If David has Alex's rights (as his manager e.g.) he can approve his approvals

But he is not!

David has just the All Employees role, and he can approve/reject Alex's approvals or other roles too.

Hi Chani,

You need to check the table that stores approval records rights. For example if approval was enabled for invoices the table is callled SysInvoiceVisaRight. The query should be the following:

SELECT * FROM SysInvoiceVisaRight
WHERE RecordId = ''

RecordId is an Id from the InvoiceVisa table (it stores all visas for all invoices in the system). So the query should be:

SELECT * FROM SysInvoiceVisaRight
WHERE RecordId IN (SELECT Id FROM InvoiceVisa
WHERE InvoiceId = '')

InvoiceId can be retrieved directly from the URL bar of the browser when the Invoice is opened.

The user or role is stored in the SysAdminUnitId column of the SysInvoiceVisaRight table. You need to check which users and\or roles are stored in the SysInvoiceVisaRight table analogue for your section. 

Also try checking default record permissions for the approvals object for your section in the "Object permissions" section (in System designer).

Hi Robert, 

We don't have practical examples of such implementation, but you can try to export the process as a file to attachments, that's seems to be the only way to achieve it. Probably it would be not much convenient to use, but there is no such out-of-the box option in the system.

Please share the result if you succeed cause it would be splendid tip for all of us!

Thanks!

Hi Bogdan,

thanks for the answer, but I fear I don't really understand it :)

What process should I export and what is meant by "as a file to attachments"?

Thanks,

Robert

Robert Pordes,

I mean you can upload the usual file/business process file (*.BPMN), where will be the approval process you wanted to set up. 

And user who wants to perform any actions with attachment should open the "Approval file" with some logic you've made. 

This file will also be in attachments.

That's what I mean and hopefully it's more clear now :)

Thanks!

HI Bogdan,

thanks again for the clarification!

However, I simply want to activate the out of the box approval mechanism as it is used in other sections, like the documents.

It looks like this in the section wizard:

I know that Attachments are details, and therefore are not shown in section wizard but detail wizard.

I thought that there is maybe a trick to enable the approval for this detail.

Thanks,

Robert

can try a business rule on the approval object for status = negative , make comments mandatory. not sure if this will work on the prompt!

Hello,

You need to create a replacing view model for PreconfiguredApprovalPage and add a code similar to this one:

attributes:{
				"Comment":{
					"dataValueType": this.Terrasoft.DataValueType.TEXT,
					"isRequired": {"bindTo":"isCommentRequired"}
                }
          },
          methods: {
            isCommentRequired: function(){
				if (this.get("Status").displayValue=="Negative"){
				return true;
                } else {
				return false;
                }
            }
          },

In this case when the reject button is clicked the field should be filled in:

Hi,

I need same functionality in the freedomUI. What changes need to be done?. I tried with the above code mentioned, but it's not working.

Please let me know if there is any way.



Thanks.

HI,

Unfortunately, currently, you cannot do this on a new UI.

Hi Sethu, 

Couple of questions. Do you need all physics related users to approve? Or Any one from that group need to approve? If the answer is Yes to the second question,  you can create a functional role, being assigned with all these users and send the approval for that role. Every one in the role can be notified and will be able to see approval. But any one can approve it. If it's Yes for the first question, I would suggest instead of using the approval element in the process, create an approval for the record for each of the user in the loop. This way an approval will be created for all the users.

Hi Krishna, Thanks for getting back , the approval need to be sent to a particular set of  Users ,all these users are already in a functional role , based on a filter , i have taken out few users , the approval needs to go to each user on the filter and only they should be able to approve it . 

Can you clarify  this point ?  create an approval for the record for each of the user in the loop. This way an approval will be created for all the users. 

Do you mean add record option in the business process ?

Hi sethuraghav,

There is a possibility to specify a user role as an approver in 7.17.0 version. Please see this screenshot of the test approval created in the "Cases" section DCM that sets the "1-st line support" user role as an approver for the record in case the stage is modified to "Waiting for response":

As a result the role was selected as an approver for the test case record:

So please use the same functionality to achieve the result required.

Best regards,

Oscar

sethuraghav,

Yes, I was referring to Add element to create Approval entry.

Thanks Krishna and Oscar

Hello,

You did everything correct, but the trick here is that trace data cannot be received from "Terminate event". Please view trace data of approval element and check parameter values before this element execution and after this element execution so to get needed data.

Best regards,

Oscar

Thanks Oscar.

Actually the process was typically not accurate for the action that I wanted to perform.

Hi!

Have you checked errors in the console? They might store some additional information about this issue. 

Hello,



It seems that "Approver" is not a section, but a field in "employee" object. This fields should contain the Id of contact instead of id of the system administration object. 

In case you use script task and have difficulties with it, you may try to create a business process and use process elements like "read data" or "modify data" to perform some manipulations with data.



Basically, what I recommend to do is to trigger business process from the c# code.

Dear Ganesh,

There is no out of the box functionality for approvals in mobile application in the current release. But you can develop your own approvals logic for mobile application taking the existing one (desktop one) as an example. In order to have approvals in mobile application You need to create a similar detail, develop similar functions and distribute the access rights accordingly. 

There are no example or guidelines created yet, but your one can be the first example published!

With best regards,

Hi Patricia,

You need to run the 'Send for Approval' Action for the selcted Invoice to run the approval procces. After that, system will ask you to enter the User that should approve the Invoice and the Objective of such approval:

That's it, you won't have to make any changes into the process template.
