I am working on a request mechanism, an employee will generate a request and submit it then it should go to the department's head /manager's login access so he can view and approve or reject it.
I am confused on how to develop the mechanism,
Do I have to use groups?

or What
please help.... thanks

Just my opinion. You can create a view (which is a copy of a specific table), you can then set this so that only the dept head can see this when they are logged in.
You can make it so that they have to check a box or use a drop down list to show they have viewed it.
Based on your view query, you can have it only show new records, etc.
The Security Section in PHPRunner is where you can set permissions for different logins.
Hope this helps.

I got your point, but i am stuck in one place lets say I have 4 department heads and 4 employees work under each department head. So How am I going to create the group of each department so if Deparment A's employee is going to send a request it should only be viewed in the Department Head A's view.

Quick solution would be to create 5 groups:

  • User Group
  • Manager 1
  • Manager 2
  • Manager 3
  • Manager 4


Allocate a manager to each user then create 4 views with a different manager for each view and allow each manager access to one of them in their permissions
Hopefully this makes sense
