Worklist Pipeline

The Worklist Pipeline is a special workflow inquiry page that displays the transactions associated with a current approver or approval role worklist, giving the approver with sufficient approval authority the ability to bypass approvals on lower approval routings for a work item. Access to the page is not direct but from other workflow pages.

The page displays all work items that include the worklist as a future step in the approval process, excluding the current and parallel approval work items since they are part of the worklist page.

There are a number of actions available from the grid menu and row menu. Those actions that can only apply to a single transaction are only listed in the row menu.

Bypass All Approvals: This action allows the transaction(s) to be processed to final without needing to go through the approval process. Note: This action is disabled if you navigate to this page after selecting an approval role.
Bypass Prior Approvals: This action will apply a bypass to each lower level approval, moving the task to the approval level of the approver. This action does not bypass parallel approvals or higher level approvals. Note: This link is disabled when you navigate to this page after selecting an approval role.
Bypass Prior Approvals and Take: This action will apply a bypass to the prior approvals and remove the work item from approval role worklist and move it to the approver’s worklist. Note: This link is disabled when you navigate to this page after selecting the User Worklist.
Track Work in Progress: A transition to the Track Work in Progress page to view past, present, and future workflow activity. Refer to the “Track Work in Progress” topic in the Transactions User Guide for more information.
