Specifying details for a notification element

In the Notification tab, specify this information:
- Name
- Specify a name for the notification. This name is displayed in the workflow model.
- Description
- Specify a description for this workflow step.
- Message
- Specify a message that the end user sees as notification. You can edit this message in the same way as the task message.
- See Specifying task properties.
- Show notes from previous steps
- By default, this check box is not selected. The notification does not contain notes. If you select this check box, the notification does contain all notes from all previous tasks in the workflow.
- Expires after
- By default, a notification never expires. To avoid that too many notifications remain open if the users forget to close them, select the Expires after check box. Here you can specify an interval of time between one hour and 999 days. If the notification was not closed after this interval of time since it was created, the notification status is automatically set to Done. Expired notifications are automatically removed from the end user UI.
-
In the Content tab, select the parameters, drillbacks, or structures that must be displayed in the notification details.
The usage of notification parameters is similar to task parameters. For notifications, parameters are always read-only.
-
In the Distribution tab, specify the distribution list for the notification.
All users in the distribution list receive a notification simultaneously. To edit the distribution list, follow the same instructions as for a task distribution.
If the distribution list does not contain valid Infor Ming.le users when the notification is created, the notification status is automatically set to done.
