As a general practice, most federal personnel offices approve a participant's benefits elections, such as health benefit and TSP selections. If your agency's policies include this review or approval process, you can have Oracle workflow send a notification to the POI groupbox when employees enroll or update their benefit elections. The notification contains a link to the employee's confirmation page. After reviewing the elections, you can contact the participant to correct and resubmit the elections or manually override the changes in the professional user interface.

When you want to change the predefined function, you copy and rename the original process. By leaving the original process intact, you can refer to it and also use it as a basis for future upgrade. After you copy the process, use the Function window and the system administrator responsibility to change the notification setting and attach the function to your menu Federal Employee Self Service Benefits.
