Adding Workflow Work Pages

Every component that uses Virtual Approver PeopleCode must include the pages WF_FUNCTIONS_01 and APPR_WRK_01. These special work pages load several important Workflow PeopleCode functions into memory. For example, if you’re using route controls, WF_FUNCTIONS_01 enables the system to determine which route control types are relevant for the event that you’re triggering.

To add work pages to a component:

1. In PeopleSoft Application Designer, open the component.

2. Add WF_FUNCTIONS_01 and APPR_WRK_01 to the list of pages in the component.

3. Save the component.

Note:

Usually, after adding a page to a component, you use PeopleTools Security to grant users access to the page. However, because WF_FUNCTIONS_01 and APPR_WRK_01 are work pages, you do not want users to see them or be able to access them.

Note:

The derived/work record APPR_FIELDS_WRK includes the field PREV_ROLEUSER, which is typically used to identify the previous approver if the process is recycled. If your approval process includes parallel paths, note that if the process recycles from the step above the parallel path, PREV_ROLEUSER is the user who approved at the highest path of the previous step. If this person recycles the process again, it will go through the lower path on the same step, then to the prior step. If the process recycles from a parallel step without an approval, then PREV_ROLEUSER is the user who approved the previous step, and the application must take care of the worklist on the other path of this step.
