Use the Configure Delegation Transaction page (HCDL_TXN_SETUP) to configure transactions for delegation.

This task is performed by delegation administrators after setting up delegation installation settings so that the transaction becomes available for delegation configuration.

Field or Control	Definition
Transaction Name	Displays the name of the transaction. If you are adding a new value, the system prompts you to select a value from the list of transactions that have been configured for workflow and selected for delegation initiation or approval on the Workflow Transactions page. Transactions that do not meet these criteria are not available for delegation configuration.
Transaction Type	Displays whether the configuration of the transaction is for delegation initiation or approval. The Delegation framework allows you to separate the task of initiating a transaction from approving the same transaction on someone's behalf. If you are adding a new value, the system prompts you to select either: `Initiate:` Delegator may delegate authority for a proxy to only initiate or submit a transaction on the delegator's behalf. `Approve:` Delegator may delegate authority for a proxy to only approve or deny a transaction on the delegator's behalf. Although both options are available for the selected transaction, the value that you select is valid only if you have selected the corresponding Delegate Initiation or Delegate Approvals check box on the Workflow Transactions page.
Description	Enter the description of the delegation transaction configuration. The system uses this description throughout the delegation pages when displaying related transactions. As a default, the system uses the concatenation of the transaction type and transaction name. We strongly recommend that you always assign a meaningful description.
Effective Date and Status	Enter the effective date of the transaction and whether it is active or inactive within the Delegation framework. By entering new effective-dated rows, you can enable or disable the transaction, as necessary. When entering a new row, the system uses the system date for the effective date by default.

Security

Use this group box to establish security access for proxies that are delegated authority to the given transaction. While a delegation transaction is active, the Delegation framework temporarily assigns the specified role to the proxy and grants the proxy access to the specified component.

Field or Control	Definition
Role	Select the role that contains the permission list for the relevant component where one processes the given transaction. Each transaction that you enable for delegation must have a unique role and associated permission list that are solely for delegation purposes. When a proxy's delegated authority becomes active, the system temporarily assigns this role to the proxy's user profile so that the proxy can access the transaction component while having delegation authority. When the proxy's delegation authority ends, the system deletes this role from the proxy's user profile. Thus, the proxy no longer has access to the transaction component. If an approval transaction requires that the approver be in a particular role, then the proxy who is delegated authority over that transaction must have the same role to approve the transaction. For example, if promotion approval requires that the approver be a manager, then the proxy who is delegated authority to approve promotions must also be a manager to successfully approve a promotion request. This field prompts from roles set up in the Roles component. Warning! You must use a unique role for each component that you associate with a delegated transaction. See Understanding Permission Lists and Roles for Delegation.
Component Name	Select the object name of the component where users can process requests for the given transaction. When a user creates a delegation request, the system checks the delegator's user profile to determine if the delegator has the authority to access this component. The system permits the creation of a delegation request for the transaction only if the delegator has security access.

Role

Select the role that contains the permission list for the relevant component where one processes the given transaction. Each transaction that you enable for delegation must have a unique role and associated permission list that are solely for delegation purposes.

When a proxy's delegated authority becomes active, the system temporarily assigns this role to the proxy's user profile so that the proxy can access the transaction component while having delegation authority. When the proxy's delegation authority ends, the system deletes this role from the proxy's user profile. Thus, the proxy no longer has access to the transaction component.

If an approval transaction requires that the approver be in a particular role, then the proxy who is delegated authority over that transaction must have the same role to approve the transaction. For example, if promotion approval requires that the approver be a manager, then the proxy who is delegated authority to approve promotions must also be a manager to successfully approve a promotion request.

This field prompts from roles set up in the Roles component.

Warning! You must use a unique role for each component that you associate with a delegated transaction.

See Understanding Permission Lists and Roles for Delegation.

Component Name

Select the object name of the component where users can process requests for the given transaction. When a user creates a delegation request, the system checks the delegator's user profile to determine if the delegator has the authority to access this component. The system permits the creation of a delegation request for the transaction only if the delegator has security access.

Optional Parameters

Use this group box when you need to create a link on the Delegation pages that will take the user to a product specific page to complete the delegation process.

Use the Display Link Label fields for retrieving the link labels from the message catalog.

Field or Control	Definition
Message Set Number and Message Number	Enter the number that will identify the label that should be used for the link that will appear on the Delegation Detail page. This label is maintained at the product specific Note: For more information about application-specific message numbers, refer to the application-specific documentation.

Use Delegation Event Handler Class fields to identify the product specific application classes.

Field or Control	Definition
Root Package ID	Select the application package that owns the component to which the person will be directed when he or she clicks the link in the Delegation pages.
Path	Enter the class that will take the user to the product specific component to finished the delegation process.
