Set Up Profile Options for Configurable Workflow Notifications
You configure profile options to specify the HCM applications that use the BI Publisher reports rather than the default FYI and approval notifications. To use BI Publisher reports rather than the default workflow and approval notifications, you need to:
-
Configure profile options for email and in-app notifications to specify the HCM applications that use the BI Publisher reports.
-
Download and install the Template Builder for Word add-in.
You configure profile options using the Manage Administrator Profile Values task in the Setup and Maintenance work area. The application will always first check individual product profile values and only then the family-level profile option. If both are specified then the product-level profile option takes precedence over the family-level profile option. Let's look how to configure these profile options
-
In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.
-
Search and select the profile option.
-
Click New to add a new profile value.
-
Select profile level as Site.
-
Enter True in the Profile Value field
-
Click Save and Close.
