Using a Standard ION Workflow

ION workflows are defined in Infor ION Desk. You must configure ION Desk and Infor CloudSuite CRM to use a Standard ION workflow.

Note: 
  • Only the users with the Administrator role can execute this process.
  • If SSO is enabled in the organization, Infor Ming.le tasks and notifications can be distributed.

    For example, a Sales Representative’s manager and the Account manager receive a review task. When one of them accepts or rejects the task, the Sales Representative receives a notification in Infor Ming.le and an email.

  • If SSO is not enabled in the organization, only email notifications are sent.

Prerequisites

  • A Document flow must be established in ION Desk between Infor CloudSuite CRM and the Infor Ming.le applications.
  • The Process.Workflow document must be added to the ION Desk connection point Document tab in which Infor CloudSuite CRM is set as Send from application and Infor Ming.le is set as Receive in application.
  • If the ION Workflow for a standard entity or custom entity does not have a standard Custom setting entry, a custom setting must be created using these values.
    Note: To create a new Custom setting, select Administration > Custom Setting. Right-click Custom Setting and select New Custom Setting.
