You can choose to start a process from the Portal without the need to first select an object or employee.
You can achieve this by using the URL parameter WITHOUT_START_OBJECT
in a copy of a standard FPM application configuration.
This produces the same effect as using the Skip Employee Selection
check box (with regard to Personnel Administration processes) or the Skip Object Selection
check box (for Organizational Management processes).
For more information, see Process Start Without Employee Selection.
In the 4-step roadmap (see Standard FPM Application Configurations in HCM P&F), the first step (selection of the employee or object) is skipped. The 4-step road map is used in the following cases:
Start of an employee process without the selection of PERNR
at the start
The possible roles starting this process are the Manager
and HR Administrator
. The road map is
determined by the application type PA and the URL parameter WITHOUT_START_OBJECT=X
.
Start of an organizational process without the selection of the object at the start
The possible roles starting this process are the Manager
and HR Administrator
. The road map is determined by the
application type PD and the URL parameter WITHOUT_START_OBJECT=X
.
The above cases can be handled by using the FPM standard application configuration ASR_EXECUTE_4_STEP
.
The URL parameter WITHOUT_START_OBJECT
is entered in the Application Parameters
field of the iView for the ASR_EXECUTE_4_STEP
FPM standard application configuration. It is entered as WITHOUT_START_OBJECT=X
