Varicent Incentive Compensation Management Documentation

Workflow errors and reports

Workflow history is logged in two modules in Varicent Incentive Compensation Management (ICM). General workflow history is tracked in the Audit log, and node-specific history is tracked in Workflows.

If a workflow encounters an error, you can view the details of the error on the Errors tab in Workflows. You can view the error and identify the node that caused the error.

When an Action node encounters an error, such as when the next payee involved in the workflow cannot be determined, an error is recorded on the Action node errors page.

When an Alert node encounters an error, such as an invalid email address, an error is recorded on the Service node errors page.

For the workflow to advance, an administrator must intervene.

Viewing pending actions

In Varicent Incentive Compensation Management (ICM), you can view the action node that is involved in the current step of the workflow, and the payees who must perform an action, on the Pending Actions tab of Workflows. If the Scheduler service started after the workflow started, you can also see any process nodes that were unable to initiate in the workflow.

  1. In Workflows, open the workflow.

  2. Click the Pending Actions tab.

Rerunning a process node

In Varicent Incentive Compensation Management (ICM), if a process node was stopped because the Scheduler service was started after the workflow began, you can restart the process node.

Alternatively, you can choose to not run the process node and move on to the next step in the workflow.

  1. In Workflows, open the workflow.

  2. Click the Pending Actions tab.

  3. Place your cursor over the process node, click the ellipsis, and complete one of the following steps:

    • To rerun the Scheduler process, click Rerun Process.

    • To move to the next step in the workflow, click Move to next.

Forcing approval or rejection of pending actions

In Varicent Incentive Compensation Management (ICM), you can choose to force an approval or rejection of a pending action in a workflow.

  1. In Workflows, open the workflow.

  2. Click the Pending Actions tab.

  3. Place your cursor over the action, click the ellipsis, and complete one of the following steps:

    • Click Force Approve.

    • Click Force Reject.

Filtering workflow errors, pending actions, or history

In Varicent Incentive Compensation Management (ICM), you can filter errors, actions, and events on the Errors, Pending Actions, or History tabs in Workflows.

  1. In Workflows, open the workflow.

  2. Click the Errors, Pending Actions, or History tabs.

  3. In the header of a column, click the Filter icon.
