phones Uses room square footage assigned to an

organization for space

Request/Update Roles


List Roles for Person/Organization


Telecommunication Workflow

Division Telecommunications Coordinators (DTCs) can reassign a phone to another Division’s personnel

Workflow sends email and workflow request to receiving division’s DTC; they approve or disapprove

Sender informed of results


Space Workflow

Division Space Coordinator (DSCs) can change Room function, no approval required Other room parameters, SAM must approve Organization assignments within division, no approval

required Assignment to another division, requires approval of

recipient and SAM Return to unassigned space, requires 90-day wait, walk

down, and approval by SAM

Division Space Coordinator can request unassigned space


Applications

Selection screens Only DTCs can use this application Anyone can use space app; DSCs can make

changes

Display and update of assignments

Workflow review and update


Usability Issue

Two specific methods of updating Reassign blocks of rooms to organizations Change the assignment of one room

Two methods for updating Choose a set of rooms with checkbox Select a room and update it only


Development Methods

No SQL to SAP tables Remote Function Calls used Alternative Methods for Development,

main ones used are CGIs SAP Internet Transaction Server


Testing Environment

Standard landscape Development Quality Assurance Production

Web pages also follow landscape Use system/directories for determining

which landscape


JavaScript for Dropdown Synchronization

Two dropdown lists need to stay synchronized

When item is changed in the first one, the second one needs to change

When the user leaves the screen using the browser and comes back the two lists must be synchronized Of course, Netscape 4.7 and IE/Netscape 7

treat it differently
