In this lesson you change the processor assignment for the individual workflow steps. You determine that certain steps are run by the thematically responsible processor (such as superior, HR Administrator). In the previous lessons the workflow initiator was assigned as the responsible processor for all of the workflow steps.
Using certain rules, the system can automatically determine the responsible processor. In agent determination for the individual workflow steps you must replace the workflow initiator
&_WF_INITIATOR&
with the appropriate rule that is used to determine the responsible processor.
In the standard system, we provide various rules. For general information about the rules, see the
HR Administrative Services
documentation under
Agent Determination Rules
. For documentation on the individual rules, also see the system in rule processing, on the
Description
tab page.
Proceed as follows to replace the workflow initiator with the rule valid for the step:
Start the
Workflow Builder
(transaction SWDD).
Specify the workflow using the workflow number or your workflow template ZTWS.
Edit the individual workflow steps.
Perform the following activities for each individual workflow step in the specified sequence:
Double-click the required step.
Choose the
Control
tab page.
In the
Processor
group box, choose
Rule
as the processor type.
Assign the required agent determination rule to the individual steps. In the
Responsible Agent
field, specify the rules that are listed in the table below. You do not need to specify such an agent determination rule for all steps in sample workflow ZTWS.
