How Are To Do Entries Created?

A To Do Entry may be created in the following ways:

• A background process can create To Do Entries.

• An algorithm can create entries of a given type. Because the use of algorithms is entirely dependent on how you configure the control tables, the number of types of such entries is indeterminate.

• A user can create entries of To Do types that have a Manual usage. Refer to To Do Entries Created Manually for information about setting up manual To Do types.

For any base product process that includes logic to create a To Do entry, the system supplies a sample To Do type that may be used. Although the To Do types provided by the product are system data, the following information related to each To Do type may be customized for an implementation and is not overwritten during an upgrade:

• The creation process. If the To Do is created by a background process where the background process is referenced on a To Do type. Refer to To Do Entries Created By Background Processes for more information.

• The routing process. Refer to To Do Entries May Be Routed Out of the System for more information.

• The priority. Refer to To Do Type - Main for more information.

• The roles that may be associated with the To Do type. Refer to To Do Entries Reference a Role for more information.

• The message override information. Refer to Suppress the Creation of the To Do Entry, Adjusting the To Do Role and What Happens When You Work A To Do Entry for more information.
