Hi All,

I wanted to understand which TI processes are triggered when a user submits a node in the Application web for emails to be sent. We have a situation where the approval hierarchy has leaf level elements which sends email on submit, but we want the emails sent only when the parent level is submitted.

For eg., in the below approval hierarchy dimension, Empl A is the manager of Empl B and Empl B manages C, D & E. When Empl B submits his node for approval, emails are sent for each leaf level node to Empl A. Therefore, Empl A gets 3 emails when Empl B submits his node.

Empl A
--> Empl B
-------> Empl C
-------> Empl D
-------> Empl E

Is it possible to send email when a parent level is submitted?

We are working on some workaround and also, wanted to know which TI processes are triggered for the email to function.

TIA,
D

Hi,

You can determine process by pressing buttons and analyzing tm1server.log. The process is }tp_workflow_execute_action, and, based on the button pressed, it launches the particular process (e.g. }tp_workflow_submit_node for submit button).

BUT: do not edit this processes!

Create your own process to check the circumstances (like "ELLEV(approval hierarchy, node) = 1") and to send e-mails, and configure in Performance Modeler to execute your process when the button is pressed:
