Using JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow Recipients

An integral part of creating an Information or Action task involves determining to whom a message is sent. To define the recipient parameters, you need data items in either the key or additional data structure to hold the values that you pass into the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow process. You can assign literal values or map parameters that originate in an application, business function, or other object. The Start Process system function allows you to map a literal value, a variable, or a value from a form's data structure or business view to the data items in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow data structures. You can configure the event rules of an Information or Action task to route messages to these types of recipients:

• Members of a distribution list

  JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow uses distribution lists to group users into categories for message routing purposes. You can further define how messages are routed to members of a distribution list by assigning routing criteria such as threshold values, escalation, and other conditional routing options.

  See Distribution Lists Overview.

  See Setting Up Distribution Lists.

• Single recipient

  For JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow processes that are designed to send a message to a single user, you select the <AB number> parameter and assign it a value from one of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne workflow data structures.

Note: Workflow processes that were designed prior to release 8.94 use Recipient Rules and other configuration options to send messages to recipients. See JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Workflow Processes Developed Before Release 8.94 for further details.
