Is "Supervisor" the same as "Reports to"?

Kristjan Geir Mathiesen

Hi once again.

Ok, easy one: I´m working in Process Author (see left side of picture) and want to set the criteria to 50m AND that "reports to" (field from the user profile) is a certain person.  Now, the field "reports to" isn´t in the drop down box. Only "current user," "supervisor," and "record owner." So, is "supervisor" in fact the same person as "reports to"?

And another one related: Is "record owner" the one who created the record?

I´m assuming that since there is a choice for "current user" in Process Author...

Thanks

KGM

P.s. my screen "handwriting" sucks...

    Kristjan,

    You are correct, Supervisor is the same as "Reports to".  The current user will be the user who triggered the Process Definition and the record owner is the user who is in the "Assigned To" field.

    Hope that helps,

    Lori

    Just to reinforce what Lori F said, the User types in Process Author are documented under the "Static Assignment" options for Process Definitions:

    http://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Versions/7.6/Ent/Administration_Guide/Process_Author/Process_Definitions…

    • Current User : The Current User refers to the last process user who has been defined in the process definition. If no process user has been previously defined, the Current User will be the user who is in the Assigned To field of the targeted Sugar record.
    • Record Owner : The Record Owner is the user who is in the Assigned To field of the targeted Sugar record.
    • Supervisor : When selected, the supervisor of the user who is in the Assigned To field of the targeted Sugar record will be prompted to execute this process activity. This relationship must be configured in the "Reports to" field of the Users module.
