Scheduled Approval Demands

Scheduled Approval Demands

Table 82: Configuration Parameter for Scheduled Notifications
Configuration parameter Meaning
QER\ITShop\MailTemplateIdents\RequestApproverByCollection

This mail template is used for generating an email when there are pending requests for an approver. If this configuration parameter is not set, a "Mail template demand" or "Mail template reminder" for single approval steps can be entered to send an email for each request. If this configuration parameter is set, single mails are not sent.

Approvers can be regularly notified of requests that are pending. Regular notifications replace single demands and approval reminders, configured in the approval step.

To send notifications about pending requests on a regular basis

  1. Set the configuration parameter "QER\ITShop\MailTemplateIdents\RequestApproverByCollection" in the Designer.

    Notification with the mail template "IT Shop request - pending requests for approver" is sent by default.

    TIP: To use something other than the default mail template for these notifications, change the value of the configuration parameter.
  2. Configure and enable the schedule "Inform approver about pending requests" in the Designer.

    For more detailed information, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
