Make notification actionable feature in Human Task

Hi All,
While creating a Human Task, I have selected the option "Make notification actionable".
So, in the notification email i get all the custom outcome links.
They appear in a default format.
I wanted to know is there any way we could control these links like 1) formatting them to get displayed in a particular format and
2) show only some of the custom outcomes in the email like 2 out of the 3 outcomes.
I know that this is an out of the box feature of the Human Task but still wanted to know if there is any possibilty to control the actionable links in the email.
Thanks,
Suman

Hi Shah,
Thanks for yopur reply.
The links you provided were pretty helpful.
My requirement is to customize the actionable links that appear in the email on selecting the "Make notification actionable" feature of HumanTask.
The links will be dynamic according to the outcomes that we specify while creating the HumanTask but the font of the links in the email will be static i guess.
So, there might be some way to customize them.
Regards,
Suman

  • Customizing "Make notification actionable" feature of HumanTask

    Hi All,
    In my Human Task, i have selected the option "Make notification actionable".
    As a result i get all the custom outcomes as links in the notification email.
    Is there any way to control these actionable links that get displayed in the email.
    For e.g I want to change the position of these links in the email that by default get displayed at a fixed place in the email.
    Also i want to edit the default font of these links that get displayed in the email.
    I know that "Make notifcation actionable" is an out of the box feature but still wanted to know if there is any way to control these links.
    Please advise.

  • Remove Actionable links from human task notification??

    Is posible to remove the link from the human task notification mail.
    Thanks...

    yes, if you recompile the *.jar and remove the setting "make notifications actionable" (you can find it in the human task definition)

  • Bypass "Claim" action on a Human Task

    We are going to start user testing of our first BPEL process. The human tasks are set up to have a single approver, but they are assigned to a group of users. The users want to know if there is a way to by-pass having to claim the task, so that just one user could select the outcome they want without first having to claim the task. Is that possible, or must a task first be claimed by one of the people in the group before the actual outcome can be selected?
    Bonnie

    To achieve this functionality I am afraid you must modify worklist application code. I faced the same requirement some time ago, I simply modified dropdown box so that it alway displayed actions and before update on task added code that claimed task for user performing update.

  • Sending Human Task notification mail to a assignee not found in LDAP

    Hi All,
    I have 2 requirements:
    1. Suppose i have a HumanTask which sends a notification mail to the assignee when the task is assigned to him/her.
        In our process we are first checking if the assignee's email address is present in LDAP using the BPEL variable that holds the assigneeID.
        If it is not present in LDAP, then we are getting the email address from database before the invocation of the HumanTask.
        Now, as the emailaddress is not found in LDAP, so when the HumanTask is invoked the notification mail will not be sent to the assignee.
        So, we have used a separate email activity after the invocation of HumanTask to send the notification mail to the assignee using his emailaddress that we fetched from the database.
        I don't want to use this separate email activity and wanted to know if there is any other alternative to send the notification mail during invocation of the HumanTask using the emailaddress that
        we fetched from the database?
       Basically i want to know if there is any other way to send the notification mail when a task is assigned and the assignee's email address is not found in LDAP?
    2. Is it possible to send a Human Task's outcomes as links in an email activity body?
       Actually, i am sending a mail to a user using the email activity. Before that a HumanTask is present in my BPEL process.
       I want to send the HumanTask's outcomes as links in the email that i am sending to the user using the email activity just as they get displayed in the notification mail when HumanTask's "Make
       notification actionable" feature is selected.
    Please help me with the above requirements.
    Regards,
    Suman

    AnilB,
    Assigning a task to a user that is not in the directory will likely result in the BPM flow going into suspended state. To avoid this, assign the task to a pre-created group, you should not get an error even if the group is empty. You can then add and remove the users to that group to control access to the task.

  • BPM human task actionable user notification email not working

    Hi ,
    I am triing to send actionable email notification to assignees through the notification tab of the human task. The email settings in the em console has done fine so that I am getting the notification email without any fail.
    But the problem over here is the actionable buttons / links (Like Approve or Reject ) are not there inside the email body.
    I have checked the make notification actionable check box in jdev human task as well as configured the actionable email address in the server em console.Still the email body is not having the action items.
    email body is here
    Task Notification PendingUser Notification requires your attention.
    Access this task in the Workspace Application
    <PendingUser Notification > above is the task title.
    Please suggest
    many many thanks
    Tuku

    Hi All,
    I got the solution for it. Now the assignee is able to get the actionable email.
    the mistake i did is during the human task notification tab configuration I have put separate email id in the recipient column of first row.You need to do is ,choose Assignees from the drop down value , check the check box make notification actionable, then set the proper email in the email attribute property of the assigned user (user creation time).
    Thanks

  • Human task notification after due date/expiration date/...

