The booking and correction client enables
In the booking client, the option was implemented to define the absence reasons that may be entered via the client. The configuration is analogous to the booking screen or time correction configuration (action "ta_correctionClient").
The poPersonConnectors are now configurable and, among other things, offer the option to also adopt the role settings:
In the travel type, you can now also specify the absence reasons that should be available for selection in the time corrections:
It is now possible to assign an open request directly from the process details to a new processor: "Reassign all open activities".
When Exchange2010 is used, there is a separate implementation of the GW module. The new implementation Spring bean is called 'GwCalendarServiceExchangeWSImpl'
Columns were enriched with type definitions (e.g. with datatype = string|date|datetime|time|number|boolean).
Additional validation options were built into account correction and transfer booking :
Groups can now also be added as favorites; the query is made for persons AND/OR groups
A parameter was added to the process that enables the configuration of an email notification for requests in draft status. The email notification for account correction requests was made configurable in the job "createRebookings".
After deleting a rescheduling of daily programs in Webdesk, the rescheduling record in IF6020 is reset to the previous values.
New configuration option > The prefilling of the date can be controlled (prefill date with yesterday's date, prefill date with last month's month-end / prefill date with last quarter's quarter-end). An additional parameter for "Date value editable" was also added. If this is checked, the user can correct the date manually.
The connector framework was extended with additional fields.
Extension of account correction for multi-time application was implemented. The account correction specifies whether a zero value is allowed. Via the process definition (process specified in the transfer booking configuration), the system queries whether zero values are allowed.
Automatic adjustment of the to-date when the from-date was changed: to_date based on from_date, if to_date>from_date; was added to the following forms: - Absence form, - Permission form (if a period is selected).
In the system parameters for the GW settings, the user / password must not be visible (analogous to password entry).
An option was implemented to "mark" certain process definitions so that they are *NOT* taken into account when searching for open requests for a particular employee. The background is that processing requests in draft - in particular the account correction, which is used for the transfer booking - is not useful.
With the negative permission, certain persons or groups can be excluded from a general permission. For negative permissions, entering the view permission is no longer possible.
Passwords can be deleted by the administrator in the person master record
or reset to the system default as before.
The default password is set in the system parameters and can be either
the username or any password.
Password assignment for users who are not in Active Directory > All passwords are reset to the configured PasswordResetPolicy: either the user (username) or "webdesk" is set as the password.
RsPlanningConnector > A configurable (read-only) connector was implemented that returns scheduling information from the RS service.
The Ta connector was revised (broker part).
In the workflow lists > filter, it is now possible to have
the process label displayed instead of the name.
The actual process DefID (including PckId if
different from the ProcDefId) is always displayed in parentheses.
Possible entry of an initial value for receipt type > Initial value can be
entered and edited. Furthermore, it can be set that - this receipt type may only be used once per trip and - is not editable.
If a value is entered here, it is used as the default value for every
newly added receipt of this receipt type in a travel expense report!
On the tab In the area of responsibility of these role holders: search by role / role holder > person or group / valid from
A separate action with license information was implemented under the menu item System > Current license, which compares the absolute licenses with the consumed ones and thus calculates the free licenses.
Help text and email text multilingual (WF refactoring)
Time corrections into the future are now possible. The actual booking takes
precedence over the planned booking. Currently only the first entry of the
time correction is displayed in the calendar.
IMPORTANT: the job "
WfFinishManualEndSystemActivities" must be configured and actively
running > it is responsible for completing the "waiting activity".
The option to edit special view permissions was implemented: individual competence targets (groups, persons) can be added or removed as desired.
New configuration parameter "Prevent execution for switched users".
The action is seen in the menu by the switched user, but cannot be executed in the switched
state (even if the user in the non-switched state
would actually have access to the action).
The parameter can be set for each action on the Settings tab
.
OrgActionHandler - Adopt request parameters (URL parameters) into form.
The job "Execute and Send Reports" was implemented for automatic execution of Webdesk standard reports and sending them to defined role holders.
In the booking configuration, a selectable journal configuration was implemented that can be called by the user.
Refactoring > additional actions in the Advanced Functions: "Start reporting engine" and "Delete reporting engine working directories"
Performance optimization of HQL queries in AdminActionHandler > PoRole / role holder accelerated by reading from the DB only when needed, i.e. only one page is read at a time. EXCEPTION: for search and sorting, all data is required!
Handling of processing workflow tasks that have already been completed (Current activity state is closed.completed). An error message was implemented: "Task has already been processed and completed by another person."
The TaAbsenceEntry connector enables the periodic export of absences (past/future, approved/unapproved); this provides information on whether an employee has booked on a day. Via the configuration, various absence reasons can be defined for specific persons, groups or clients. Additional information can also be defined (user ID, etc.).
A union connector is a source connector that outputs the output of multiple
connector links, one link after the other.
The union connector can, for example, link data between IF6020, Webdesk and csv
files using defined connector links.
Registration via a seminar catalog can be made either directly from the list of courses (course catalog) or in the course details. The registration button is only visible when registration is possible, i.e. the course allows registration and the request set in the system parameters exists.
Implementation of a new configurable action "wf_getCalendarProcessInstances" in project "webdesk-wf-webclient", which allows the following configuration:
When a number in the calendar is clicked, another action is called via URL parameter in a new window; this action is maintainable via the configuration of "wf_getCalendarProcessInstances".
In the monthly approval configuration, it is now possible to specify that the deputy settings are taken into account. This can be achieved by activating the parameter "Show only directly subordinate employees" and filling in "Role for competence search of subordinate employees" with the corresponding role (usually the Supervisor role).
If these parameters are used, employees declared as deputies only see the weekly approvals once the supervisor has activated the deputy under Options\Settings -> "My deputy may approve on my behalf".
IE 8 has a zoom function. A configuration option was implemented that allows the notice that appears when the browser is set to a zoom above 100% to be disabled.
If the system parameter is set to true (default=true), the
message is displayed (IE only) on first entry and when zoom is active. The
message then no longer appears for the validity of a cookie (1 day).
In general, this can be turned off with value=false (no notice anymore!)
New system parameter:
GlobalUserLayoutOptions ->
showZoomNotificationInIE
TaPersonDAO.taIdOfTemplatePerson=1 In the Tacon properties, a
"base master record" is used. This should be set up exclusively for that purpose
and configured with sensible data.
