Escalation & sending external Mail (outlook)

[Zavier, Johnson]

If you want to calculate say '3' working days after work item creation
date, you may use following functions as below. l_calid is factory
calendar id, l_createdate = workitem creation date. L_days = number of
days(eg 3) and l_result is the working date according to the factory
calendar.

To notify the creator about the approval, you may use 'notification' tab
in the approval task and use expression. However you need to have the
external e-mail address for the initiator populated before this task. I
normally add a e-mail step after the approval and send appropriate text
based on the result of the approval.

Hope it helps.
