...
- An administrator creates a Pending Changes Scheduled Tasks record that defines when pending changes will be processed (for example, every night).
- Specify the Update Pending Changes PF process flow in Process Flow link box.
- There are no Process Flow Inputs required for this Process Flow.
- Specify other information on the Scheduled Task as necessary. See Creating a Scheduled Task for more information about creating scheduled tasks.
- Users save pending changes as necessary, specifying a future date and time for when the changes should be applied to the record. When a user saves a change as pending, Aptify creates an Approved Pending Changes record. The Pending Changes record is accessible to administrators in the Framework application.
- Note that Pending Changes records are automatically generated and cannot be modified directly. See "About the Pending Changes Form" in Admin Guide for for more information on this form.
- Also note that when a pending change is in affect for a record, the Alerts icon turns red on the record's toolbar to notify all users that a pending change exists for the record. See Creating Alert Types for more information about this service.
- At the specified date and time, the Scheduled Task creates a Process Flow Runs record that fires the Update Pending Changes PF process flow.
- The assigned Application Server executes the Process Flow Runs record to apply changes from any Pending Changes records with an Approved status that have a scheduled date in the past. After the changes have been applied, the Pending Changes record's Status is set to Posted automatically.
