Moving through the workflow: Routing Participants

CSD or DSSEM HRS/HRA (Initiates Action) then PM Team (Completes Action)

Optional Sub-process: Initiate JC/PN

*Selecting this option will create a separate action associated with the current one. The sub-process action will pre-populate information from the current action, reducing duplicate data entry.

Routing Options

The routing menu is used to move actions through the process and/or to send emails. The options and email recipients may change based on who has the action in their worklist.

When the action is in the ‘Initiation’ step:

  • Send Pckg Recd Email
  • Send Pckg Incomplete Email
  • Initiate JC/PN
  • Send to HRS
  • Send to PM Team
  • Cancel Action

When the action is in the ‘Review’ step:

  • Send to PM Team
  • Send to HRA
  • Initiate JC/PN
  • Cancel Action

When the action is in the ‘Pending Final Processing’ step:

  • Completed-Send Email Notification
  • Send to HRA
  • Send to HRS
  • Cancel Action

Communicating status and reminders: Email

Based on established SLA's and/or business rules, email notifications and reminders are automatically sent from WiTS throughout the completion of the workflow.

This workflow only generates an email if a user selects the option from the routing menu.
