#FROM_ROLE Attribute

You can use a special message attribute with the internal name #FROM_ROLE to specify the role that is the source of a notification. For example, if you have a notification that informs an approver that a requisition was submitted, you can set the requisition preparer as the From Role for the message.

If a notification with this attribute is reassigned through the Worklist web pages, Oracle Workflow automatically sets the From Role to the previous recipient when sending the notification to the new recipient.

The From Role for each notification is displayed in the Worklist web page and in e-mail notifications to give users additional information for reviewing and responding to the notifications. Additionally, the Find Notifications page, administrator Notification Search page, and Personal Worklist let you search for notifications based on the From Role.

The #FROM_ROLE attribute must be of type role and must have a source of Send. The display name and description of the attribute should both be From Role. You should specify an item type attribute as the value for the #FROM_ROLE attribute and include logic in your workflow process that dynamically sets that item type attribute to the role you want at runtime.
