Workflow Summary Mail (HTML) Message

In Oracle Applications, the Notification System uses the Workflow Summary Mail (HTML) message by default as a template to send a summary of workflow notifications to users and roles that have their notification preference set to 'SUMMARY' or 'SUMHTML' in the Oracle Workflow directory service. The Workflow Summary Mail (HTML) message summarizes all currently open notifications for a given user/role. The HTML-formatted message body also provides a link to the Worklist web page as well as links to each notification in the Notification Details web page.

Note: The 'SUMHTML' notification preference is currently supported only for the version of Oracle Workflow embedded in Oracle Applications.

Note: In standalone Oracle Workflow, the Notification System uses the Workflow Summary Mail message as the template for summary notifications. See: Workflow Summary Mail Message.

The Workflow Summary Mail (HTML) message has the following message attributes, with values that are drawn from the message definition associated with the open notification activity:

SUMMARY Summary report.
USER_NAME The user/role the notification summary is sent to; the performer.
SYSDATE The current date.
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.
The plain text message body is used for notifications sent to performers with a notification preference of 'SUMMARY'. The boilerplate text for the plain text message body is as follows:

&TIMEZONE
&SUMMARY

The HTML-formatted message body is used for notifications sent to performers with a notification preference of 'SUMHTML'. The boilerplate text for the HTML-formatted message body is as follows:

<HTML><HEAD>
<STYLE>
