Other Users need access to Appraisal Documents in OSA

Hi,
We are implementing Objective Setting and Appraisals and have found that when a user logs into the Portal, they are only able to enter Appraisal documents where they are the Appraisee or Appraiser.
We have the need to allow other users to enter Appraisal documents, for example, the Next Higher Supervisor.  When they log into the Portal, they can see all their subordinates, but it looks like no one has an appraisal document, when in fact, they do.
What do we need to change to allow these extra users to be able to see that appraisal documents do exist so that they can select them?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mary Ann Kolnik

Hi Rachel,
Hopefully I will answer your questions. 
We currently have a custom implementation of the column owner badi because we found that the choices delivered (AE-for appraisee only, AR-for appraiser only, etc.) were not enough for us.  We determined that our requirements for column access needed an owner of the appraisee sometimes and an owner of appraiser sometimes and possibly even other participants (like a Power User, Delegate, etc.).  So, right now we created an AL choice for 'All Users' and then in the column owner method check_column_owner, we have code to see if 'myself' is the appraisee, the appraiser, or a further participant.
If he's the appraisee, we pass an 'E' in the export parameter column_owner.  If he's the appraiser, we pass an 'R', and so forth.
Then we have these values in our custom zcol_access table.  This is so that the column access badi can pull the column availability from zcol_access for the particular column_owner per column/status/substatus.  This allows for columns to be hidden, display only, or changeable for particular people at particular status/substatuses.  We do have the template field also in the zcol_access table so you could separate the column access per template also. 
I hope this makes sense.  It is working for us so far, now the issue is how to get the further participants to be able to enter the correct set of appraisals and get the right columns and custom pushbuttons.  We would like to use the hrhap_others table, because it works well with our column owner and column access design, but our further participants can change their roles often, so we don't want them permanently tied to an appraisal.  More research and trial and error needed.

  • Access to appraisal document via ESS is restricted by status

    Our requirement is for the appraisee to record their objectives (via ESS) and then select a 'To Manager' pushbutton to send a workflow to the manager requesting them to approve the objectives. The problem is that once the workflow has gone to the manager the appraisee cannot access the appraisal document until the manager has approved the objectives and the appraisal status has changed from 'In Planning' to 'In Process'. How can the appraiser view the appraisal document (via ESS) whilst it has the status ‘In Planning’?
    We also have a similar issue later in the process. When the appraisee selects the <Close Part Appraisal> pushbutton to signify that they have completed their self appraisal the appraisal document has status ‘In Process’. The appraisee cannot access the appraisal (via ESS) until the appraiser also completes their part appraisal and sets the status to ‘Completed’. Is there a setting to allow the appraisee to have read access to the document during this part of the process?
    Thanks and regards,
    Janet

    Hi again Maurice.
    Once the appraisal status has been set to 'Completed' the appraisee needs to Accept or Reject the appraisal but the appraisal now appears as display only (both in ESS and ECC). We are using BSP documents_received.htm for ESS
    The 'Accept' and 'Reject' pushbuttons are not active in ESS
    The 'Accept' and 'Reject' pushbuttons are active in ECC and update the appraisal status as required. However if the appraisal is rejected and the status is set back to 'In Process' the appraisal document is still display only.
    Any ideas?

  • How do I allow other users limited access to iPhoto?

    I am seeking to create other user accounts for my Mac that will allow my wife and my 8 year old to view photos in iPhoto but will not allow them to screw it up (i.e., will not allow them to edit or delete any photos, etc.).  Is there a way that I can give them access to view only?  Thanks.

    When you share a Photo Stream and invite a family member to view it, the family member will see the photo stream in the iPhoto Library, in the iCloud section:  It will look like regular albums.

  • Multiple users need to see some documents in SQL table, PHP

    Is there a way to serve up data for a user based on their group assignment?  I have two SQL tables.  The first one has the user login information (username, password, groupID note: multiple users can belong to same GroupID).  The second table has the data that needs to be shown (file name, date, groupID note: multiple files can be assigned to same GroupID).  I need to be able to serve up the file name and date from the second group based on the groupID assigned in the first table.  I know this should be simple, but for some reason I just can't wrap my head around it.  My site is PHP.   Thank you in advance for any help,

    The GroupID you are using is typically used as an access level and used for access and restriction to pages, but the same principles apply here. I would suggest using three groups, with the third meaning both. This value can be stored in a session variable or used when a recordset from the user table is executed on the page. Use this value in your select statement to choose records marked with the same groupID.
      So you'll have three groups, 1, 2 and  3 with three indicating both. However, in the second table, the groupID in those records will still only be assigned to 1 or 2,  so you'll need an OR statement in the SQL to choose both when the access level is 3.

