About this task

The scenario is an example of how to use Business Space to create tasks for other people. Imagine that you work in the customer support department of a communications company. You have just received a call from a customer representative that you need to travel to a customer site to investigate a network problem. Before you can make your travel arrangements, you need to get approval from your manager for the trip.

Your responsibilities include updating policy documents and ensuring that the changes you make are approved. To perform these responsibilities, you use Business Space to complete the following steps.

Procedure
  1. You log onto Business Space and open the space that you use for creating approval requests.
  2. You switch to the Create Tasks page and create an approval request using the Task Definitions List widget.
  3. In the Task Information widget, you enter the user ID of the approver, describe the updates that you've made to the policy document, and attach the document for approval. You repeat this step to send an approval request to each of the document approvers.
  4. On the day when the approvals are due, you check the progress of the approval requests using the Tasks List widget with the authorization filter Tasks I Created. You filter the tasks that are shown in the All tasks list to show only those that are finished. You notice that all but one of the managers has approved the document.
  5. Because your process requires that only a majority of the reviewers approve the changes, you decide to delete the one outstanding approval request. In the Tasks List widget, you filter the tasks in the All tasks list to show those that you submitted, and delete the outstanding request.
Results
Your updated policy document is approved.
