Symptom
- After initiating a workflow for an employee, a user proxies as every step of the approver and approves the workflow.
- In the workflow detail page, activity section, some steps are missing the "proxy as" information.
- The missing information results in an incomplete activity log for certain steps in the workflow.
Environment
SuccessFactors Employee Central
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to the user's profile and check the record for the workflow history.
- Then check activity section in the workflow details page.
- For both UIs, for certain steps the "on behalf of" proxy information is missing.
Cause
The missing "proxy as" information occurs when a proxy approver does mass approval. This behavior is expected, as mass approval does not record proxy information for individual steps.
Resolution
- If proxy approval is required, avoid using the mass approval functionality.
- Instead, approve workflows individually to ensure that the "proxy as" information is correctly recorded in the activity section.
