Release 15.9 - 9/8/2023

  • Added an optional Request Process Owner field to the Request Information section within a request. HR users with Create/Edit Request permission may select any Human Resources or Onboarding user associated with the request’s Customer as the Request Process Owner. This field may be added, changed, or removed on any request that is not in Complete or Cancelled status. All changes are tracked in History.

See: Create Request Information or Request Information

Request Processing Interconnection

  • USA Staffing will accept the optional Request Process Owner field when submitted via the Request Processing Interconnection.
    • USA Staffing will validate that the submitted value meets the following validation criteria when accepting the transmission:
      • Must be a properly formatted email - e.g. username@agency.gov
      • Be 120 characters or fewer

In addition, for the submitted Request Process Owner to be added to a Request, they must have either Human Resources or Onboarding user type permission to the Requesting Customer assigned to the request. RPI transmissions containing no Request Process Owner value—or those which contain a Request Process Owner without permission to the request—will still be accepted, with no value populated for the Request Process Owner. This value can be updated from the request screens as needed.


Release 15.6 - 6/9/2023

Request Processing Interconnection

  • Added the following validation message when a request sent using the Request Processing Interconnection does not include valid Position Description information:
    • Invalid Position Description Number. Valid characters are: a-z, A- Z, 0-9, forward slash (/), backward slash (\), dash (-), comma (,), space, underscore (_), and period (.)

Release 15.3 - 3/17/2023

  • Added a History entry when the Request Status is updated to Complete, including the user’s name and date/time the request was completed.

Release 15.2 - 2/17/2023

Request Processing Interconnection

  • USA Staffing will accept values for the Position Sensitivity and Risk and Trust Determination Process request fields. These fields will remain optional for request approval and RPI; however, the system will validate values received for these two fields if they are included in an RPI transmission.
    • Position Sensitivity and Risk – The following single numeric values are accepted:
      • 1 = Non-sensitive (NS)/Low Risk
      • 2 = Noncritical-Sensitive (NCS)/Moderate Risk
      • 3 = Critical-Sensitive (CS)/High Risk
      • 4 = Special-Sensitive (SS)/High Risk
      • 5 = Moderate Risk (MR)
      • 6 = High Risk (HR)
      • 7 = NCS/High Risk
    • Trust Determination Process – The following single numeric values are accepted:
      • 1 = Credentialing
      • 2 = Suitability/Fitness
      • 3 = National Security
    • Existing validation rules governing request status for required fields remain in effect, and will now include:
      • The request status will be Submitted if valid values are included for both Position Sensitivity and Risk and Trust Determination Process.
      • The request status will be Incomplete if a valid Position Sensitivity and Risk value is included without a Trust Determination Process value.
      • The RPI transmission will be rejected if invalid values for either Position Sensitivity and Risk or Trust Determination Process are included.
      • The RPI transmission will be rejected if a value is included for Trust Determination Process without a value for Position Sensitivity and Risk'.

Release 14.9 - 11/18/2022

  • Users will be required to select a workflow when approving a request without a default staffing workflow to help them ensure they do not accidently approve a request with the wrong workflow.

See: Staffing Approach

  • Reordered the Workflow drop-down list alphabetically within an Onboard New Hire request.
