Hi all, I have a requirement where the approval workflow (manager level) should be conditional.
When a user submits a request, the work flow should check if the manager is NOT a Senior Vice President or or Vice President and only then it should send the approval request to the manager. If it finds the manager is a VP or SVP then it should forward the request to a predefined approver.
Any how to help on this will be a big help for me.
Yes, the inputs are really helpful. Thanks to Matt, C Kumar and Tero.
But , the implementation was done using RDS for 7.2, and now this is an enhancement requirement.
So probably, I will have to have a field to store the title of the approver and need a script to check if the title is VP or AVP or SVP etc.
But how can I get this incorporated. No idea !!

Check the basic tutorial of approval workflow, that should give hints how to accomplish this.
Might be easier to write the script that checks whether the manager in question is VP or SVP and if so, then assigns the predefined value.

Hello Ani,
As already shared by Matt, it can be done in numerous way. You can use a Switch task or Conditional task for this.
In conditional task you have to put a SQL query like it will give result True/Flase based on comparison of user's manager mskeyvalue with Senior Vice President or or Vice President mskeyvalue.

Hi Ani,
Please take a look at the conditional task concept in IDM. Basically, you'll need to have an attribute that defines a user as a manager. After that you can branch as needed.
If you need to evaluate a number of scenarios, you can use the Switch task, which works like a CASE statement.

Matt
