Workflow Signature Required Mail Message

The Notification System uses the Workflow Signature Required Mail message as a default template for e-mail notifications that require an electronic signature in the user's response. Users can only respond to such notifications through the Notification Details web page, where they can enter either a password-based signature or a certificate-based digital signature, depending on the notification's requirements, to sign the response. The notification template informs the recipient that a signature is required and that the response cannot be submitted through e-mail. Instead, the notification template directs the recipient to access the online version of the notification to submit a reponse.

Note: Electronic signatures are currently supported only for the version of Oracle Workflow embedded in Oracle Applications.

The Workflow Signature Required Mail message has the following message attributes. The values are drawn from the message definition associated with a notification activity.

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

BODY The text of the body defined in the message.

NOTIFICATION Required notification code used to identify the information in the notification. For notifications that require an electronic signature to be entered online, this notification code does not include the access key or node identifier information that would be needed for an e-mail response.

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

SUBJECT The subject line defined in the message.

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.

COMMENT Comments added by the sender or the forwarder.

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 Signature Required Mail 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:
