Ortems ​​​​​​​SolutionUpdate ​​​​​​​

Goal

The functionality of validation/refusal of the contributor events has been introduced with Ortems 8 release 8.3 Fix 1927 Refresh6 (that should be available really soon).

Until now, planner could only accept events created by a user with a contributor profile (“contributor”). Thanks to the function, planner has now the possibility to refuse all or some of the collaborative actions.

Reminder: When a contributor validates its modification in the planning, an orange notification appears down left of the planner screen:

When clicking on it, a window is displayed allowing to visualize the details of every event created by the contributor:

Description

This window is made of 3 parts:

Click on one of the lines of part 1 allows to filter the displayed events on the right side (2 and 3).

Part 2 then displays every of the selected events in 1 and allows to accept, refuse or set them as “pending”.

Part 3 displays the characteristics of the active event (those who have been clicked in 2)

Then, in the following examples, if the planner wishes to validate the 1st event, refuse the 2nd and set as pending the 3rd, he will only have to act as below by clicking on the box in the column “Apply”:

There is only to click on « Apply » in order the actions being taken into account.

As the 3rd has been set to pending and if there’s no new event, a new click on the orange notification will show the following screen:

It should be noted that only the planner when he is the owner of the WIP will have access to this functionality and will be able to act on the events.

A planner with a restricted access and the contributors will have the following consultation only window:

How to enable it?

In order to make the most of this functionality, it is necessary to enable beforehand the following entry in the BUSINESS_CONFIG table: DISPLAY_EVENT_MANAGER by setting its value to 1.

It is also possible to enable it through the following SQL command to run from the “Update SQL” tab:

update BUSINESS_CONFIG set PARAM_VALUE = '1' where PARAM_ID = 'DISPLAY_EVENT_MANAGER' AND NOM_ENC ='ENCOURS';

Once this done, the function is enabled at the next opening of the planning by the planner.
