type custom field to represent the role level. Roles with a lower value than the employee's current role are regarded as lower-level roles and excluded from recommendations. The feature doesn't require pay grade configuration and supports organizations that use custom fields for role hierarchy.
