Email: Workflow and Task List Notification

Hi,
I am wondering whether the setting 'Workflow and Task List Notification' in application settings is functionality that I can use: I would like to setup the e-mail notifications for planning. One of the tasks on a standard task list that we would like end users to be able to do is to inform a particular user/group that a particular task has been completed. I would not like this task to be a workflow task, can e-mail notifications be sent for standard task list items?
Options that I have reviewed:
- Custom button on a dataform - not sure whether I can send parameters through to this, however I could use the form name as a description.
- A *.jsp page that accepts two parameters 'Description / form name' and 'e-mail address' and the page then sends off an e-mail (Lotus Notes from WebLogic 9)
- Workflow - although this inform task is not entity driven. Also the notifications are across plan types i.e. one cube enters in Information and then informs users of the second cube that figures are required - which we then import using xref.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I know it can be done, I am just looking for the easiest way to implement this using standard planning functionality where possible.
Kind Regards,
FC

The default email solutions in planning are using workflow or task lists, though the task lists are based on due dates.
If you wanted a solution where an email is sent out when a task list is complete, then one route could be to have a business rule attached to a task list and then the business rule uses a custom CDF to send out email notication.
If you are interested in sending emails from business rules then I did write a blog on the subject a while back.

Reminder email notification and task assignment notification from humantask

Hi All ,
We have developed a 3 level approval SOA composite which sends the 1st level approval to a Manager and once Manager approves the request, the approval task is assigned to a 2nd level approver role(Group) for approval and after the approval from 2nd level approver group , the approval task is assigned to a 3rd level approver group .
After the request is submitted and the task is assigned to Manager for approval. Manager receives a task assignment notification (defined in the notification tab of the .task) and a reminder notification is fired after X hours of the task assignment. The issue is, the assignment notification and reminder notification are same, is it possible to send different notification on task assignment and a different notification on reminder.
Appreciate your help on this !
Thanks

Integration between Custom list and task list

Is it advisable to provide solutions for the integration between custom list and tasks list in SharePoint?
I am working on a scenario where the data has to be segregated between multiple lists and there will be transactions among these lists using workflow. Some of the capabilities in Tasks list like due date notifications, calendar, tracking are needed
on the transaction. Since these lists are based out of different content types, is it advisable to choose these lists for solutions?
When we have to make few updates through workflow from custom list to tasks, will there be any problem in the transactions as it is two different content type?
Vijayaragavan, MCTS

Since SPLists and SharePoint workflows don't provide inherent
support for transactions, you have to handle rollback operations yourself.
The easiest way to simulate a transaction is to read in the state of any list item you are changing prior to executing an update, and then write that state back should you detect a failure. It's not a perfect solution, since a sufficiently severe error might
prevent your rollback updates as well. That's the price you pay for not having the data store support transactions.
That being said, while it's true many clients will ask for business critical data to be stored in SPLists, I would argue that it's your job to convince them that it's not a good idea, and that transactional databases accessed over webservices are a much safer

Week view and task list solutions? Solved: a way to sync notes to Mac.

I've been using a Palm Tungsten T5 for years and routinely rely on the Palm's Calendar week view feature and task list. The week view is indispensable to see where I can fit in appointments. Are there any ways to achieve the same functionalities on the iPhone, whether using built-in iPhone apps or third party apps? The task list would have to include item priorities, due dates, alarms, and ideally repeating events.
I have found a way to sync notes from the iPhone to my Mac using MarkSpace's The Missing Sync for iPhone; notes are synced to the MarkSpace "notebook" application, where you can edit the notes (and copy and paste) and sync them back to the iPhone. This doesn't sync notes with any Apple applications, though.
If I could solve the week view and task list omissions, I could see my way to replace my Palm with an iPhone. (And when ePocrates releases a full suite for the iPhone, I'll be all set.) But in the absence of these, I'll have to keep using a Palm.

I'm in the same boat, unfortunately.
As a life long Palm-User the PIM-functionalities of iCal can only be described as "rudimentary". It is nowhere near DateBk6 for example. And I would be just fine if it would come close to say 50% of it's functionality. Right now it's at about 25%.
- no repeating tasks?
- no tasks+calendar in one view?
- no week view?
- no icons for event/task categories?
Come on Apple, such a great device with the amazing screen resolution, horizontal view etc. and you are not taking opportunity of it and get beat by 10 year old PDA's?

What are the fundamental procurement workflows and tasks?

A discussion has begun in the Knowledge Management branch of SAP about the [Help documentation for SAP Sourcing|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sourcing_wave7_p/helpdata/en/39/8ee60a3d74482e9e0111c46dc1e23d/frameset.htm]. Many feel that Help could better serve the needs of SAP Sourcing users if it were organized and written along the lines of the regular workflows and tasks performed by procurement professionals. Some questions arise from this discussion that would best be answered by the community of procurement professionals. That's you. Care to take a shot?
What do you think about the idea of reorganizing Help according to procurement workflows?
What exactly are the fundamental workflows and tasks you execute frequently toward the accomplishment of procurement goals?
Take a look at the Table of Contents/navigation bar toward the left side of the SAP Sourcing Help page. Currently, its top-level topics are Getting Started, Workbench, Spend and Compliance, etc. If you could rename those top-level topics with the names of fundamental procurement workflows, what would you name them?
Going down a level, what are the fundamental tasks you must execute within any of the fundamental procurement workflows mentioned above?
Any input you'd give on these questions will help us improve how Help is organized and written as we go forward. It will be greatly appreciated.

