Overview of BPM Workflow Notifications

As the business object progresses through the workflow, several notifications are sent out. Notifications inform participants about the occurrence of different events and enable them take actions.

Individual notifications are sent for each row in the definition workflow steps.

If an assignee is present for multiple associations across items for a single step, then:

• The assignee receives notification for each task.

• Each task can be delegated as required.

• After the step sequence is completed, notification for the next step is sent.

If the business object fails in a scheduled state, a consolidated notification is sent for all the failed lines.

The following notifications are sent: a detailed notification, and a task entry worklist table. The detailed notification displays the basic header attributes and assigned items. In an approval notification, an approver can enter comments and add attachments. The task entry notification is a one line entry in the worklist table of the item work area; you can't open it in a separate window.
