Approval workflow based on location

[turben]

I need to create a approval script based on location of requester based on a variable in the request.

basically something like

IF location.requestor   = 014 then get approval from "014 -store approvers" group

If location.requestor = 001 then get approval from " 001 -store approvers" group

I wouldn't mind if I had to manually write the if statements out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Tim,

Select the approval group activity on the workflow with advanced checkbox set to true. Script will be

//Initialize an answer array to be returned
var answer = [];


if(current.location.requestor == 'VALUE1')
   {
   answer.push('PASS GROUP SYS_ID HERE');
}
if(current.location.requestor == 'VALUE2')
   {
   answer.push('PASS GROUP SYS_ID HERE');
}

Please make small change in the above code i.e instead of hardcoding sys_id, you can GlideRecord the group table and push the exact sys_id of the exact group

What I ultimately ended up doing is adding fields on the location table(EX: Equipment Approver). I made them as reference fields to the Sys_user_group table.

Then I made groups for each store. Each store's groups would be populated with the appropriate approvers.

so under location > "Equipment approvers" for store 014 I added the group "014- Equipment Approvers"

then in a workflow I added an approval group activity.

answer = current.variables.u_employee_location.u_equipment_approvers.toString();
