What is the task the user has to do?<BR>
<BR>
One option is not to use the SELFITEM.DISPLAY and just ask the user to do something. <BR>
<BR>
Instead, you can send the message with the task he has to perform. If this task is asynchronous, you are done. If it is not, <BR>
you can create a loop on your workflow that will check if the task was done and send the message again if it was not.<BR>
<BR>
The option to use the "confirm end of process" is ok to, but the user can always left the message doing nothing.<BR>

Flávio.<BR>> Subject: How to make a notification stay in a users inbox until they action it?<BR>> To: SAP-WUG@mit.edu<BR>> From: Paul.Bakker@osr.treasury.qld.gov.au<BR>> Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2007 17:29:28 +1000<BR>> <BR>> Wuggers,<BR>> <BR>> I would like to send a notification workitemto a user (a simple piece of<BR>> text, with an instruction: eg 'Please do X').<BR>> <BR>> That's easy. But I would also like the workitem to _stay_ in their inbox<BR>> until they've done it. How do you achieve that?<BR>> <BR>> I thought I could do it with a terminating event (X_IS_DONE), but the<BR>> notification task is based on SELFITEM.DISPLAY, which is a synchronous<BR>> method.<BR>> As far as I understand it, synchronous methods terminate once executed, and<BR>> do not need to wait for the terminating event.<BR>> <BR>> Is there a better approach? Would I need to build a new, asynchronous<BR>> version of SELFITEM.DISPLAY?<BR>> <BR>> thanks for your thoughts,<BR>> Paul B<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> ******************************************************************************************************************************************************<BR>> <BR>> Only an individual or entity who is intended to be a recipient of this e-mail may access or use the information contained in this e-mail or any of its attachments.
