Note: In Oracle Applications, the Notification Details page may include the Delegate button or the Transfer button instead of the Reassign button, depending on the setting of the WF: Notification Reassign Mode profile option. The #HIDE_REASSIGN attribute controls the Delegate button and the Transfer button in the same way as the Reassign button. See: Setting the WF: Notification Reassign Mode Profile Option, Oracle Workflow Administrator's Guide.

In Oracle Applications, the #HIDE_REASSIGN attribute also controls whether a notification can be reassigned using the Reassign button in the Advanced Worklist, Personal Worklist, or self-service home page. The Reassign button in these pages will still be displayed, but an error message will appear if users attempt to reassign notifications for which the #HIDE_REASSIGN attribute has been set.

Additionally, with this attribute you can specify whether or not the notification can still be reassigned through vacation rules. You can choose to both hide the Reassign button and prevent reassignment through vacation rules. In this case Oracle Workflow does not apply any vacation rules to reassign those notifications, but simpy delivers the notifications to the worklist of the original recipient. You can also choose to hide the Reassign button but still allow reassignment through vacation rules.

The #HIDE_REASSIGN attribute must be either of type text or lookup.

• To hide the Reassign button in the Notification Details page, and to prevent reassignment from the Advanced Worklist, Personal Worklist, and self-service home page, as well as through vacation rules, set the value of this attribute to Y.

• To hide the Reassign button in the Notification Details page, and to prevent reassignment from the Advanced Worklist, Personal Worklist, and self-service home page, but still allow reassignment through vacation rules, set the value of this attribute to B.

• To display the Reassign button in the Notification Details page, and to allow reassignment from the Advanced Worklist, Personal Worklist, self-service home page, and vacation rules, set the value to N.

Note: If you want to prevent reassignment in all cases, it is recommended to define the #HIDE_REASSIGN attribute with a type of lookup and assign it the predefined Yes/No lookup type that is provided in the Standard item type. The Yes/No lookup type contains two lookup codes with the display names Yes and No, representing the values Y and N, respectively. However, if you want to set the value to B, you must either define the attribute with a type of text or define a custom lookup.

• If you always want to restrict reassignment for notifications using a particular message, specify the value Y or B as a constant.

• If you only want to restrict reassignment in certain cases, specify an item type attribute as the value. Then include logic in your workflow process that dynamically determines at runtime whether reassignment should be permitted or restricted and sets the item type attribute to Y, B, or N, accordingly.
