Activate Deadline Monitoring for Standard Workflow

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I want to Activate Deadline Monitoring for Standard SRM Confirmation Approval Workflow. Is there any way I do this without disturbing the standard workflow? Using Alerts?

Also pls advice if I can activate the deadline monitoring directly in the standard template without having it copied to a Z/Y wf template?

Thank you!

Friends,

I want to set a deadline monitoring for a case when the approver doesnt execute the workitem even after 2days. (so I believe I need to use "Requested Start")?

Further I understand how this is done, my question is can we do change it to the standard template or do I need to copy it and then make the changes.

Also Kindly share some information on using SRM ALERTS for the same functionality to send reminders/alets to approvers on delay of approving task.

Thank you so much.

1. No you have to make use of Latest End Requested start defines you when should be the workitem appear in the agents inbox.

2. It is alwasy a good practice that you take a copy of the standard and then modify it as per your requirements

Hi,

Which deadline handling is required? Latest start, etc...?

Do you need to model the process when deadline is reached? or Do you need just notification email?
