Hi
We are building a
workflow which requires 3 or more levels of approval. It start from the
employee, passes through his direct manager, then the department
manager, and last the General manager, we need to know how to implement
the workflow in a way that is the department manager submits the
request then it automatically go to the GM without passing by all the
previous steps.
Normally we are using Roles to define the managers. So how can we manage this issue.
In your start form, are you able to determine if the connected user is a "manager":
if yes, then you just have to set a (boolean) datafield to something (true for example). Then in your design you use this datafield in the line rule going to tha manager validation step and you create a line to avoid this step using the revers rule.
if no, after the start form submission, you can create a server event or a smartobject event to determine if the originator is part of one of your Manager roles and you can store teh result in the same datafield than bellow.
