Select Automation

Automation provides organizations with the tools to execute certain processes, with no action required from the end user. Administrative users will have the ability to create automated actions for their processes to help improve quality, consistency, and productivity, while reducing risks. Automation processes use predetermined triggers and conditions to automate actions and will occur without any intervention by the user. Processes can be configured to handle a multitude of different activities, but two common scenarios would include:

• Apply templates automatically.
• Update or add tasks automatically.

The key areas of the application that are changing with this new functionality are in SPAdmin:

• An Automation folder has been added. It contains:
  • A new process manager.
  • A new monitoring manager.
• Several new permissions have been added.
