Q : Whats the difference between the Watchlist and the Worklist?
Watchlist feature provides a set of shortcuts to items that you want to track or that
require your attention. Watchlist is used to see a count for each item and to navigate to
the relevant work area where you can view or perform tasks on the item. For example, a
Watchlist item is for expense reports awaiting submission. You can see how many
expense reports you have created but not yet submitted, and click the Watchlist item
link to navigate to the work area where these reports appear.

Whereas Worklist feature presents workflow tasks that require your approval or other
action, as well as notifications for you to view. Worklist is used to manage tasks, access
their details, or take appropriate action. For example, some managers might see
approval tasks for invoices, and select a particular task to approve, reject, or otherwise
act on the corresponding invoice.

Q : What are the different plan types available in Fusion Absence
Management?
There are three different plan types available in Fusion Absence Management, which
are given below:

Accrual

Use this type to create absence plans that enable workers to accrue time for the
purpose of taking paid leave, for example, a vacation plan. Our requirement qualifies for
this plan type.

Qualification

Use this type to create an absence plan where workers qualify for the plan as a result of
events, such as long term illness or maternity, and receive payments during the
absence period.

No Entitlement

Create absence plans of this type to track paid or unpaid absences without maintaining
an accrual balance or providing leave entitlements, such as periodic accruals. You can
also use plans of this type in combination with a qualification plan. For example, use a
no-entitlement plan to pay workers if they are not eligible for a standard maternity
absence qualification plan.
