Substitution ?

Tue Sep 17 05:24:45 EDT 2002

If I remember well, "chain" substitution does not work, and this is =
made on
purpose: if A delegates to B, A may not want his workitem to go to C, =
as he
did not decide himself to allow that substitution.

Br,

Patrick

Hi!

I have an additional question relating to substitution. In workflow is =
it
possible to enter user B as a substitute for user A and then enter user =
C as
a substitute to user B and user A's work items are forwarded to user C? =
We
are operating on system 4.5B and would be curious to know if this
functionality is possible and how far does the chain go?

Br, Lauri
