This scenario describes how you can use a business space
to view, edit, and modify timetables that define the available time
for your business application, and how you can set the appropriate
role-based access for the timetables.
This scenario uses widgets that contain content from WebSphere® Process Server.
If WebSphere Process Server
is not installed, Business Space replaces its widgets with an image
and a message.
If a Solution Management space is not available,
see Creating a Solution Management space to
create a space using this template. Some of the steps and information
might not apply to your situation. Adapt the scenario to fit your
needs.
In this scenario, you learn how to use Business Space
to work with timetables for your business solution and role-based
access to those timetables, using the Business Calendar Manager widget
and the Security Manager widget.
You are responsible for updating
the available time for a solution that is integrated with a new business
partner's human resources application. You must account for the
available time for the new business partner by modifying timetables.
Also, you must make sure that the appropriate team members have access
to the timetables and can modify them in the future.
To perform
these tasks, use Business Space with the following widgets: Business
Calendar Manager and Security Manager. Complete the following steps:
- Log onto Business Space and open the Business Calendar
Manager.
- Your business partner has two additional holidays, December
26 and 27, which you must add to the Holiday timetable. Under All
Timetables, double-click the Holiday timetable.
- At the bottom of the Time intervals table, click the Create
Time Interval button to create a time interval for these
two days.
- Type business partner holidays in
the subject, and make sure that the Available time check
box is cleared, because a holiday represents unavailable time. Under When,
select December 26 from the calendar. Under Recurrence,
select Daily, and under Every,
select 2, to designate that the time interval
lasts for two days.
- Click Save to save the new time
interval for the Holiday timetable.
- To give all of the human resources employees the ability
to view this timetable, complete the following steps:
- Open the Security Manager.
- Click the Reader role for the timetable.
- From the Module Chooser list, select the
module that contains the Holiday timetable.
- click the Reader role for the timetable and then perform the following
steps.
- In the window on the right side of the page, click Add.
- Type the name (or part of the name) for the group of human resources
employees and click Search.
- From the list that is displayed, select one or more users or groups
and click OK.
- To give the human resources manager the ability to edit
the timetable, complete the following steps:
- Click the Writer role for the timetable.
- In the window on the right side of the page, click Add.
- Type the name (or part of the name) of the manager and click Search.
- From the list that is displayed, select the user name and click OK.
- Click Save to save all of the role
assignment changes.
