SWI6 related

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Sue/Askhay/Brenda,

I often give SWI14 to our expert  users - and yes they need to be given the object type codes to use for their area.

The logs can be made much more digestible if you insist on workflow developers marking purely technical steps (i.e. not relevant to users) as "Only in technical workflow log").  If this is done then expert users seem to cope with it fine.

Not for end users of course - for them we use the UWL View History feature and Tracking tab but this also is much better if the workflow developers set the "Only in technical workflow log" setting for technical steps.

SWI6 is a bit more involved as it requires knowledge of the particular object key which can get tricky.

Rgds,
Jocelyn

Hi Akshay, Brenda,
I've never delivered this transaction to our users - instead they have a custom transaction which shows them the progress of an object through workflow.  I'm not saying this is the approach I would *recommend* but it seems that the workflow logs don't really show them what they need to know in a digestible format.  However, as Brenda points out, if your users are fluent, then by all means, avoid the custom transaction approach and let them use it.  That is, after ensuring they do not have 'Edit' capabilities.

Cheers,
Sue

Hi, Akshay.

In my opinion it will depend on the level of literacy of your general users.  My experience has been that some users are able to navigate successfully through the report and find it useful, while others don't even know where to start!  I've always made sure the "superusers" at any of my clients have access to this transaction.  However, most business transactions have access to the workflows linked to the specific object open in that transaction, so you may not necessarily need to give SWI6 to them if you can teach them how to use that function.

Regards,
Brenda.

Hi friends,

Needed your input on following point:

Standard report SWI6 ( i.e.- workflows for Object  ) is intended for general end users or for administrators user?
Or in other words, should authorization of this report can be given to normal end users to check which workflows are open for specific object?

Regards,

Akshay Bhagwat
