This Employee Self-Service lets employees display the current business event offering. With the required authorization, employees can book attendance for events in this service or, alternatively, submit attendance requests for a supervisor’s approval. An integrated approval workflow enables a supervisor to convert an attendance request into an actual event booking.
This service should be integrated with the service My Bookings that lets employees display their current bookings, make rebookings, and cancel bookings. These functions can also be integrated with an approval workflow where required.
If you use the SAP Appointment Calendar integrated with Training and Event Management, employees can view their own appointment calendars directly from the list of events. This function requires no additional modifications. You also have the option of integrating an external calendar.
· If you want to connect an external search engine to facilitate the search for events, you must configure the relevant settings in Customizing for Training and Event Management under Basic Settings ® Dialog Control ® Technical Settings ® Set Up External Search Engine.
· Extensive options are available for searching in texts for business events. You can perform a fulltext search for business events in the event titles (short texts), or in the business event descriptive text (stored in the Description infotype and its subtypes).
· The Extended Search option lets you search for business events on the following objects:
¡ Prerequisite/imparted qualifications
¡ Roles (listed under Target group)

¡ Development plan (listed under Aspired qualification)
· Considerably enhanced and accelerated searches (fuzzy search options for example) through the possibility to integrate an external search engine.
· Automatic triggering of workflow Approve Employee’s Attendance Booking when an attendance request is submitted. Automatic booking and notification of the employee on supervisor’s approval of the attendance request. Use of user-defined workflow templates.
