Workflow Template AF_process (Process Notification of Absence)

Definition

Workflow template used to process a notification of absence once it has been created.

Note that the notification of absence is not created in the workflow, but is "application functionality". A triggering event makes the link to the workflow.

One of the main functions of workflow control is determining the correct agents.

Workflow template: 30000015

Abbreviation: AF_process

Description: Process notification of absence

Structure

Workflow container

The main two items of information that must be available during the workflow are:

The (object) reference to the notification of absence to be processed

The name of the creator of the notification of absence

(required to find the superior in role resolution)

The relevant elements must be available in the workflow container to take this information:

The element _WF_Initiator for the creator is in the workflow container as standard.

The element AbsenceForm for the object reference was created in addition to the standard elements.

Both items of information are initially available as event parameters in the container of the triggering event and must be passed from there "via binding" to the workflow container.

Triggering event of workflow template

The event created for the object type FORMABSENC ( notification of absence) is entered as the triggering event of the workflow template. This "linkage" between the event and the workflow template to be started is deactivated as standard and must first be activated for this workflow template in Customizing if the workflow template is to be started.

Binding from the event parameter container to the workflow container

The following binding is defined between the triggering event (or event container) and the workflow container:

Workflow container		Event container
_WF_Initiator	<-	_Evt_Creator
AbsenceForm	<-	_Evt_Object
