Activities

Displaying Worklists in Worklist Administration

Proposal pool worklist are displayed in a list sorted according to the date and time they were scheduled, with the most recently scheduled worklists appearing first. You can restrict the number of worklists displayed in this list according to the following criteria:

You can restrict the number of entries in this list so that only worklists of one specific purpose are displayed. For example, if you only want to view worklists with the purpose APEX, choose Appl.-specific entries (APEX) from the Purpose field under Worklist selection.

You can restrict the number of entries in this list so that only worklists with one specific status are displayed. If you only want to view worklists with status Active, for example, choose Active from the Status field under Worklist selection.

You can restrict the number of entries in this list so that only worklists created by one specific user are displayed. For example, if you only want to view worklists that you yourself created, select your user name from the Created by field under Worklist creation.

You can restrict the number of entries in this list so that only worklists created within a specific date range are displayed. For example, if you only want to view worklists that were created today, enter today's date in the Date from field under Worklist creation.

Editing a Proposal Pool Worklist

For more information, see Editing a Proposal Pool Worklist.

Deleting Duplicate Entries

This function prevents multiple processing of the same entries in the propsal pool. If you have created more than one worklist, it is possible that they contain some identical entries from the proposal pool. To remove duplicate entries that already exist in all other worklists that you are currently displaying in WL Administration, select the worklist from which you wish to remove duplicate entries and choose Delete duplicate entries. The system will display a message informing you how many entries it has removed from this worklist.

Refreshing the Status of a Proposal Pool Worklist

If you proposal pool worklist still has the status Running, you can use the Refresh function to refresh the status of your worklist. As soon as the system displays status Active for your worklist, you can begin to edit the proposals in your worklist using the Edit WL function.

Deleting a Proposal Pool Worklist

For performance reasons, you are recommended to have no more than 3 proposal pool worklists with status Active under your name at any one time. Once you have finished processing the entries in your worklist, you should delete it from the list in Worklist administration

To delete a proposal pool worklist that you have created, select it from the list that you have displayed in WL administration and choose Delete. The system will display a dialog box asking you if you want to delete the worklist(s) that you have selected. Choose Yes.

Setting Status to Terminated

If processing of your worklist has been canceled for some reason, yet the status of your worklist is still displayed as Running in WL Administration, you need to set the status of your worklist to Terminated before you can delete it. To do this, select your worklist in WL Administration and choose Edit ® Set status to terminated.
