Stop Sending ICS Calendar Invite Files in Absence Notifications
Here’s how you can turn off the delivery of .ics file in the absence notification:
- In the Setup and Maintenance work area, click Search on the Tasks panel tab, search for and open the Manage Common Lookups task.
- On the Manage Common Lookupspage, search for and open the ANC_PROC_CONFIGS lookup.
- Add and enable a new lookup code, ANC_NO_ICS.
- Click Save and Close.
What to do next
If you had previously configured AbsencesApprovalTask task in BPM Worklist to disable all absence attachments in e-mail notification, you can now revert that change. To do so you need to first create the ANC_NO_ICS lookup code as described above, and then follow these steps:- In the Setup and Maintenance work area, click Search on the Tasks panel tab.
- Search for and open the Define Approval Management for Human Capital Management task list.
- Select the Manage Task Configurations for Human Capital Management from the task list.
- Select AbsencesApprovalsTask, and click Edit task in the BPM Worklist page.
- Click Notifications.
- Select the Send task attachments with email notifications check box.
- Click Save.
After you do this, approvers will start receiving attachments in their email for absence approvals without the calendar invite (.ics) file.
