Deadlines

These are the deadlines that are monitored by the workflow system. Deadlines without entries are not monitored.

• Start by (latest start)

• End by (latest end)

Depending on whether the work item represents a step in the workflow or a task, the deadlines were either specified when this step was defined in the workflow definition or when the task was started in dialog.

To display all of the deadlines for the work item, choose  Workitem  Deadlines .

For more information, see

• Forwarded by

  If the work item was forwarded to you, the name of the forwarding party is entered here.

• Priority

  The priority of a work item results from the definition of this step in the workflow definition. The priority acts as a sort criterion for organizing the work items in the Business Workplace.

  You can change the priority here.

• Status text

  The current processing status is expressed by the Work Item Status.

• Generation date and processing date (processed from)

  These are the actual dates and times (when the work item was created and when processing was started).

Using the Messages function, you can display the return codes for processed work items, which were returned to the workflow system after execution of the object method.

Work item description

A description of the work item to be executed is provided at the bottom left of this tab page.

The task description is written in the task definition. It is used for information purposes and generally contains instructions and recommendations on processing the work item displayed.
