Steps: Set Up Configurable Workflows
- Enable Hubs in Adaptive Planning. See Enable Adaptive Planning Hubs.
- Security:
- Edit Hubsfor administrators to manage hubs and workflows.
- Manage Workflowsfor administrators to manage hubs and workflows.
- Access Hubsfor administrators and task assignees to access hub pages and assigned tasks.
You can use configurable workflows to orchestrate and execute planning cycles based on your organizational needs, with complete oversight on how the workflows are progressing. You can use workflow tasks to:
- Assign work to users, user groups, or roles (associations in Adaptive Planning) in the order that you want. You can display their work area directly on the task.Example: You can display your expenses dashboard directly on the task, where they can edit the sheet, view reports or charts on that dashboard, and take workflow action.
- Enable planners to submit their work to submitters on higher hierarchy levels, and those higher submitters to accept or send back those submissions.
The workflow moves sequentially, and the next task doesn’t trigger until the previous task completes.
If you have
Manage Workflows
permission, you can monitor the workflows to view task details and progress. When you monitor workflows, you can edit, pause, or resume individual workflows using the Actions menu on the workflows. After each submission up the level hierarchy, we lock that data for those levels and slices of data for all users except for submitters on higher hierarchy levels or users with the
Manage Workflows
permission.- Create a hub, add workflows to the hub, and share the hub with all workflows administrators and participants.
We distribute My Tasks items to the assignees of the first workflow task, and notify them to take action.
Monitor and manage workflows.
