Linking Facilities and Departments
In iHRIS Manage, the module ihris-manage-PersonPosition defines the position form which contains the field department and the required field facilty which are both independent lists. In this tutorial, we will discuss how customize iHRIS Manage so that, when editing a position, the departments displayed are dependent on the facility chosen.
This tutorial applies to iHRIS Manage 4.0, although the concepts involved can be applied to iHRIS Qualify as well. Please refer to these articles:
for background information on forms. You can see these changes in the Zanzibar-position module.

Option A
Due to these weaknesses, we will not implement Option A in this tutorial.
Option B
We will implement option B in this tutorial.
