In Workflow, send an email to the initiator's manager/direct Superior

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to create a workflow that will send an email to an employee's manager(Superior) when that employee creates an expense report through the Portal.
I've got the workflow set up and it currently sends to me when an expense report is created. So that part isn't really an issue. The issue is how do I tell the workflow to send to the employee's manager? I'm not familiar with HR and don't know how to tell it to use the organizational structure to get the manager(one step Superior). HELP!?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Senthil,
In HR module all the employees will have positions. These positions were created in OM (organization management) module. And all the positions will have one manager or chief for that org unit. You can creat a workflow such a way that it should fetch the employee data from OM table.
Thanks,
Nandagopal C

Sharepoint Designer Workflow - Send an Email that displays Item Changes

Hi,
I have set up a Sharepoint Designer Workflow that sends an email to the Owner of an item (designated by a column in my list) whenver that item is changed by another user. The workflow looks like this:
If Current Item:Modified by not equals Current Item:Primary Owner
Email Primary Owner
This is set to occur whenever an item is modified.
I would like the email to show what changes were made to the item, similar to how Sharepoint's notifications work. It should show what the field that was changed to trigger the notification contains currently and what it contained previous to the change.
Any help is much appreciated.

hi,
out of box there is no option available. But you can implement a solution.
Create a hidden field as multiple line of text. Make it a hidden field so that user cannot enter into this field.
When ever a workflow start check if this field is empty that means item is create now using string manipulation in workflow concatenate the meta data in one workflow variable and save it in this hidden field.
whenevre a workflow is start if hidden field is not empty it means this is an update item scenerio and than you
can have read old values from this field and you have new values in item metadat. format email to get diff.
send email upadte the hidden field again with new meta data.

Workflows sending duplicate emails.

I have many workflows that send 2+ email notifications. Sometimes it's a brand new wf - or sometimes I've had a wf working fine for months, then I edit the email part (add a email address or add to email message body - NOT edit the wf) and it starts sending multiple email notifications. Sometimes if I recreate the exact wf - it starts working fine -- but not always. Do you have any suggestions. Thank you.
The workflow didn't work with SalesStage -- but when I changed it to SalesStageId it worked... Thank you!
Edited by: user9978914 on Jun 22, 2010 9:56 AM

yes! It is an Opportunity record - 'when modified record is saved' workflow -- it was this:
[<SalesStage>] = 'Closed/Won' AND [<OpportunityType>] = LookupValue("OCCAM_OPPTY_SALES_TYPE", "Software") AND [<IndexedPick2>] = LookupValue("OCC_INDEX_CUST_LOV_OPTY_2", "IBM") and worked fine for a long time.
Then I added a new email recipient (did NOT alter the wf)-- and it started duplicating. I changed the wf to:
[<SalesStage>] = 'Closed/Won' AND [<OpportunityType>] = LookupValue("OCCAM_OPPTY_SALES_TYPE", "Software") AND ([<SalesStageId>] <> PRE('<SalesStageId>')) AND [<IndexedPick2>] = LookupValue("OCC_INDEX_CUST_LOV_OPTY_2", "IBM") and it seems to be working now - only sending one email. The ([<SalesStageId>] <> PRE('<SalesStageId>')) was the only thing changed.

Workflow sending multiple emails

Workflow sending multiple emails.
I had created the workflow for document library (ABC)
The document library ha 2 fields
1. Employee Name
2. Resume Type
Document Library Settings are as shown in the screenshot.
My workflow settings are as shown in the screenshot:
When I upload a document, workflow is sending 2 emails.
How to resolve to send only 1 email. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow you created sent two emails instead of one emails if you uploaded a document to library.
Could you provide the actions that you used in the workflow or a screenshot about your workflow?
Please add a step at the end of your workflow which will pause the workflow for a few minutes and test whether this issue occurs.

Sending encrypted emails from the iPad is not working

I can't get sending encrypted emails working on my iPad3 running iOS 8.0.2
Let me explain what I did:
1. I created S/MIME certificates for 2 email addresses on my iMac in Keychain Access. One email address exists only on the iMac the other only on the iPad.
2. I set "When using this certificate" to "Always Trust" in both certificates.
3. I exported 1 S/MIME certificate (p12) and installed it on the iPad. Then I deleted this certificate and its private&public keys in iMac Keychain Access
4. I exchanged public certificates between the 2 devices. I installed one certificate in iMac Keychain Access and the other in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles.
5. On the iMac in the iPad certificate I set "When using this certificate" to "Always Trust"
6. I tested whether I can send and receive signed and/or encrypted emails
Results:
1. From the iMac I can send signed and/or encrypted emails to the iPad.
    On the iPad I can read the encrypted emails. The signature is not trusted
2. On the iPad I can send signed messages to the iMac. On the iMac the signature is trusted.
    I cannot send encrypted emails from the iPad to the iMac. The iPad doesn't know about the public certificate in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles
So much for the straight forward part. Now it gets a bit more complicated and confusing.
1. I deleted the iMac certificate in the iPad/Settings/General/Profiles. Then in iPad Mail I opened the signed mail coming from the iMac.
    I viewed the untrusted certificate in Mail and installed it. From this point on all signed emails from the iMac are trusted.
    Strangely the by this method installed certificate doesn't appear in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles.
    Furthermore I still cannot send encrypted messages to the iMac. This certificate installation seems to be used only to check trust worthiness of the signature.
    Installing on top the iMac public certificate in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles doesn't enable to send encrypted messages from the iPad either.
To be sure that this problem relates to the iPad certificate management and is not related to an error by me I did the following:
1. I transferred a p12 file for a certificate that I created in my iMac to a PC running Windows7.
2. I transferred a p12 file plus its public key (.pem) that I created in my iMac to another iMac into Keychain Access. (I have not tested if the pem is needed).
3. On the other iMac and the PC I made sure that the certificates are trusted.
    On the PC that means in the Certificate Manager the p12 needs to be in the "Personal" folder and in the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" folder.
    The public keys need to be in the "Trusted People" folder and the "Other People" folder. One can just copy/paste the certificates.
4. In both cases I deleted the certificate and public/private keys on my iMac.
5. I exchanged public certificates between the devices.
6. I tested exchanging signed and/or encrypted emails between my iMac and the PC and my iMac and the other iMac.
Result:
1. I can send signed and/or encrypted emails to the other iMac and the PC
2. The PC and the other iMac trust the signature from my iMac and can read the encrypted emails
3. My iMac can read encrypted emails from the PC and the other iMac
4. My iMac trusts emails with signatures from the PC and the other iMac.
Everything is working as it should.
After the above test I wanted to see whether I can set up encrypted email exchange between the iPad and the PC. Strangely iPad Mail recognized the public certificate from the PC installed in iPad/Settings/General/Profiles and allowed me to send an encrypted email to the PC. However, on the PC I was unable to read the encrypted email. And the other way around, encrypted emails send from the PC to the iPad cannot be read on the iPad.
My conclusion from all this testing is that iPad mail encryption is still "under construction".

I was able to resolve the above described problem to some degree. Setting up sending and receiving encrypted emails between iOS and OSX I have working.
What is still not working is reading encrypted emails on the iPad/iOS8 received from Windows 7 PC. And sending encrypted emails to Windows 7 PC.
The details about how I solved part of the problem are described here.

I need to reset my security questions but when I send an email to the rescue email it doesn't get to me its the wrong email. help?

iTunes wont let me download any music and I have over $20 on my account. It says I need to answer my security questions but I don't know the answers. When I try to send an email to the rescue email, it doesn't work. It says the email starts with an "h" but none of my emails start with an "h". I also don't know how to edit the email. Someone please help!

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Sending an email to the user if the WEBi scheduling failed in CMC

Hello Everyone,
Current scenario :
I am scheduling WEBi report through CMC and the report is going to end user email as an excel attachment.
Desired Functionality :
What happens is if the scheduling fails due to some reason. The email does not go to the end user on a particular date and then he complaints.
What i need here an email sending option that if the WEBi scheduling has been failed in CMC an email should go to the user saying : " The WEBi scheduling has failed. The team is working on it " . (This is just a sample message)
So the idea is to send an email to the user when the WEBi scheduling fails in the CMC. How to achieve this ?
Regards,
Ashutosh Singh

Hi Ashutosh,
You can send an alert email to a group when the schedule fails to run by choosing the "A job has failed to run" option under notification.
You can see this option only if you schedule the report through CMC.
Regards
Sunil

Sending an email using the gmail client on the iPhone

Hello,
When I send an email using the gmail client on the iPhone, the message I send then shows up in my 'in box' and not my 'sent' box. Mail app on my computer behaves in the same manner. Is there a fix for this?
Thanks for your help.

Hi, its because gmail treats each message as a "conversation" rather than emails sent or recieved. so your sent email will say "from me" all in the same inbox. check this on the web based gmail...

I need to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password, can anybody help me and show me how to do that

Hello, I am trying to send an email where the recipient opens the PDF file with a password, can anybody show me how to do that

Hi surez,
To password protect a PDF file, you need to use Acrobat. If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it for free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.
In Acrobat, you choose File > Properties when the document is open, and then click the Security tab to set up a password.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

I have finally set up a group in my contacts. Can anyone please tell me how to send an email to the entire group? running Mavericks on iMac

Drag the entire group into the To: field of a new message. The group is in your Address Book. You've used a name for it, like My Group. You can simply start typing "My Group" in that To: field and it should appear in a context menu.

My icloud email address is included in a friend's address group set up in Gmail. When they send an email to the group, the email never gets through to my icloud address - why?

My icloud email address is included in a friend's address group set up in Gmail. When they send an email to the group, the email never gets through to my icloud address - why?

They've always been able to send to me individually - just not when my email is part of a group or even when it's just included with several other addresses added one at a time.

Schedule Mail.app to send an Email in the future

Hey everyone, I want to send an email in the future, for marking an anniversary of a friends daughters passing away. I Don't want to miss it and I don't want to have to compose a message last minute. I want to compose it NOW. Is there a script or something I can use to make Mail.app send the mail via my Gmail IMAP at a specified time?
Thanks!

I will say that Mail Scripts does work. I have used it for a couple of years and it allows me to create an email, save as DRAFT, then run the script for it to send it out in the future.
It even still works on Mountain Lion 10.8.1

Reducing PDF file size or Optimizing PDF is the feature that is supported only by Acrobat Pro (desktop app that is not free).
Optimizing PDFs (Acrobat Pro)
Free Adobe Reader products (Reader XI desktop, Reader for iOS, Reader for Android, Reader Touch for Windows 8, etc) do not offer the capability.
