Oracle Workflow also provides the Personal Worklist, which includes additional options to specify what notifications to display in your Worklist and what information to display for those notifications. Before you can use the Personal Worklist, your system administrator must give you access to it.

Note: For information about the Worklist pages in standalone Oracle Workflow, see: Viewing Notifications from a Web Browser for Standalone Oracle Workflow.

From Role

• If this notification was reassigned through the Worklist web pages, the From column shows the user who reassigned the notification to the current recipient.

• If this notification is a request for more information, the From column shows the user who sent the request.

• If this notification is a response providing more information, the From column shows the user who sent the response.

• Additionally, the From role for a notification may be set by special logic in the workflow process. See: #FROM_ROLE Attribute, Oracle Workflow Developer's Guide.

Worklist Access

The worklist access feature lets you allow another user to handle your notifications without giving that user access to any other privileges or responsibilities that you have in Oracle Applications. However, note that a user who has access to your worklist can view all the details of your notifications and take most actions that you can take on the notifications. Ensure that you take all necessary security considerations into account when you choose to grant worklist access to another user.

If another user has granted you access to his or her worklist, you can switch the Advanced Worklist to display that user's notifications instead of your own. When viewing another user's worklist, you can perform the following actions:

• View the details of the user's notifications.

• Respond to notifications that require a response.

• Close notifications that do not require a response.

• Reassign notifications to a different user.

Note: Your own assigned notification reassign mode still applies when you are viewing another user's worklist. For example, if your notification reassign mode is Delegate, then you can only delegate notifications, even if you are viewing the worklist of a user who has access to transfer notifications. See: Setting the WF: Notification Reassign Mode Profile Option, Oracle Workflow Administrator's Guide.

• Request more information about a notification from a different user.

• Respond to a request for more information.

You cannot define vacation rules for the user whose worklist you are viewing. You also cannot grant access to that user's worklist to anyone else.

Note: To respond to a notification that requires a digital signature, you must be logged in as the intended recipient. You cannot respond to a notification that requires a digital signature when you are accessing another user's worklist, because in this case the user responding will not match the intended recipient, so authorization will fail. However, with worklist access, you can reassign the notification to yourself so that you can access the notification through your own worklist and respond directly.
