Configuring Approval Server to work with flowcharts


As an administrator, you can configure the Approval Server to work with flowcharts. By configuring this option, users can see the approval requests in a flowchart, giving them a better perspective of the approval steps.

To configure the Approval Server to work with flowcharts:

  1. In the AR System server Administration Console, select System > General > Server Information.
  2. On the Advanced tab, set the Default Web Path to http://ARSystemServerName:8080/arsys.
    For more information, see Configuring-AR-System-servers.
  3. On the Basic tab of the AP:Process Definition form, select a value from the Generate Preview list.
  4. On the General Settings page of the Mid Tier Configuration Tool:
    1. Set Data Visualization Module Server to the server where the Visualizer plug-in is installed.
    2. Select the appropriate authentication server.
      For more information, see Set-up-external-authentication-options-and-aliases.

The flowchart view is compatible with Mid Tier. You can use Mid Tier to display the flowchart view for an approval request.

Important

The Data Visualization Field (DVF) is not visible in Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Apple MacOS 10.4.11 browser because of a limitation with the browser.