Functional Location and Task List FM

Hi
Can you please suggest me Function module for Functional Location(TPLNR) and Task List(PLNTY)
Thank you in advance

I need to creat a BOM and FL report, in which user gives input through selection screen and gets some out put in ALV.
as there are many fields and tables therefore I would like to use FM instead of writing SELECT queries to fetch data to overcome performance issue.
I have already found CS_BOM_EXPL_EQU_V2 using which I can fetch something around 14 fields out of total 45 field which I need to fetch.
The rest fields are related to Functional Location and Task List , therefore I need to find out some relevant FM to fetch those fields.
If you can even suggest me some useful Function Group also, I can search the FMs in it.
Thanks in advance

Palm Treopro--Sync multiple calendars and task lists

I have more than one calendar and task list that I use in Outlook. Is there a way to sync multiple calendars and task lists on the Palm Pro?
Thanks,
Al
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Sprint)

I just upgraded to Pre 2 a couple weeks ago and have been experiencing similar problems with my Verizon model and a replacement. Apparently it is widespread; there is a lengthy (11 pages so far) thread on it in this Community forum. Try http://palm.lithium.com/t5/Synergy-webOS/strange-behavior-syncing-Pre2-Calendar-with-Google-Calendar... or Google the phrase "strange behavior syncing Pre 2 Google" (look for a search response that references "11 pages" or you'll miss some of the more recent posts). Not sure there are any good answers at the moment. Very disappointing if so; the Google/Pre sync worked flawlessly on my Pre Plus for the past 15 months (webOS v.1.4.5)

Workflow 2013 task list

In a workflow 2013 there is a workflow task list that I would like to ask the following questions about:
1. When I want to access the task list, I do not know where to look for it? Thus can you tell me how to locate the task list? My worklfow 2013 does have stage names.
2. Sometimes when I am testing, I get email messages saying a task you been assigned to a particular person (which includes test accounts). How these email messages being generated? Thus would you show me what I need to look at find find what generates these
email messages?

Hi Wendy,
I assume you are using SharePoint workflow on 2013 platform based on Workflow Manager.
Since 2013 workflow can only be designed in SharePoint Designer, then if we access workflow settings page in Designer, we can open associated task list and history list.
After publishing feature is enabled, you will find a task list named Workflow Task which is the task list of 2013 workflow by default. You can access it via
http://sitename/WorkflowTasks/AllItems.aspx .
With Task action, workflow mechanism will send email notification to task participants, and another email notification will be sent along which you can customized it in workflow design. Here are the references for task action in workflow 2013:

Inconsistency with maintenance cycle and task list phases in ChaRM

Hi Experts,
I'm deploying ChaRM with SolMan 4.0 SP09.
I was testing a scenario where there are more than one maintenance project open for same landscape (different logical components but values are the same). I have been using maintenance cycle document (in crmd_order) to control phase changes both in task list and in maintenance cycle.
I received an error message stating that the system has reset the status of the maintenance cycle and the end result was that task list phase is one step ahead of the maintenance cycle. This of course causes the situation where certain actions are no longer possible (maintenance cycle in Dev with release but task list already in test => release and import are not possible and reseting phase with task list is prevented by ChaRM).
My question is how do I restore the inconsistency. I have looked for notes (but of course this is not a notes issue) and the internet for solution.
I am very greatful for any hints you may give me!
Kind regards,
Auli

Thank you!
Exactly what I'm trying to do. I'll give it a go and get back to you asap.

Time logs and task lists

My previous all-in-on offered numerous forms, etc. to print from the printer. Now it seems that I must join the web center printing to get the same?? Is that correct?? My objection is to the contract, which seems to say that joining allows HP to use private information, to keep my faxes and to use contact information from same to advertise. IS THAT CORRECT??? Is that the only way I will now get the time log forms and the task lists, etc. that used to be available as part of buying this printer?

I have an HP Officejet 6700 Premium, which is a new one. On the earlier version, I could just print the forms from the printer itself, with out going through the process of signing for the web service - -to which I alluded in my question.
Also, this scanner is not as user-friendly as my first one on the review screen. I didn't expect such changes to the same model.
anyway-- back to my original question. Like said, the model is 6700 Premium, which in general is a very nice unit.

Assembly and Task list : storage location defaulted from task list

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me the different steps (with details) required in master data (assembly, task list,...) to get the 'storage location' filled by default in the general maintenance task list : how assembly is used in that process?
Thanks,
P.

Hi Pete,
In the component overview for a given operation, when assigning a component : further on the right, there is a storage location field.

I am not receiving new email alerts on iphone 4s. I have powered down and also deleted the email account and reset all notification. I have to manually fetch all emails

Please help with new emails. I am not receiving new email notification. I have to manually fetch all emails. I have contacted Apple several times. I have powered device all the way down, reset me.com. My me.com account works great on Mac. Please help

So all email notifications were not coming thru...from any source. Talked to another Apple text and he advised me to shut down the multitask bar at the bottom. So far so good. Seems kind of strange because the problem had only started about a month ago. I've had the phone since August
