A new feature named Workflow Super User has been introduced for both Workflow1.0 and Workflow2.0 in PaperSave 5.2. In the older version of PaperSave it was not possible to view and process the Workflow items that has been corrupted due to any error. But now in the new version of PaperSave, it is possible to view and process the Workflow Items that have been corrupted due to some errors.

 

With PaperSave 5.2, a normal Workflow User will be able to view the corrupted Workflow Items in red color in the Workflow Item grid but the user will not be able to process the respective corrupted Workflow Item. Whereas the Workflow User who has been made a Super User will be able to view and even process those items that are corrupted due to below mentioned two reasons:

 

First reason could be that Current Step of the Workflow item has not been assigned or it has been set to NULL in database due to an error and,
Second reason could be that Current Owner of the Workflow item has not been assigned or it has been set to NULL in database due to an error.

 

Corrupted Workflow items due to the above mentioned two reasons, will be displayed in Red color to the Workflow Super User when the user logs into PaperSave Workflow Window. Moreover, a normal user will not be able to view any options for processing the corrupted items whereas a Super User will be able to view different options for processing the corrupted items based on the selected Workflow Type.

 

Note:

You can set a Workflow Super User while adding or editing a Workflow User. Refer Add Workflow User section for more details.
The Workflow User that has been made a Workflow Super User will become an Administrator User for Workflow 2.0 and Queue Administrator for Workflow 1.0.
To view the corrupted workflow items, you need to make sure that no filter is set under Filter option and View My Items option is not selected.