    I would like to set a due date (or expiration date) to Human task, and set some notification before this time. Ok, it seemed very easy:
    - i set due date to 5 minutes in human task -> Deadlines
    - i set notifications in human task -> notification and in tab Advanced i set remind once 2 minutes before due date
    Nothing happens. Exactly same (nothing) happens when i do the same with expiration date.
    But what exactly is meaned under word "Reminder"?
    It's mail? (then where I have to set email adress? I tried to set a "to" field in human task -> notification -> tab Advanced -> notif. header attributes => nothing happened)
    It's worklist inbox message?
    Or what ist "reminder" and how it should remind me?

    Hi,
    I don’t know if you’ve managed to resolve this issue yet and you mention you have emails working from BPEL, but I'm not sure if you've got any notifications working for the Human Task, if not then I have done some work with the human task notifications and although I’ve not tried to do what you’re doing, this is what I have learned.
    Firstly to receive any notifications you need to configure the Messaging Driver and Workflow Notification Properties…
    In Enterprise Manager expand [farm] -> SOA -> soa-infra
    Right click soa-infra and choose SOA Administration -> Workflow Notification Properties
    Underneath the page title (Workflow Notification Properties) is a note telling you to configure the Messaging Service Driver. Click the "Go to the Messaging Driver page" link.
    In the associated drivers section you will have a single entry for soa_server1 (or what ever it's called for you). In the right hand column there is a button for configuring the driver, click this.
    In the driver specific configuration, scroll down to OutgoingMailServer and enter the hostname or IP address of your mail server, then click Apply at the top of the screen.
    Now go back to the Workflow Notification Properties screen and choose “Email” from the notification Mode and enter some sensible email addresses in the Notification Service section. It’s useful to have real email addresses in here at the moment because any failures will be returned to this address.
    You now need to restart Weblogic for these changes to take affect.
    After the restart you can test the notifications by doing the following
    Back in Enterprise Manager expand [farm] -> SOA -> soa-infra
    Right click soa-infra and choose Service Engines -> Human Workflow
    Click on the Notification Management tab.
    You can click the "Sent Test Notification" button to make sure everything is working ok. This screen also allows you to monitor notifications for failures.
    Now that the notifications have been set up you can configure who gets notified on which events against your human task in JDeveloper.
    The email addresses for the users are retrieved from your identify provider for the relevant user, by default this is the internal LDAP directory. I’m not using this, so I’m not sure exactly how this will work. There are options in the worklist application for individual users, but I’m not using this either.
    Now that this is set up you can configure the human task within JDeveloper. On the notification tab you can decide who gets notified when. By default when a task is assigned to a user, the assignees are notified, you can play about with these settings to see what works best for you. Have a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_workflow.htm#BABBHDGF for more information.
    I’m not sure I’ve solved your problem, but I hope this at least helps.

  • Human Task email notification and IMS

    Hi Chaps,
    I have a requirement to enable the email notification functionality embedded in Human Tasks. This email functionality presumably emails everyone for that role based on their email information located in Enterprise Manager -> Security -> my relam (?), however when I log into Business Process WorkSpace and try to edit the email address - it states that "Do not use this channel for BPEL User Notification or Human Workflow; it is not stored in the identify management system and will not work"
    Does this mean that I have to directly alter the LDAP Directory (somehow?) or will logging into Enterprise Manager and changing it manually suffice?
    Any help you could provide would be most welcome!
    Thanks..

    To know the more details on email notification using human tasks, follow the below link
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_hwfmodel.htm#BABICIAH
    Also, if you are trying to send emails without using LDAP, then simply configure the email driver in */em and assign the roles to whom you want to send the email to.

