How You Bypass Approvals for Specific Development Goal Subprocesses
As administrators, you can enable selective bypassing of approvals for development goals in Transaction Console. You can do this without modifying either the existing autoapproval or manual approval rules of the development goals rule set.
Your organization may want some development goal transactions to be committed immediately, but may want other transactions to go through the approval flow. For example, your organization may want to allow employees to add a development goal that their manager shared without any approval, but may want managers to approve other transactions. You enable bypass approvals for the subprocesses that don't need manager's approval.
Development Goal Subprocesses for Bypass
When you expand the Approve Development Goal rule in the Approval Rules tab of Transaction Console, you can see these subprocesses that you can enable for bypassing approvals:
-
Add Shared Colleague Goal: Employee adds a goal that's shared by a colleague to their development plan.
-
Add Shared Manager Goal: Employee adds a goal that's shared by their manager with them to their development plan.
-
Goal Share Action: Employee shares their development goal.
-
Manage Private Goals: Employee does any action such as add, update, copy, delete, complete, or make inactive or active on their private development goal.
Configure Selective Bypass of Approvals for Development Goal Subprocesses
Here's how you can selectively bypass approvals for some development goal transactions:
-
Go to
. -
Click the Approval Rules tab.
-
Search for and select the Approve Development Goal rule.
-
Expand the Approve Development Goal rule.
-
Enable Bypass Approvals for the subprocesses that you want to commit immediately.
After You Bypass Subprocesses
When you enable Bypass Approvals for any of the subprocesses, the corresponding development goal transaction is committed immediately. Users who did the subprocess action on their development goals won't see any approval messages nor receive notifications.
Development goal transactions that were in the draft state and pending approval state will continue through the approval flow and ignore the new partial bypass setting.
