!!!How to Define User Procedures
[{TableOfContents }]
At line 3 changed one line
The Define Procedure process allows you to link together two or more system functions to complete a task. This is known as a Procedure.
!!!USER PROCEDURES/WIZARDS
At line 5 changed one line
The procedure can take you through a sequence of the various screens and/or reports required to complete a task. A typical procedure would be anything that requires multiple record changes. Examples would be creating a new job or position, new hire(s), transfers, change of marital status, etc.
A procedure is a type of user definable function that links together two or more system functions into a business procedure.
The procedure can take you through a sequence of the various screens and/or reports required to complete a task.
At line 7 changed one line
When you are finished entering date into a procedure screen, clicking ‘Next’ will commit the changes to the database and will navigate the user to the next sequential step in the procedure. Clicking ‘Finish’ will complete the procedure and will close it out.
Procedures are invoked through the command line. You must have execution rights before you are able to run them.
At line 10 added one line
A Procedure Wizard provides a container for the procedure and controls the flow between the procedure steps. A side bar lists each of the functions that are part of the procedure, in the order they should be executed.
At line 12 added 8 lines
The flow takes you through each step in order; however, you are able to step outside the normal flow if you wish to correct something or you want to skip steps. Mandatory steps cannot be skipped.
In Admin, you may be in the middle of a procedure and switch to another form, change and save data without affecting the status of the procedure. You can continue the procedure where you left off when you are ready.
When you are finished entering data into a procedure screen, clicking ‘Next’ will commit the changes to the database and will navigate the user to the next sequential step in the procedure. Clicking ‘Finish’ will complete the procedure and will close it out.
Typically, complex processes like enrolling employees into benefit plans, multiple record changes like getting married, or post-hire processes are good candidates for definition as a procedure.

!!How to Define User Procedures
There are a couple of screens that require set up in order for a procedure to be fully defined.

**If the procedure is going to use a header, the subject table must be populated. The subject table is the table that is associated with the procedure. If the steps within the procedure are all tied to the same subject (ie:employments) then that subject table should be defined (ie: [P2K_HR_EMPLOYMENTS]). If the steps within the procedure are tied to different subjects, the subject table of the first step should be used to populate the procedure's subject table. One method of determining the subject table of a form is by checking [IMFD] to determine which FIND block is used by the form. Employee related forms are often tied to either FIND_EID or FIND_EEM. FIND_EID would indicate the subject table would be [P2K_HR_IDENTITIES] and FIND_EEM would indicate the subject table would be [P2K_HR_EMPLOYMENTS]. Another method would be to review the [Entity Relationship Diagrams|ERD].

**The Purpose field can be used to indicate the purpose of the procedure. (i.e. to streamline the new hire process ensuring all appropriate screens/forms have been updated.)

*Execution Rights tab - [P2K_MASTER] role should be defined here for all new functions, in addition to any other roles that are required for users to access this procedure

The second step in creating the procedure is going to the Define User Procedures ([IMPC]) screen. The information entered for the function created in step 1 will be defaulted in the header portion of the screen.
The second step in creating the procedure is going to the Define User Procedures ([IMPC]) screen where you can link together two or more system functions to complete the task.
The procedure form is divided into two parts: a "header" component that defines general aspects of the procedure and the "procedure steps" component that defines the individual functions that make up the procedure. The information entered for the function created in step 1 will show in the header portion of the screen.

**[Description |DESCRIPTION]– This field displays the full screen name of the function to be executed as part of the procedure. This name will default in when the function is chosen.

**[Create|CREATE_ALLOWED], [Retrieve|RETRIEVE_ALLOWED], [Update|UPDATE_ALLOWED], [Delete|DELETE_ALLOWED] – These toggles are used to determine what execution rights the user has when running the procedure. The CRUD defined will only restrict what is already set up for the report on [IMFN].

!!Suspending a Procedure
If the user clicks on the 'Finish' button before completing all steps in the procedure, they will be prompted with a dialog to Suspend their procedure to complete it at a later time. If they choose 'SUSPEND', a message indicating that their progress was saved successfully and the procedure can be re-launched at any time from their Outstanding Workflow Tasks.
At line 111 added 3 lines
To re-launch the procedure, the User can navigate to the IMUWFL screen in Admin or to the WEETSK_SPLASH in Self Service, and choose to launch the Procedure, just as they would any other Workflow form. The procedure wizard should open to the last step they were on, with the correct subject in focus on the form, as well as the Header (if one exists). The Navigation check list on the left-hand-side should indicate the steps already completed.
* Screens added - Manager screen (WMMSD) to view/manage Procedures assigned to employees & Assign new Procedures via dialog (MASPROC).
* Option to launch Procedure at login is also available.
