Are Workflows Cross-clients

Former Member — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 10:39:54 GMT

Hi Experts,

In my project. There are three different clients (on same server) for three countries.ie, Client - 620 for US, 820 for UK and 920 for Hong Kong. They are using standard Workflow 20000077 for PR Approval. I have received requirement for UK to add one more mail step in workflow. I modified the standard and added the step in client 820. But when i opened 620 and 920. The added mail step in visible in all clients.

My doubt is Are worklows Cross-clients??

Then why is the change getting reflected in all clients? Is it because im modifying standard?

Probably it is because all the clients acess a common data base. As far as my knowledge goes, there is no prosess in the work flow steps to assign clients only we can assign the authority of a perticular activity for a perticular user in a client( Agent assignment ).

HI tejal,

Workflow are generallly client independent, however, some of the configuration associate with them is client dependent.

Customer tasks are client-dependent and have a period of validity. They are therefore integrated in organizational management with its planning and time limitation options.

Standard tasks are client-independent and are defined without a period of validity.

Best of luck,

Thanks for Quick Response Experts.

But does this mean that if im creating an customized workflow, then it will be client dependent?

Or shall i add some steps for checks in standard workflow, which im using, for checking the clients?
