Configuring Email Actions in the activity node

When the configuration file is updated, process developers can easily use Email Actions in User Action and HRTM User Action nodes.

  1. On the Notify tab, specify this information:
    Notify all users of work

    Select this check box to send an email to all tasks and users assigned to this work item. The email notifies the users that work has appeared in their Inbasket.

  2. Click Create the notification message. Specify this information:
    To

    This field is not editable. The default value is All users that are assigned work.

    Cc/Bcc

    Specify the users to copy in the email. A user that is added in the Bcc field does not appear as a recipient in the message.

    From

    The process first checks if the From field is filled with either a hard-coded email address or a variable.

    If the field is left blank, the process checks a system configuration property called mailFrom.

    See Configuring mail and timeout properties in the Infor Process Automation Administration Guide.

    If the From field and the mailFrom property are both blank, the mail is sent from user LPS.

    Subject

    Specify the subject of the notification email.

    Contents

    Specify the content of the notification email. If you want to load the content from a text document, click Browse.

    HTML content

    Select this check box to allow HTML content in the notification email.

    Allow action via email (requires HTML content)

    Select this check box to enable tasks and users to take action for work items from the notification email. This option requires the HTML content check box to be selected.

  3. Click OK.
  4. Optionally, add email action buttons to the Reminder #1 and Reminder #2 emails if they are appropriate for your application.
