Re: Escalation to update all of my people records

If memory serves .

1.   Unhide (reveal?) the field

2.   Use a Mod-All to set it to a trigger value (i.e. Trigger)

3.   Use an escalation that runs if YourField = Trigger than set
YourField to  company/department/organization

 

Even if you forget to turn off the escalation, it will calculate each record
only once

** 

Good evening all,

 

As I get older I forget the simple things.

 

I created a filter to update a hidden field on the people form with a
combination of company/department/organization, for a license tracker I am
evaluating.

 

Well I thought (again old age) that if I did a modify all from the user tool
the filter would fire. I forgot that filters don't fire when using a modify
all from the user tool.

 

So I need to ask, what is the easiest escalation that I can  create to
update all of my enabled user records?

 

An old man thanks you,

 

Howard
