Assignment Pattern Dialog

3.34 Assignment Pattern Dialog - FYI Page

Use to find out more about each assignment pattern, and to select and configure it.

When you specify an application server connection in the Application Server field, the assignment patterns are loaded into the Assignment Pattern list. When you select a pattern from the Assignment Pattern list, a description of your selection appears in the text box.

If you want the assignment pattern to consider all types of tasks, then select Use tasks of all types to evaluate pattern criteria. Otherwise, the pattern considers only this task type when determining the selected user. For example, if you want to assign a vacation request task to the least busy user, and you select Use tasks of all types to evaluate pattern criteria, then all assigned tasks are taken into consideration when determining the least busy user. If you do not select Use tasks of all types to evaluate pattern criteria, then only assigned vacation request tasks are considered when determining the least busy user.

A particular pattern may enable you to specify input parameters that control how the pattern is evaluated. For example the Most Productive pattern enables you to specify the time period (in days) over which the productivity is calculated. Input values can be static, or can be dynamically set by using an Xpath expression. Note that not all patterns accept parameters.
