Journal Event Handler - Refresh Page

Hi ,

I used the journal event handler extensibility rule available on the forum in order to segregate the approval and post process. The issue that i am having is that once the user submits the journal or quick posts it the page does not refresh on its own and the user has to manually refresh the page to the see the journal status . Basically it should show the submitted status and approval and reject buttons highlighted but it only shows that after the user manually refreshes. Is there a way we can refresh the page after the message is displayed?

    Hi, the solution you mention was a workaround for previous versions. With 8.0, the following settings have been added to the workflow to use for that, so that the extensibility rule is no longer necessary:

    With this will one is able to prevent users from self-posting and self-approving journals.

    From the v8 release notes (8.0.0 Release Notes OneStream😞

    • Prevent Self-Approval and Self-Posting of Journals: You can prevent users from approving journals they have created or submitted and posting journals they have created, submitted, or approved with two new security properties on the Adjustment Workflow Profile. This feature disables the Quick Post functionality. Preventing self-approval and self-posting of journals supports the compliance of segregation of duties. (PF1-8371)

    The documentation can be found here: Profile Properties (onestream.com)

      Hi , so we are still on v6.6 and have a few months left until we go to v8 . 

      hence would like to see if there are any options to refresh the page after the message appears using the event handler.
