Implement project role based custom approval hierarchy using AME - part 3 - Q/A

Many, many questions come up when we explore AME, an unfamiliar subject for many business analyst/developers. Let me summarize here to get them out of the way instead of left them hanging:

Q & A

• Q: Does AME do everything I want?

A: It does everything you want as long as all you want is a list of approvers.

• Q: How does it generate the list of approvers?

A: There are some seeded lists based on employee supervisory relationship and HR positions. For our implementation, we have to code, about 400 lines.

• Q: I heard it has Alzheimer?

A: Not exactly. There is API to get historical list. And we sometimes run into trouble because of this -- details later.
