Alloy by IBM and SAP enables employees to submit leave and trip requests, and managers to act on those requests, within the context of the Alloy-enabled Notes user interface. Requests and approvals are managed and maintained in the SAP back-end.

Administrators and other deployers can create additional decision workflow applications to be available to users who are working in the Alloy-enabled Notes user interface, as described in the following help topics: 

 

Customizing to support additional SAP business decision workflows 
 
Configuring a custom decision workflow application 
 
Understanding the supplied custom form
 
Creating a custom form or agent 
 

To more fully describe the process of custom form creation, and the improved manner of storing forms in the Alloy Web services application rather than the Alloy-specific mail template, a new Alloy tech note, titled Creating a custom workflow store form in the Alloy Web services database, has been published. This tech note describes, in depth, how to create custom decision workflow forms to control the request and approval user interface provided to employee and manager users.
