Substitutes for Workflows

[Mark Pyc]

Hi Christiana,
 
Peter is right but it just has a slight description change in 4.6C. In the
workflow view of the inbox the fourth icon from the right is what you want.
The icon is a yellow cell in a table grid, the quick info is "Select
Layout". The button has a drop down list on the right hand side which offers
options for Selecting, Changing, Saving and Managing the layout of your
inbox columns.
 
Have fun!
Mark

Hi Peter,
 
thanks for the quick reply.
 
I reckon the way to set this up in 4.6c is different from 4.6b; I can't see
this menu button "Choose display variant"! I'm looking at all the buttons
but I don't see anything related to variants...
 
Thanks again anyway!
 
Cristiana

Hello Cristiana,
 
Before your e-mail, I didn't actually know you could do this but I had a
look because it looked like a good feature.
 
In transaction SBWP (I'm on release 46B) simply select the workflow inbox
and then click on the "Choose display variant" menu button.  If you click
on
the right-most side of this button a menu drops down.  On this menu, click
on "Change Display Variant".  A dialog will be presented from where you can
choose the "Substitute for:" field.
 
If you have authority, you can save this variant as a system variant (clear
the User-specific flag).  Additionally, from the Manage Variants option you
can set the 'Initial variant' flag so that it will come up by default.
 
I hope this helps.

Hello all,
 
how can I configure the Inbox so the user can see the column 'Substitution
for' ?
 
in the SAP help that talks about Substitutes for Workflows it says:
 
"...Substitution always involves two users:
- one user specifies a substitute: User B
- the other user (the substitute) 'adopts' the substitution: User A
 
...bla bla bla
 
... 'A' can continue working as usual. They see a Business Workplace to
which 'B's work items are added dynamically. 'A' can recognize these work
items by the fact that 'B's name is in the column Substitution for, as long
as this column is included in the current configuration.'
 
I'm not sure where to go in the system to configure it so the column
'Substitution for' shows up.
 
I'm running version 4.6c. If you have any other comments/lessons learned on
Substitutions, please let me know!!
 
Thanks and regards
