For more information about calculating working hours, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.

	(
SELECT ObjectKeyItem FROM QERPickedItem 
WHERE UID_QERPickCategory = '$UID_QERPickCategory$'
	) as X 
WHERE X.ObjectKeyItem = Person.XObjectKey) 

Example of attesting user accounts using a sample of employees:

EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM 
	(
SELECT UID_Person FROM Person WHERE EXISTS 
		(
SELECT 1 FROM 
			(
SELECT ObjectKeyItem FROM QERPickedItem 
WHERE UID_QERPickCategory = '$UID_QERPickCategory$'
			) as X 
WHERE X.ObjectKeyItem = Person.XObjectKey
	) ) as X 
WHERE X.UID_Person = UNSAccount.UID_Person)

To show the condition for existing attestation policies, run the Show condition task.