  • Human Task & Notification Services

    Hi! i have a little question about Human Task and Notification Services.
    I have a Human Task with an outcome OK/CANCEL actions, reading the 10.1.3 Dev Guide chapter 15 about notification services, i found an excellent feature i want to use, in the task definition if i mark the "make email messages actionables" checkbox, the user assignee to the task will receive an email with the two outcoume options of the task, the OK/CANCEL already defined, i need to change the wf_config.xml to define <actionableEmailAccountName> tag to configure this functionality, but there is no documentation about how to configure this file, and checking the checkbox there is no changes on the mail message sent to the user, checking or not the option i always get the same email with two attachments, one with a link to the worklist and another one with the payload of the task.
    How can i configure the mail notification to enable the links to my outcome actions?
    any help, advice and guide is welcome!!!

  • Notification Settings in Human Task

    Hi,
    How to get access to the Notification settings (like Notification Message) configured in the "Task Definition" Screen?
    I am not sure how to make use if options like sending secure emails, attachments and actionable emails. Does the "Task" will take care of this by itself or should it be copied on to the EMAIL node settings and sent out?
    Thanks,
    Anil

    I am using 10.1.3.1. It has the features to set the notification settings. For e.g.: I set a specific Notification message to all the Assignees using the Notification Settings ->Edit notification message pop-up dialog.
    After I set this will the Task automatically take care of notifying message to assignees OR is there a need to add the email component in the flow after the task gets created and assign this notification message to the email subject?
    If I have to use the email component to sent the email (which seems logical here) how can I assign (or from which variable in taskdef can I assign ) the message to the subject of the email component?
    Thanks,
    Anil

  • Email notification in human task: How to customize email subject.

    Dear all community members,
    I am using email notification service in human task to receive email notification if task is assigned to me. I have configured email notification in human task & I do receive the email in my inbox as assignee.
    The default email subject is like [Action Required: TASK_TITLE], I want to remove this [Action Required:] from email subject.
    I tried setting <%null%> in Notification Header in .task file but the email subject is still has Action Required.
    Is there any way to customize email subject so that I can get rid of [Action Required:] [FYI] in email subject.

  • "Reassign" and "Adhoc Route" Actions in human tasks

    Has anyone run into oddities when using either the "Reassign" or "Adhoc Route" actions from within a task in the BPM workspace?
    When I try to re-assign to a different participant, it seems the assignment gets lost altogether. The task history section on the task form shows the particpant went from the user I was logged in as and performed the reassign action to a "blank" participant on the next row. The Action column next to the blank participant shows "System Update" and the updated by column shows the participant from the previous row.
    When I attempt to Adhoc Route, I select the participant to send to (via the search and moving them from the LHS to RHS of the shuttle widget) and add my comment - but when I click OK it doesn't go anywhere. The screen updates and the task history shows a new row indicating a comment was added, but not the adhoc routing assignment. It just stays in the current assignment as if nothing changed except the comment.

    It also seems that the "Edit Routing Slip" option isn't functioning properly. If you go into a human task and click the "edit" pencil next to the "Task will go from starting to final participant" and check "Allow participants to edit new participants" then when you view the task within workspace the routing slip within the "History" section will appear with buttons to add/remove/edit rows in addition to an "Apply" and "Reset" button. However the add/remove/edit icons are always disabled. I tried with a participant within the routing slip, the Process Owner as well as an administrative user, but the results were the same. Am I doing this incorrectly?
    Are these bugs or have these features not yet been implemented?

  • Human task notification email problem

    Hi All,
    We are getting a strange error with the Human Task Notification email. All mail settings look fine, but we are receiving "Error 500 -- internal server error" in the notification email. As far as we can tell, the email is sent to the right receipt, which is specified by expression, and Worklistapp is working properly. The error is complaining that the authentication of the user "workflowsystem" fails. I believe that it's a system user, but have no idea why it fails.
    This is the notification sent to the assignee and the followings are the details of the error:
    Error 500--Internal Server Error

    Looks like you may be specifying ad-hoc email address (by expression) in the notification configuration, but have not configured the notification for “secure” notification.
    If the notification is actionable, then the runtime impersonates the participant to ensure that the form renders as it would in the browser. However if the configuration of recipient is ad-hoc (i.e. an email address rather than participant type) then the attempt to impersonate fails, in this case trying to be “workflowsystem” user, which isn’t a real user in the directory.
    You can send a notification to an explicit email, but the notification has to configured as secure, which means they just get a link to the task in the message body.

Maybe you are looking for
