Using a Standard ION Workflow

ION workflows are defined in Infor ION Desk. You must configure ION Desk and Infor CRM SLX 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 OS Portal (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 OS Portal (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 CRM and the Infor OS Portal (Ming.le) applications.
  • The Process.Workflow document must be added to the ION Desk connection point Document tab in which Infor CRM is set as Send from application and Infor OS Portal (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.

Specify these values:

Field Name Description
Category Outbound Message

Data Value Related parent entity name (not display name).

Leave blank if the entity specified in key is to be used as a parent. For example, Account entity.

For example, specify these values to create a new custom setting for Tickets:
