<DIV>G'day Anke,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Since thi! s is a popular topic at the moment can you please provide
a bit more detail.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've just tried to subtype/delegate DECISION and create a custom
method which to begin with simply calls the standard PROCESS method. When
you try to use a task based on this in a decision step it complain! s that
the task must be based on DECISION.PROCESS. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Did you redefine the standard PROCESS method? If so how did you do it
such that it didn't affect any of the normal decision processin! g??</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm currently on a site expecting heavy use of UWL and therefore
would love to have an inclusive rejection reason without the need to
refresh the inbox. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>Mark<BR><BR> </DIV>

This is a more standard solution with less<BR>coding. Unfortunately
