Using Timeout Worklists

Items in your worklist contain built-in timeout parameters. Depending on how your organization handles timeout processing, you may receive an email or another worklist entry if you have not worked an item by the time it times out.

When you open a timeout notification in your worklist, you are transferred to the Worklist Timeout Data page. You can also open this page by selecting PeopleTools > Workflow > Monitor Worklist > Update Timeout Data.

On this page, you can view information about the timed-out work item, enter a comment about the item, or reassign the item to another user.
