    I've been tasked with implementing Manager Self Service and I have a few questions.  Namely, what is the best way to modify the delivered bookmarks?  Example: sending notices with Process Flow for approvals on a pay raise under Personnel Actions.

    Do I use Design Studio with these bookmarks or just mod with html/javascript?  Does Lawson give any examples in a manual?  I've read the DS manual and I didnt see anything there.  Thanks for any help you can share with me.

      Do you mean the Inbasket view? If so, you can use either Design Studio or HTML/JavaScript. Please clarify what you want to do.

        When a user selects Personnel Actions and performs an action on one of their staff. Is that considered their inbasket view? I believe I need to place a trigger on that page that will kick off a PF.

          Okay, you want to know how to trigger the flow. A couple of steps. The Action has to be set to use WorkFlow (old name prior to ProcessFlow) on one of the Related Pages (8.03) or Tabs (9.x). You have to add a ProcessFlow Service with the same name as the Action (Pay Raise, for example) and that Service has to be enabled (and the Process Definition enabled). You, of course, have to assoicate the flow file with the Service too.

          These requirements are listed in the ProcessFlow Reference Guide.

                Great. Did my instructions make sense? This is fairly basic but it does require the ProcessFlow Solutions for HR to be installed. If you need help with the Inbasket view (where the approvers review and approve or reject the Action) you can post that in the ProcessFlow forum.

                In case I didn't make it clear, you don't need Design Studio or HTML/JavaScript modifications to trigger the flow. That is a standard trigger with Lawson.
