Other information about the standard task

The object method operates on the work item from which it is called. The object processed is therefore the work item itself and does not exist until execution time. The element _WI_Object_Id of the task container must not be assigned a value.

The referenced method has four parameters:

Receivers

Recipient address as object reference, multiline

Express

Express flag

AddressStrings

Recipient name, multiline

TypeId

Recipient type

For each method parameter, there is a corresponding element in the task container and a binding definition from the task container to the method container. How the task container is "supplied" with the information required is described in the binding definition from the workflow container to the task container.

Each single-step task can only be used for the one text defined for it. If you want to send the long text in another context, you need to create a new single-step task with its own long text.

The descriptive long text contains expressions in the form &AbsenceForm.xxx& as variables. The object reference to the processed notification of absence is located in the element AbsenceForm in the task container. This element has been added to the standard elements in the task container. The expression above refers to the attribute xxx of this object. At runtime, the variables are replaced by the current attribute values.
