DEVELOPERS FORUM - Create new task and notification on item due date

ejmoska - Friday, April 1, 2016 4:28 AM:

Hello,

I am trying to create an itemtype which would have a due date, upon that due date i would like to receive a task to my inbasket and notificatoin to my e-mail. Is this possible and how? thank you

All you need to do is to create a new workflow map with only one Activity (maybe 2 - to close the workflow = remove it from MyInbasket) 

Then assign this workflow for the first state of the Life Cycle of your itemtype. 

 

Now every time you will create new item it will create small WF and then you will see activity in MyInbasket.

Thank you for a quick reply Zahar, but this will create a task which will Always be active in the inbasket. Lets say we have a deviation permit (quality management) - which has start and end date , until the end date there is no need for task (Or at least Active one , like in Project management)

You can add one more activity and using the server side method set Expected Duration.

Then attach sever method to this activity for the event On Due that will promote the WF.

Of course you need to set "Finish"  activity that users can send your WF to - so this WF can be closed and removed from InBasket
