Can we map the Alternate Job Title from UKG into AD?

General

The job title we require to go over to AD is stored in the AlternateJobTitle field in UKG. Is it possible to access/map this field using Connect to AD?

On further investigation, it seems that the Alternate Job Title field is in fact in the UKG API and already available in Connect to AD (it’s just not named Alternate Job Title in the API).

There are 2 potential JobTitle fields you can access when you map your attributes:

  1. The job title from the job record

  2. The job title from the employment record (this is the one that represents the Alternate Job Title that you are seeking to use)

All you would need to do is change your mapping to use Employment.JobTitle instead of Job.Title

Change it from this…

Also, you may want to set up the job title mapping so that it’s conditional or you may get some blank job titles going through to AD because some employees may not have an alternative job title (in that case send through the title from the job record).

I would add that if you want this to reference the long job description instead of the short (abbreviated) job title, then a slight modification is required

This is the most commonly used expression

WHEN
String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Employment.AlternateJobTitle)
THEN
Job.LongDescription

WHEN
Default
THEN
Employment.AlternateJobTitle
