Thank you Anna, I hope we can have this very much needed feature in next update.
BTW is it possible if we can configure a path for all of this content for another storage server so our portal server should be less occupied and projects/worjgroup data can be deleted from other storage server.

Hi,
We want to delete "workgroups / projects" which are to required anymore and this way we can have some space for other workgroup/projects.

Is it possible if we delete a workgroup from control panel or front end, all the related data that has been shared under that group like images, videos, other files under its sections like forum, blogs, images, videos. etc.

We must need this solution or any other alternate / help highly appreciated.

Hi,

We just updated the intranet and found some interface update as well.
The upfront or immediate change i noticed is in "Messages" the IM interface, Unfortunately could not find the group chat option which was very simple and very effective for group chat or group message sent..  Where to find this option now?

Where are the options in "Messages" like,
Outgoing
Incoming
Ban List
Business process

I am able to give the access to the group to see the log/detail of the BP.
But what about,

As you can see after giving first approval (by immediate supervisor) he forwarded for the additional approval (for the other director who is also included in "Leave approve authority group").
But after pressing the "accept tab" the Leave request re-appears and ask for "accept" & "refuse".
The supervisor pressed the accept again, then it goes to additional authority (you can see the BP log).
I also want to send the alert (IM with the link) automatically to the additional authority to notify that he needs to give additional leave approval.

You help is highly appreciated.

Sorry Ana but i am not able to find where to find the "BP Template settings"?

Here is the screen captures for your kind perusal and also find the BP  http://www.4shared.com/file/0eSURqc2/bp-2_SI.html after with my amendments,

As you can see after giving first approval (by immediate supervisor) he forwarded for the additional approval (for the other director who is also included in "Leave approve authority group").
But after pressing the "accept tab" the Leave request re-appears and ask for "accept" & "refuse".

I also want to send the alert (IM with the link) automatically to the additional authority to notify that he needs to give additional leave approval.

I would highly appreciate if you can amend this BP accordingly and send it back or advice steps/commands accordingly.

Your constant support is highly appreciated.

1) How to give access to "Business process log" to group persons allow to approve leave"?
2) How to add a link in IM message (like i want to add the link of the BP page)?
3) As i added (with your help) that only supervisor of the user will be able to get BP icon and get IM, Need to do the same for the "additional" approval user , in case if additional approval is needed (occasionally we need this additional confirmation from other directors and the other director can give the final approval).. how to do this?

Working! ....Though i have another problem, When user creates a leave request his/her supervisor gets the IM alert (You have a leave request).
But all of the supervisors (made a group of leave authorizers) having icon of bp icon indicating the "Todo" in there pages. Which obviously due to that all the supervisors are in a group and selected in "Person Allowed to leave approve leave"  in "Business Process Variable".

How can it be possible that only the Supervisor of that user have the BP icon and other supervisor should not see the leave request of other departments.

How it can be done, again step by step guidance is highly appreciated

Thank you for your constant support 

Thank you Ana, Its working so far (at the place i inserted the steps in current BP)When any user enters his leave request ilke "Start date" and "end Date".
can we have the "Comment" field/box so user can give a little description like why he is requesting a leave and what type of leave he intended to have.

Your step by step guidance highly appreciated.

I added a  Social Message just before "Approve Cycle",then

1)  I added  "action" "Select Employee"
2) In "Select Employee" parameter i entered,

• Type: I chose "Supervisor"
  
• For User: I chose "Select Employee" (from "Additional Value" menu)
  
• Supervisor Level: I chose "1 (immediate supervisor)"
  
• Reserved User: What should i choose here?
  
• Skip Absent: What should i choose here?
  

Please can you describe/guide in steps?

All i want is,
1) User create the leave request.
2) IM Notification of Request should reach to the user's supervisor.
3) In case Supervisor will refuse the request. then it will automatically send the notification to the user (as its already there in this BP).
4) In case of approval from Supervisor, he will forward the request for further approval from HR group .
5) Now HR group should get the notification to act on, either approve or refuse.

Looking for your help.

But what values/parameter should i choose in the followingin field "Sender" should i choose "Author" or employee ?

in field "Recipient" should i choose the supervisor group or what?

please help!

Hi,
What we want is,
As soon as any user creates a leave request through the business process the supervisor (authority to give leave) should get the IM notification. At the moment there is an icon appears on the status bar where as we need to have the IM through alert.

