We want to generate an email using processflow integrator that contains something like a smart URL to approve/reject web time entry records. I'm guessing it would need to satisfy LSF 9.0 authentification requirements and then update pending web time entry statuses. The goal is to allow our executives to approve or reject time without logging in to the Lawson Portal. We would like for them to be able to approve time right in an email.
Is this even possible? If so, what is involved? Just some additional javascripting within the flow or is it far more complicated? I would like some high level understanding of how this could work before submitting RFP's. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!
While I can appreciate wanting the convience, there is exposure to bring this kind of functionality seamlessly without requiring a logon. Anyone who can intercept the email can do the approval.
Yes, as of right now, they all use Blackberries. Not sure how long that will last though.
This is way over my head, but what about using a masked URL that's then translated by a tool on the webserver to log that person in - thereby providing some security. I don't know how that would work exactly but it sounds good.
