Workflow and Email Notification

When you initiate a task, Identity Manager submits the task for processing and displays an acknowledgement message similar to this:

Task has been submitted for processing on Friday, August 10, 2007. The status is complete.

However, if the task is under workflow control and requires approval, the message is similar to this:

Task has been submitted for processing on Friday, August 10, 2007. The status is pending.

In addition to on-screen messages, Identity Manager can automatically generate email notifications when:

• An event or task requiring approval or rejection by a workflow approver is pending.
• An approver approves an event or task.
• An approver rejects an event or task.
• An event or task is completed.