How to make it happen?

Thank you dear

I'm wondering how you managed to add a task to the daily plan of another user - that option is only available if you set yourself as the responsible person.

What i was working out another "practical" requirement/practice.
Lets say a Supervisor is occupied in a meeting or engaged something else and but he "verbally assign" a task to his subordinate and dont want to loose time as well. So user will create that particular task for him self as responsible person and supervisor as creator.

Unfortunately it can not be done through "working day tool", which is SAD. because after creating the task as above the editing functions of changing creator is not possible. Please advice if it is possible.

Hi Ana,

According to your Blog Post: http://www.bitrixsoft.com/company/blog/news/tasks-in-bitrix-intranet-110-easy-to-assign-easy-to-complete.php?commentId=31274#31274
I am assigning a task to my subordinate and checked  
"Add to Daily plan" ,  
"require approval to close task" 
where as "Include Task in Efficiency Report" is grayed. 

Subordinate start the task and after some time task is closed, BUT 
The "Time Spent" is still "0h:0m" 

I believe (want) the time should be record automatically as soon as subordinate start the task and close the task,   

or  

should user have to enter the time spent manually (which is not good practice)?

What we want is "templates" of BP, which seems available in the bizpace version and we want to choose from the list like 2 state approval, single state approval etc, where as by default only two BP are available for use "Leave request" "Business trip" in service menu.
How can we use the other pre build or template BP.
guidance in steps highly appreciated.

Hi Ana,

there,There are two business process available in bizpace installation,
I am trying to install processes from the given templates but not able to do that, What i am doing is.
1) Crated an info block, and set it to Business process.
2) Now tried to add a process from the templates like single approval, read document etc.
3) There are two options in extreme column (under named run) "Create" "update".
4) I chose create.
5) BTW i am able to see the BP here.
6) Now i can see i newly created BP in service menu.
7) BUT as soon i choose the BP from the list the menu pops up as its requiring all the input for a new process and not able to see the process i chose from the given templates.

* BTW i tried/tested the on online demo as well as our on intranet.
What am i missing here?

Hi Ana,Thank you for the link and indeed report wizard is great,
As a matter of fact we are looking for a "Gant Chart/timeline View" of the "All the current project" wit their status without going in depth of any report or specific project.

Hi,
Our directors want to see the progress all the running projects in a single page like dashboard, elements like start, mile stones, due date, delivery, projects on hold) 

Unfortunately could not find this features as its very difficult and time consuming to go and see every project individually.

Any solution?

Got it.. Something is better then nothing.Actually we are an animation studio and exchange/share previews like Jpeg file of designs and mp4/flv video files for comment feedback from the supervisor/director.
So ideally we want to embed images or videos (ideally drag and drop, like in software named confluence) as like forum and director/supervisor/team can see the images/video on the page in actual size and don't need to clink the links to see the image/video.

I hope i am able to clarify our need.

There is a good feature of comment on any task, but if can be elaborated like the option in microblog and forum, Ability to edit, delete, so communication and giving feedback on this particular task.It will be GREAAAAAATTTTTTTTT and most wanted feature for us.

Should we expect it in future release.

Hi,This is such a great idea of having a "Link Directory" in services menu but its not effective enough without participation of the others. 
As a matter of fact our team share number of links (intranet as well as internet) on daily basis.
We ned to give access to the entire company so they can add links to the pre-specified category or they can create category , But without giving them the access to the control panel.. 
Otherwise its is very confusing for them to understand the back end and its not as simple as it should be something in frot end for any non-technical person.

Please help, How to do this?

Hi Ana,Thank you for your reply, for sure will do that.

Hi,
In the given Leave request business process there are only two date entries  e.g leave From "start date to "end date"... Where is there should be another entry of "Leave Type"
So whenever an employee send the request he could also mention/enter the "Leave type" so as soon as his leave gets approved his entry in absence chart can be record with the Leave type.

Please can someone guide or post tutorial how to add this function as i am a new bee.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ana,
We also wanted to know,
How can user will define his "Absence type" like casual, sick etc.
Because there is no entry in the default given absence request process, and we want to know that what kind if leave user requesting for, or if he enter the absence in his calendar, Please advice.

Ohhhhh nooooooooo .... It seems like my half of the queries reaching to dead end
Anyhow, Your support is highly appreciated!
