<div>Thanks for that reply susan. Looks like i will have to customize this WAPI to suit my requirements. I might have to build this up as a seperate transaction for use and ask the users to use this transaction for maintaining substitutes. But if i need to do that i will have to suppress the option of maintaining substitutes from SBWP. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any help.

<br>><br>> In a Workitem or in a particular task , we have the option of Excluded<br>> agents. You can exclude the agents that you don't want to view/execute<br>> the Workitem. You will need to create a Container element and populate
<br>> it with the list of agents who are not authorized to view/execute the<br>> work item and then pass this Container element in the Place where it<br>> says Excluded agents.<br>> Through the Maintain Substitute option in SBWP, you won't be able to
<br>> do that.<br>><br>> Thanks<br>> Albina<br>><br>><br>><br>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>><br>> _______________________________________________
