Workflow View From UI Message

Oracle Workflow provides the Workflow View From UI message as an alternative template that you can optionally use for open response-required notifications whose content you do not want to send in e-mail. An e-mail message generated from this template will still include the header attributes for the notification, as well as any history of actions on the notification. However, the e-mail message will exclude the message body for the notification and will not enable responses through e-mail. Users can only view and respond to such notifications through the Notification Details web page.

The notification template informs the recipient that the notification is best viewed from the web page and directs the recipient to access the online version of the notification.

The Workflow View From UI message has the following message attributes. The values are drawn from the message definition associated with a notification activity.

START_DATE The date the message is sent.

TO The role the notification is sent to; the performer.

SUBJECT The subject line defined in the message.

COMMENT Comments added by the sender or the forwarder.

PRIORITY The priority of the notification message.

DUE_DATE The date by which a response is required, specified in the notification activity.

NOTIFICATION Required notification code used to identify the information in the notification.

SENDER The name of the sender of the message, as displayed in the From column in the Worklist. This attribute is not currently used.

HEADER Standard header attributes and any custom header attributes defined to hold key information for the message. See: Header Attributes, Oracle Workflow Developer's Guide.

HISTORY The history of actions on the notification.

TIMEZONE The time zone of the dates and times displayed in the notification, based on the time zone of the server from which the notification was sent. This attribute is not currently used.

You can customize the boilerplate text that appears in the body of the Workflow View From UI message, where attributes preceded by an ampersand (&) are token substituted with runtime values when the notification is sent.

The boilerplate text for a plain text message body is as follows:
