Additional Fields

Depending on the workflow event handler you select, additional fields may be displayed as appropriate for the handler. See the help for "About Workflow Event Handlers."

Event handlers that are used to notify people usually display one or more of these fields:

  • In the Notify Users field, specify the user name to notify when the event occurs. You can specify multiple names separated by semicolons. This user must be defined on the Users form.
  • In the Customer Service Representative or Vendor Service Representative field, specify one user name to notify and request approval when the event occurs. This user must be defined on the Users form.
  • In the Email Users field, specify the email address to notify when the event occurs. You can specify multiple addresses separated by semicolons.

Some event handlers display fields where you must enter an amount or another type of value. For example, in the Check PO Amount vs. PO Limit event handler, you specify an amount, and any PO requested for greater than that amount triggers a notification. Specify the values in these fields with no formatting or currency symbols, for example, 50000.

For each of these additional fields, the contents of the field are stored in global constants. The global constant is created when you save the record, even if the workflow is not activated.