  • New user - need info on reading documents

    I dusted off my husbands old Tungsten E which I know is kind of old but would be sufficient for my needs, namely use it to read documents on the go.  (My husband is not much help as he never did really used it.)

  • How to mass copy old rating and weightage to new appraisal documents in OSA

    Hello experts,
    As a part of annual appraisal process, we have incorporated some new logics in terms of rating calculation and elements in the same templates. But those logics are not being copied in already triggered documents whose goals/objects are approved by manager during mid year.
    Now we are planning to trigger new documents for all those employees, but can any one suggest how to copy those approved goals and objectives in new documents? As my client doesnot want to go through the goal setting process again .
    Please suggest if any BADI or ABAP program we can use for the same.
    Regards
    Tandrima

    implement a fix enhancement (HRHAP00_ENHANCE_FIX) to add the old approved elements to the new document. And tehn have value determinations (HRHAP00_VAL_DET) to fill these added elements with the correct content.

  • User cannot access redirected Documents folder, but can connect to share in Windows Explorer and access folder on server

    I am in the final stages of a cross-forest migration.  Users have Windows 7 workstations with redirected folders on a Windows Server 2012 box running in the old forest.  User accounts were not migrated.  The accounts in use have always
    been in the "new" forest.  One of our challenges was the large volume of data in redirected folders.  I made sure users in the target forest had continued to have access to their redirected folders in the old forest and robocopied
    the entire users share, copying the permissions with the files.  By doing incremental robocopies, we can get a final copy done now in about six hours.  The plan was simple: copy the files, do an incremental copy every night, on the night of the cutover
    change the folder redirection policy Documents path from
    \\oldserver\users\%USERNAME% to
    \\newserver\users\%USERNAME%. The policy is configured to NOT copy user files from the existing folder to the new redirected folder.  Everything was going well until I tested the policy change.  After the folder redirection policy is updated
    and applied, the user cannot access the private Documents folder.  For example, user Chester Tester logs on as ctester.  I open Windows Explorer and click the Documents shortcut.  I see one subfolder, which is subfolder of Public Documents. 
    So I can look at Public Documents but when I click on the Documents folder (Under the Documents library link) I get an access denied error.  Now for the kicker, if I open another Windows Explorer window and edit the address bar to
    \\newserver\users\ctester, I can navigate the Documents folder tree and see my thousands of documents. What the ....?
    I'm hoping this is something really simple to fix!
    TIA

    HI Vivian,
    Thank you for your reply.  Yes, the path in Group Policy Folder Redirection Root Path was updated to
    \\NEWSERVER\users.  I had planned to point this to the distributed file system, so the first used was actually
    \\domain\dfs\users.  To simplify things I have backed off to copying to just a normal share
    \\newserver\users. 
    We are using BASIC folder redirection and we create a folder for each user under the root path. 
    We did not want the policy to move content, as we were seeing users requiring 15-20 minute logon times  (or higher) after the policy is changed.
    Grant the User exclusive right to Documents - Disabled
    Move the contents of Documents to the new location - Disabled
    Related folder settings
    Video - Follow Documents
    Music - Follow Documents
    Pictures - Follow Documents
    Now when I change the folder redirection from old server to new server I now have TWO My Documents folders in the user's redirection folder on the server.  The redirected Documents points to an empty folder set.  The copied folders with all user
    data are there, but folder redirection refuses to recognize the original folder.
    I am looking at the full view of the folder, nothing hidden, so I'm wondering how a folder can have two subfolders with the exact same name.  For now, I just want the redirection to move from the old server to the new server properly.  I deleted
    the new My Documents folder, rebooted the user's workstation and tried again.  The behavior repeats itself, i.e., a new My Documents folder is always created when the redirection policy is changed from the old server to the new server.  The environment
    has about 1500 users with approximately 1.3TB of data in the redirected Documents folders.  OUCH!

