Using the BuyerWorkCenter - My Work

The My Work pagelet of the Buyer WorkCenter displays work items assigned to the user and, depending on setup, the number of transactions or items. After the user completes transactions, the user manually refreshes the pagelet to update the number of transactions or items shown in parentheses next to the My Work links.

Existing Worklist notifications as well as the Alert/Warning Notification processes can be registered into the My Work pagelet as the type of Worklist and Alert/Warning Notification, respectively.

Users can modify filters for several of these pagelet entries, however, some links in the My Work pagelet are Workflow entries. Workflow entries are displayed on the standard Worklist entry page.

The following table lists the worklists that can be registered into the My Work pagelet.
