Work Item Selection 

Use

This function can be used to select and display work items of all types according to various criteria.

The option of finding work items using the selection report is intended primarily as a tool for administrators. In particular, you can use this report for "lost" work items that do not appear in any workflow inbox or not in the expected inbox.

If you want to program your own work item selections or evaluations, you must only use the view SWWVPUBLIC for selection. This view contains all the released header data of a work item.

Features

Selection conditions

Sequence number of a work item, which is assigned automatically by the work item manager. If you know the ID of the work item, for example from an error report, enter it here. If you enter an ID as a selection criterion, the system will ignore all other selection criteria.

For this and the two selection criteria below, refer to work item.

ID of the task represented by the work item.

The task ID must be appropriate to the work item type selected.

Work item type W either represents a standard task (ID TSxxxxxxxx ) or a customer-defined customer task (ID Txxxxxxxx ).

Work item type F either represents a workflow task (ID WFxxxxxxxx ) or a workflow template (ID WSxxxxxxxx ).

When specifying periods, ensure that the second entry is later than the first. For example, do not use periods such as "from 13:05:00 to 00:00:00".

You select the additional data indicator if the hit list is also to contain the columns number of the workflow definition, version of the workflow definition, workflow administrator and executed by.
