Manage Automated Requisition Processes

In the out-of-the-box notification system for requisitions, notification generation depends on manually changing the Status setting of the requisition. If the setting is not changed, a notification won't be sent. This is particularly true for new requisitions—if their status is not changed to "Open," recipients won't know that a new requisition has been created and needs to be filled.

You can avoid notification uncertainty by setting up an automated notification process that identifies different stages in a requisition's lifecycle. An automated process can issue a notification whenever a new stage is reached. Use the Requisition: Processes page to do this.

When you create a process from within a requisition, it will be available only for that requisition. When your administrator creates a global requisition process in the Administration Tool, the process is available for use by all requisitions. Global access rights are required to create a global process.

The Requisition: Processes page contains two links:

• Available. This is the default Requisition: Processes page. This page lists any processes that have already been created either for this requisition or for global use by any requisition. If a number of processes are available, you can use the filter section of the page to locate ones with certain parameters.
• Initiated. The Initiated page lists processes already started. Use this page to track the progress of processes that are scheduled to run or running.
