Business Processes in Company Logs and Navigation Nodes

The Company Logs grouping node is in Company Workspace. You can use the Company Logs grouping node to access the business processes (BPs) that you have permission for.

Depending on your access, there will be multiple navigation grouping nodes for each <shell name> tab. For example, in the Financial Analysis grouping node, you might have log-based access for Cost Sheet, Cash Flow, and Funding Sheet.

You can use the enhanced Search option (described in the table) in the following logs and nodes:

Company Logs
Tasks log
Drafts log
Any node that tracks BPs that you have access to, such as Budget Management, Change Management, Project Management, and so on.
Line Item Consolidation page
BP Picker
BP Data Picker
Query-Based Tab (QBT)
Bidder Log

To access the BPs in the Company Logs grouping node:

Go to the Company Workspace tab and switch to User mode.
In the left Navigator, select Company Logs to expand it and see the business processes.

To access the BPs in the various grouping nodes:

Go to a project/shell and switch to User mode.
In the left Navigator, select the applicable navigation grouping node to expand it and see the business processes.

The following explains the log elements in both the Company Logs and the various project/shell-based Navigation Node grouping nodes. The logs in each grouping node are divided into two panes, left and right.

The toolbar options and columns on the left pane are:

Option	Description
Create	To create a record and subsequently add attachments, add comments, and include links to other records.
Actions	To perform the following actions: Import Export CSV Template Export Microsoft Excel Template Create From Template Bulk Edit Print Transfer Ownership Terminate Record Note: The options that are available depend on the administrative setup and user permissions.
View	The following is a list of the views currently defined and available for selection. Two additional configuration options are provided: All Records (default) Records Created by Me Records Received by Me Records Created and received by Me Records from My Company Create New View Manage Views
Edit View	To edit the current view.
Refresh	To refresh the contents of the log.
Print	To print or export the contents of the log.
Search	Lets you search the log for a specific field or combination of fields, which filters the BP records based on the selected criteria. In addition to completing the applicable fields that are displayed in the Search window, you can use the wildcard characters percent (%) and underscore (_) to refine your search. The percent character represents any number of characters, including letters, spaces, numbers and so on; the search returns all results that contain the search string. The underscore character represents one character. For example, in a Title field, enter Co%ts. The list of results contains all records that include a word that starts with Co and ends with ts.
Find on Page	Lets you find items on the displayed page.
<BP-specific> Help	Lets you access the specific help for the selected BP.

The tabs on the right pane are as follows. The information in each tab corresponds to the record that has been selected.

Note: Displaying a tab depends on the business process type, such as Workflow or non-Workflow.

Tab	Description
Record Details	Lets you see the details of the record that is selected on the left page. The record details seen depend on the form that you have access to.
Workflow Progress	Lets you see the details of the workflow progress which includes: View Graphic Title Record Number Current Step BP Setup Used Assignee Reassignments? Step Name Assignee Company: This column displays the assignee's company name. For Partner users, this column shows the assignee's Partner Company name. Status Action Completion Date You have the option of filtering (Filter By) the information displayed on the workflow progress.
Attachments	Lets you access the record attachment, if available. For each attachment, you can click the gear menu ( ) to conduct the following: Open Download
Integration Log	This tab displays only if a connection with Oracle Integration is set up and enabled for workflow BPs. It displays a history of workflow BPs with the following information: Date Workflow Step Action User Company ID Status Started Finished Comments Note: When a Workflow BP is created, it displays the status as Initiated. Subsequent updates to the Status, Started, Finished, and Comments fields are based on the APIs invoked in the Oracle Integration recipes for the Workflow BP. This tab is also available for workflow business processes in the Master Log -Business Processes node of the Navigator.

Additional View Form Accessibility in Record and Log Previews

When you view the record preview and the record details upon opening a record, the content seen depends on the form that you have access to. Your administrator may have set up restrictions to view certain form data and may have given access to a View form. This View form may be different from the View form associated with the workflow.

If you have View restrictions for multiple View forms, the first View form from the View Forms list in the BP setup is displayed. If you do not have View restrictions, the Step form is displayed. This is applicable for Record Owners, Record Editors, and Step Editors.

If the end form is an Action form and you have View restrictions, the applicable View form is displayed. However, if you do not have View restrictions, the Action form is displayed.

If the end form is a View form and you have View restrictions, the Restricted View form is displayed. However, if you do not have View restrictions, the View form that is part of the end step of the workflow is displayed.

Record Content Impacted by Additional View Form Accessibility

The additional accessibility of View forms impacts all areas where you can open and view record content. These areas are listed below:

Workflow BP and Tasks logs
Reference Records
Linked Records
Dashboard Drill Down Records
BP Picker, BP Data Picker, and BP Creator links
Permission-driven Data Sources
Cost Sheet, Funding Sheet, SOV Sheet, and so on
Email Notifications
- If you have View restrictions for the View form in the BP setup, the email has the data elements that are part of the View form. In the case of a task assignee, if the previous checkbox is not selected, the email has the Step form elements.
HTML and PDF Print views
- If you have access to a Restricted View form, the View form data is displayed.
I-Step Records
Mobile applications
Note: Additional accessibility is not applicable for Master logs because the BP setup is done at the project/shell levels.

When user is an I-Step Assignee, and the record is in the I-Step (initiation step), the existing form will be seen as read-only end-form for Workflow BP records and read-only action-form for Non-workflow BP records.

If the user is an I-Step Assignee but not the creator of the record, and the record is in post-creation step, the restricted view form will be seen if the I-step Assignee has access to restricted view forms.

When I-Step Assignees have access to restricted view form, the following rules apply:

User Name	User Role	Record Status	Form The form that will be seen upon opening the record, as well as in the Logs (BP log) Preview.
User A	I-Step Assignee	Initiation Step	Read-only Action Form/End Form
User B	I-Step Assignee-Creator	Creation Step	Action Form
User C	I-Step Assignee-Not a Creator	Creation Step	Restricted View Form
