Sequence for limited requests

A recipient keeps a product on the shelf up to a specific point in time when they unsubscribe the products again. Sometimes, however, products are only required for a certain length of time and can be canceled automatically. The recipient is notified by email before the expiry date is reached and has the option to renew the request.

To set up the notification procedure

  1. In the Designer, set the QER | ITShop | ValidityWarning configuration parameter and enter the warning period (in days) for expiring requests.

  2. In the Designer, configure and activate the Reminder for IT Shop requests that expire soon schedule.

  3. Enter the following data for the approval policy:

    • Mail template expired: Select the mail template to be used for the email notification. The default installation provides the IT Shop request - product expires and IT Shop request - expired mail templates.

  4. Save the changes.

Approving or denying request approval

When a request is granted approval or denied, the request recipient is notified by email. Notification may occur after approval or denial of a single approval step or once the entire approval process is complete. Requests can be automatically granted or denied approval once a specified time period has expired. The recipient is notified in the same way in this case.

To set up the notification procedure

  • If notification should be sent immediately after an approval decision is made for a single approval step, enter the following data on the Mail templates tab of the approval step.

    • Mail template approved: IT Shop request - approval granted for approval step

    • Mail template denied: IT Shop request - approval not granted for approval step

  • Enter the following data in the approval policy when notification should immediately follow the approval decision of the entire approval process:

    • Mail template approved: IT Shop request - approval granted

    • Mail template denied: IT Shop request - approval not granted

Notifying delegates

If required, a delegator can receive notifications if the deputy or recipient of the single delegation has made a request in the IT Shop. Notification is sent once an employee has been determined as an approver due to delegation and has made an approval decision for the request.

To send notification when the employee who was delegated an approval approves or denies the request

  • In the Designer, set the QER | ITShop | Delegation | MailTemplateIdents | InformDelegatorAboutDecisionITShop configuration parameter.

    By default, a notification is sent with the Delegation - inform delegator about decided request mail template.

TIP: To use custom mail templates for emails of this type, change the value of the configuration parameter.

Delegations are taken into account in the following default approval procedures.

Example

Jan User3 is responsible for the R1 business role. They delegate their responsibility for the business role to Jo User1. Jo User1 is themselves responsible for R2 business role.

A member of the R1 business role requests a product in the IT Shop. In the approval process, Jan User3 is established as an approver through the OM - Manager of a specific role approval procedure. The request is assigned to Jo User1 for approval through delegation. Jan User3 is notified about the request as soon as Jo User1 has made their approval decision.

A member of the R2 business role requests a product in the IT Shop. In the approval process, Jo User1 is established as the approver through the OM - Manager of a specific role approval procedure. No notification is sent because Jo User1 does not make the approval decision due to delegation.

Bulk delegation

You have the option to delegate all your responsibilities to one person in the Web Portal. If you have a lot of responsibilities, it is possible that not all the delegations are carried out. A delegator can send a notification to themselves if an error occurs.
