The Workflow Configuration Screen
Workflow Path based on a Security Role
By default, when a workflow path has been based on the Employee Self Service (ESS) security role, the same workflow path will be followed for managers. Workflow paths based on a Manager Self Service (MSS) security role, will be ignored if created.
Should the user have both payroll access and an ESS profile, a workflow path based on the Company Level User Profile’s security role will have to be created.
Multiple Approvers
If more than one approver has been set-up for a workflow step, when the one approver actions the workflow item, it will be removed from the other approver’s Inbox.
Tips
- To be included in a workflow path, the employee needs to be active on the payroll.
- Different workflow paths for different groups of employees may be created per workflow item.
- Once a workflow path for claims has been set-up, when the employee submits a claim, the same path will be followed for all claim components.
- Workflow paths need to be configured for each employee request.
- Workflow paths can be created per leave type or leave scheme.
Enable the below setting when using Workflows for Leave - Activate a company setting to select the directly reports to person from a company within the group on the Position Detail Screen.
- Should you select, for example, Region to base the workflow path on, it is advisable that a workflow path for every Region created on the payroll, to be configured. The same principal applies when basing a workflow path on a Workflow – or Security Role.
