An introductory paragraph is shown followed by several numbered paragraphs that step the employee through the election process. The content of these paragraphs may be tailored and may contain HTML tags. These paragraphs are the Election Intro Text found on the Plan Type in IBPT.
Only plans that are part of the Open Enrollment process will appear.
If elections related to the open enrollment have already been submitted by the employee, only plans that have been re-opened by the Benefit Administrator can be changed.
If there are no open enrollments for an employee, a message will be presented indicating there is no information to display. There is a site preference called SS_EMPTY_FRM_MSG which when set to ‘Y’ will display the message defined in ‘<FORM_NAME>_EMPTY’, where FORM_NAME is the name of the form that has no data to display, i.e.: WEBOEE. These messages can be tailored in IMMS using translations, the message codes are: WEBOEE_Empty.
At any time during the open enrollment process, the employee can print off a summary of the open enrollment elections. The print icon is displayed at the top of the form.

This tab displays all of the benefit election options that are available with this Open Enrollment.Plan details are organized by Plan Type to make it easier for employees to understand their options, however employees make their elections one plan at a time.
The Election Intro Text, if provided in IBPT, will display above the list of plans within the plan type. If a URL was provided in IBPT, it too will also be displayed above the table of available plans.
Each plan must be elected separately.
Plans of the same type that are mutually exclusive may be grouped in a Plan Election Set. Only one coverage option may be elected from a Plan Election Set.
If BC codes were configured in IBPN to allow data to be entered (Enter Election) these will display above the plan details.
The employee makes an election choice by clicking the coverage they want. When one coverage option line is toggled on, all other lines are automatically toggled off.
If the plan participation is optional, an additional “Coverage Declined” line will be shown at the bottom of the list to give the employee the ability to opt out of the plan. On the third tab the employee will be prompted for the reason for the decline for any plans / plan election sets that they have declined here in tab 2.
In all cases where there is a choice, a “Coverage To Be Decided” line will appear at the bottom of the list to give the employee time to think about the coverage they want.
The “Coverage To Be Decided” line will not appear if the plan participation is required and there is only one coverage level to choose from.
