Actions You Can Control

For a change type, you can define what actions participants can perform at each status in the workflow. You can also reorder the display sequence of actions that appear in the additional workflow controls table.

Based on your business requirements, you can allow or disallow actions for the following participant types:

• Creator
• Analyst
• Requester
• Other Users
• Portal User

Note:

• For tighter and enhanced security, set all actions for Other Users to No and instead add five specific roles for users who can access change types.

• If you configure an Assignee Role in the change type, it’s recommended that you add the selected role (to the Additional Workflow Controls table) to allow assignees take action on the changes.

• Except for the Analyst (assignee), all other users need the BPMWorkflowScmAdmin privilege to cancel, terminate, and restart change orders. It's recommended that you always specify the assignee role in addition to the assignee so that anyone in that role can cancel or terminate the change order in case the default assignee is unavailable.

Assign Permissions for Each Action

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the following:
   • Offering: Product Management
   • Functional Area: Change Orders
   • Task: Manage Change Order Types.
2. Select the change type for which you want to assign permissions and click Edit.
3. Click the Workflow tab and select a status.
   • The additional workflow controls appear in the side panel.
4. For each action, select the applicable permissions.
5. Click Save.

Reorder the Display Sequence of Actions

Here's how you reorder the display sequence of actions.

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, go to the following:
   • Offering: Product Management
   • Functional Area: Change Orders
   • Task: Manage Standard Lookups
2. In the Lookup Type field, search for ORA_EGO_CO_WORKFLOW_CONTROLS, and expand Lookup Codes.
3. In the Display Sequence column, you can reorder the sequence of actions.
4. Save your changes.
