Add a process instance to an Outlook calendar
If you are running Lombardi Process Portal on Windows with Microsoft
Outlook, you can add a process instance to your Outlook calendar so that the
process instance becomes an appointment in your calendar. This enables you to
monitor process instance due dates in your Outlook client. For example, if you
need to approve expense reports and each of the incoming reports is represented
by a process instance, you can create an appointment for each incoming report
so that you receive a reminder when each instance is nearing its due date.
- From My Tasks > Inbox , click on the name of the process instance that you want to add to your Outlook calendar.
- From the process instance details page, click the
Add to Calendar icon on the toolbar as shown in
the following image.
-
Download the calendar file (getCalendar.do) when prompted by your Web browser.
-
A new appointment is created in the Microsoft Outlook client. The appointment name and subject name are the same as the name of the process instance.
You can specify a start time and end time for the Outlook reminder. The appointment message field includes a hyperlink that takes you directly to the process instance in Lombardi Process Portal when the instance is nearing its due date. Save and close the reminder when you are finished.
