Notifications in the request process

In a request process, various email notifications can be sent to requesters and approvers. The notification procedure uses mail templates to create notifications. The mail text in a mail template is defined in several languages. This ensures that the language of the recipient is taken into account when the email is generated. Mail templates are supplied in the default installation with which you can configure the notification procedure.

Messages are not sent to the chief approval team by default. Fallback approvers are only notified if not enough approvers could be found for an approval step.

To use notification in the request process

Ensure that the email notification system is configured in One Identity Manager. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Installation Guide.
In the Designer, set the QER | ITShop | DefaultSenderAddress configuration parameter and enter the sender address used to send the email notifications.
Ensure that all employees have a default email address. Notifications are sent to this address. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
Ensure that a language can be determined for all employees. Only then can they receive email notifications in their own language. For more information, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
Configure the notification procedure.

Requesting approval

When a customer requests a product, the approver is notified that new approvals are pending.

Prerequisite

The QER | ITShop | MailTemplateIdents | RequestApproverByCollection configuration parameter is not set.

To set up the notification procedure

On the Mail templates tab of the approval step, enter the following data:

Mail template request: IT Shop Request - approval required

TIP: To allow approval by email, select the IT Shop Request - approval required (by email) mail template.

NOTE: You can schedule requests for approval to send a general notification if there are requests pending. This replaces single requests for approval at each approval step.

Reminding approvers

If an approver has not made a decision by the time the reminder timeout expires, notification can be sent by email as a reminder. The approvers working hours are taken into account when the time is calculated.

Prerequisite

The QER | ITShop | MailTemplateIdents | RequestApproverByCollection configuration parameter is not set.

To set up the notification procedure

Enter the following data for the approval step.
- Reminder after (minutes):
  
  Number of minutes to elapse after which the approver is notified by mail that there are still pending requests for approval. The input is converted into working hours and displayed additionally.
  
  NOTE: Ensure that a state, county, or both is entered into the employee's main data of determining the correct working hours. If this information is missing, a fallback is used to calculate the working hours. For more information about calculating employees' working hours, see the One Identity Manager Identity Management Base Module Administration Guide.
  
  TIP: Weekends and public holidays are taken into account when working hours are calculated. If you want weekends and public holidays to be dealt with in the same way as working days, set the QBM | WorkingHours | IgnoreHoliday or QBM | WorkingHours | IgnoreWeekend configuration parameter. For more information about this, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide.
  
  If more than one approver was found, each approver will be notified. The same applies if an additional approver has been assigned.
  
  If an approver delegated the approval, the time point for reminding the delegation recipient is recalculated. The delegation recipient and all the other approvers are notified. The original approver is not notified.
  
  If an approver has made an inquiry, the time point for reminding the queried employee is recalculated. As long as the inquiry has not been answered, only this employee is notified.
- Mail template reminder: Select the IT Shop request - remind approver mail template.
  
  TIP: To allow approval by email, select the IT Shop Request - remind approver (by email) mail template.

NOTE: You can schedule requests for approval to send a general notification if there are requests pending. This replaces single requests for approval at each approval step.

Scheduled request for approval

Approvers can be regularly notified of requests that are pending. These regular notifications replace the individual prompts and approval reminders that are configured in the approval step.

To send regular notifications about pending requests

Enable the QER | ITShop | MailTemplateIdents | RequestApproverByCollection configuration parameter in the Designer.

By default, a notification is sent with the IT Shop request - pending requests for approver mail template.

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

For more information about this, see the One Identity Manager Operational Guide.
