DEVELOPERS FORUM - Unique User from a given Identity

Pradeep_Thakar - Tuesday, August 2, 2011 5:11 AM:

I have a workflow map configured where activity promotion is done on identities. While i actually promote a workflow, i select a User to whom i wish to assign the activity. However, all Users in the given Identity list can see the workflow item in their Inbasket. It needs to be visible/assigned to the unique User i selected while promoting the workflow.

Hi Pradeep,

If you use the "owned_by_id" of the workflow Item you can do this.

Set the "owned_by_id" to the person you actually want to do the work.

Set the assignment of the activity to "Owner" and the workflow will progress the way you want.

Only the "Owner" will see the workflow in their inbasket.

If you need several people in different steps to see it then it will get more complicated but there are ways to do it.

Have a look at the demo database (not demo system) on the Project site. You will need Release 9.2 not 9.3 as that one hasn't been upgraded. Have a look at the "PLMe" workflows. They have some code and special identities that work in tandem to create dynamically assigned activites.

Hope this helps,

Brian.
