Exclude Targets from “Awaiting my Approval” metric

ActiveControl 8.0 introduced the Rules Engine, to allow more flexible and powerful rules around Approvals and Skipping within ActiveControl.

As some of our early-adopters have started to make use of the Approvals consumer withinthe Rules Engine to facilitate more flexible Approvals structures than was previously possible using the Transport Form [Group] field approvals concept, some reported a desire to be able to exclude certain Targets from the “Awaiting my Approval” metric in the Web UI.

Although these requests largely came from the perspective of improving the performance of load-time for the WebUI – this also has side-benefit for other customers want to have parallel targets in their Path for non-core functions (such as a holding Inbox for a Merge for a project path that will become live later)

To facilitate such requirements, ActiveControl 8.3 introduces the ability to exclude configurable Targets from the Awaiting my Approval metric.

Configuration Steps

Table /BTI/TE_EXCL_TAR can be maintained in the ActiveControl Domain Controller, to detail the targets/locations that should be excluded from the “Awaiting my Approval” metric in the Web UI.
