Workflow Open FYI Mail Message

The Notification System uses the Workflow Open FYI Mail message as a default template for all e-mail notifications that do not require a response. The template indicates that the notification is for your information (FYI) and does not require a response. In addition to the message, the template also includes any history of actions on the notification.

The Workflow Open FYI Mail message has the following message attributes. The values are drawn from the message definition associated with a notification activity.

START_DATE The date the message is sent.
TO The role the notification is sent to; the performer.
SUBJECT The subject line defined in the message.
BODY The text of the body defined in the message.
COMMENT Comments added by the sender or the forwarder.
PRIORITY The priority of the notification message.
DUE_DATE The date by which a response is required, specified in the notification activity.
NOTIFICATION Required notification code used to identify the information in the notification.
SENDER The name of the sender of the message, as displayed in the From column in the Worklist. This attribute is not currently used.
HEADER Standard header attributes and any custom header attributes defined to hold key information for the message. See: Header Attributes, Oracle Workflow Developer's Guide.
TIMEZONE The time zone of the dates and times displayed in the notification, based on the time zone of the server from which the notification was sent. This attribute is not currently used.
HISTORY The history of actions on the notification.