  • Need help getting multiple user accounts access an app and its data

    Hello All,
    We recently got a new iMAC. We set up 3 user accounts in it. Two are admin accounts (one for me and one for my husband). The third is a user account with parental controls turned on (for our kid). Here is the basic setup:
    1. Accnt1 - admin
    2. Accnt2 - admin
    3. Accnt3 - user
    Now, I installed the complete national geographic application on the iMAC along with all the data. This is a 6 CD set that took several hours to install. I installed it logged in with Accnt1 (please see above). This installed all the data (150 years worth of data) onto the Documents folder for Accnt1.
    The installation was successful and when I launch the application, I can view all the data from Accnt1.
    So what is the problem? I tried logging in from Accnt2 and Accnt3. While the applciation is visible and will launch from both those user profiles, no data gets displayed. My guess is that this is because the data from the 6 CD's got installed onto the Documents folder for Accnt1 which is not viewable/accessible from Accnt2 and Accnt3. Therefore, nothing gets displayed.
    How do I fix this issue without reinstalling the software so that ALL 3 user accounts on my iMac can access the application AND its data?
    My guess is that I will have to provide user permissions/access to the Documents folder for Accnt1 such that both Accnt2 and Accnt3 are read/write. I tried to do that via the Finder and 'More info' operation wherein I click on the tiny lock icon at the bottom of the screen and add Accnt2 and Accnt3 as read/write. But this does not fix the problem for ALL folders further down and I dont want to fix each and every folder.
    Is there a quick way to resolve this problem? Can I fix this issue via a terminal window with a command?
    Please do help me out.
    Thanks in advance

    Move the data folder out of A's documents folder and into /Users/Shared. Then, control-option-command-drag the data folder from its new location back to its original location in A's documents folder. This makes an alias. Log in to the other user accounts and repeat the process for making aliases, to each user's Documents folder.
    You might also contact the developer and politely suggest that they learn how to write programs properly for Mac OS X.

  • How can I export an entire album to my desktop so any user can access my photos?

    Is there an easy way to export photos from my iPhoto library so that other users can access them without needing a Mac or iPhoto?

    But if it's a big album, be sure to create a new folder on the desktop first, to export them into. Having hundreds of individual photos on your desktop will slow your computer to a crawl.

  • Share itunes with other users, windows 8

    I have just bought a new PC running windows 8. For each member of my family I have set up individual user accounts. I have then installed iTunes and attempted to follow the instructions located at iTunes: How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer - Apple Support to ensure that we can all access my centrally stored iTunes media/libraries. I have followed the instructions to the letter but it does NOT WORK on Windows 8. It may have worked on other versions, but not windows 8. Please, do not respond with the above link - it's already driven me crazy that this is the only result google turns up.
    In iTunes, I have used 'edit preferences' to select the public music - 'iTunes media' folder on all accounts, and keep checking the actual public folder (C - Users - Public - Public Music - ITunes - ITunes Media) to make sure all the data is there. Indeed it is there. But for each other user, iTunes won't display any of the songs in my library, or any of the playlists.
    I have even tried holding shift, opening iTunes and then selecting the central library. This just results in the music all being displayed, but iTunes displaying the message that it can't find any of the songs.(I have over 30,000...).
    I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes several times, and have deleted and reinstalled the iTunes data - music. libraries etc (currently backed up on an external HDD) several times. I can get iTunes to work on my account only (administrator) - but whenever I try to set up other users to access the public content, iTunes won't cooperate.
    As far as I can tell, with Windows 8, there is NO WAY TO SHARE YOUR ITUNES LIBRARIES WITH OTHER USER ACCOUNTS. I have read all the previous threads on this topic, have googled everything, and have looked on youtube
    Apple - this not good enough.

    Was it these directions?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
    Did you read the line at the bottom?
    +When another user of the computer has imported new music from CD, repeat steps 6 through 8 to add the music to your library+ .
    You need to drag the public folder over into those user's itunes window.
    Alternatively, itunes menu > file > add folder to library
    When you download or rip new CDs, each user has to add it manually to their library list.
    Or use something like itunes folder watch.
    When you changed the other users itunes preferences, that will affect FUTURE additions. Now you are in the future and they need to add those songs to their itunes database list.
    With itunes 9 you might have success putting new music in this *Automatically Add to itunes* folder
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3832
    But I haven't tried it.
