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 workflow system administrators. In particular, you can use this function for "lost" work items that do not appear in any workflow inbox or not in the expected inbox.

Note Note

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