To Access Notifications from a Web Browser

1. If you are using Oracle Self-Service Web Applications, log on using the Oracle Self-Service Web Applications login page and choose the appropriate link to display the Notifications Worklist page. Skip to Step 1.

2. If you are not using Oracle Self-Service Web Applications, you can access your worklist in one of several ways.

To navigate directly to your current worklist of open notifications, enter:

 <webagent>/wfa_html.worklist[?orderkey=<orderkey>

      &status=<status>&user=<user>]

The portion of the Worklist URL in square brackets [] represents optional arguments that you can pass (by omitting the square brackets).

Replace the bracketed italicized text in these URLs as follows:

<webagent> represents the base URL of the web agent configured for Oracle Workflow in your Web server. See: Setting Global User Preferences.

<orderkey> represents the key with which to order the list of notifications. Valid values include PRIORITY, MESSAGE_TYPE, SUBJECT, BEGIN_DATE, DUE_DATE, END_DATE, and STATUS. If you leave <orderkey> null, the worklist will be ordered by PRIORITY, and then by BEGIN_DATE in descending order (the notifications with the highest priority and the most recent date will be displayed first).

<status> represents the status of the notifications you wish to display. Valid values include OPEN, CLOSED, CANCELED, and ERROR. If you leave <status> null, the URL will display notifications with a status of OPEN.

<user> represents the internal name of the role to query notifications for. You can only include this argument if you are logged in to the current web session as a role with workflow administrator privileges. If your role does not have administrator privileges or if you leave <user> blank, the URL displays notifications for your current role. See: Setting Global User Preferences.

To display a worklist of notifications that match specific search criteria, go to the Find Notifications web page by entering:

 <webagent>/wfa_html.find

You can also navigate to the Notifications Worklist or Find Notifications web pages from the Oracle Workflow home page. See: Accessing the Oracle Workflow Home Page.

For Oracle Applications users only, your system administrator can add the Notifications Worklist web page to your application by using the Oracle Applications function FND_FNDWFNOT. This function calls the web page wfa_html.worklist. An Oracle Applications System Administrator or Oracle Applications developer must add this function to the Navigate menu of a user's responsibility or call this function from an Oracle Applications form. You can then use the modified menu or form to navigate to the Notifications Worklist web page. See: Overview of Function Security, Oracle Applications System Administrator's Guide, Overview of Menus and Function Security, Oracle Applications Developer's Guide, Menus Window, Oracle Applications Developer's Guide, and Overview of Form Development Steps, Oracle Applications Developer's Guide.

3. If you are not using Oracle Self-Service Web Applications and you are accessing any of the Oracle Workflow URLs for the first time in your web browser session, you will be prompted for a valid username and password to log on.

4. Enter your username and password.

5. Choose OK. If you have made an error, you can clear the values and start over.

If you used the wfa_html.worklist URL, skip to the Notification Worklist section.
