Note: You must have workflow administrator privileges to access other users' notifications in the Notifications page. If you do not have administrator privileges, you can only search for and access your own notifications. Workflow administrator privileges are assigned in the Workflow Configuration page. See: Setting Global User Preferences.

   To search for notifications:

1. Navigate to the Notifications page by choosing the Administration tab in the Oracle Workflow administrator Web pages and choosing Notification Search in the horizontal navigation.

2. Search for the notifications you want to access. The following search criteria are available only if you have workflow administrator privileges:

• Notification ID - Enter the numerical notification ID for a specific notification. Note that if you specify a notification ID, all other search criteria are ignored.

• Owner - Select the role that owns the notifications.

• To - Select the role to which the notifications were sent.

Note: Usually, the Owner role and the To role for a notification are the same. However, you can specify different roles in the Owner field and the To field to search for notifications that were reassigned in Delegate mode. See: Setting the WF: Notification Reassign Mode Profile Option.

The following search criteria are always available:

• From - Select the role from which the notifications were sent. The From role for a notification is determined by the #FROM_ROLE message attribute. See: #FROM_ROLE Attribute, Oracle Workflow Developer's Guide.

• Status - Select the status of the notifications. You can search for notifications that are open, closed, or canceled, or to which an invalid reply was submitted, or choose All to display notifications in any status.

• Workflow Type - Select the workflow item type to which the notifications belong. The display name for the workflow type you select populates the Workflow Type field, and the internal name for the workflow type you select populates the Type Internal Name field.

• Type Internal Name - Enter the internal name of the workflow type to which the notifications belong, if you want to enter the internal name directly instead of selecting a value.

• Subject - Enter the subject line of the notifications. This field is case-sensitive. You can use the percent sign (%) as a wildcard character.

• Sent - Choose Today, This Week (last seven days), Last 2 Weeks (last fourteen days), Last 30 Days, Last 60 Days, or Any Time to specify when the notifications were sent. All the sent date ranges include the current date; for example, Last 2 Weeks includes today as well as the previous thirteen days.

• Due Date - Choose Last 2 Weeks (last fourteen days), This Week (last seven days), Today, Next 2 Weeks (next fourteen days), Next 30 Days, Next 60 Days, or Any Time to specify when the notifications should be completed. All the due date ranges include the current date; for example, Next 2 Weeks includes today as well as the next thirteen days.

• Priority - Select High, Normal, or Low as the notification priority, or choose All to display notifications of any priority.

Note: If you have workflow administrator privileges, you must enter at least one of the following criteria when you search in order to limit the size of the results list.

• Notification ID

• Owner

• To

• From

3. To view and respond to a notification, select the notification subject link in the Subject column. See: To View the Details of a Notification, Oracle Workflow User's Guide.

Note: If you take action on another user's notification, such as responding to, reassigning, or closing the notification or requesting more information, then Oracle Workflow updates the notification's action history to show that you performed that action.
