<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=358572917-30102008>I have a approval
step with a Latest End Deadline. The Task has a default rule for the
Recipient for Missed Latest End using the Rule 168 - Superior of the
binding parameter &_rule_result.agents[2]&. When the step is
executed rule 168 is used to determine who the superior is based on the workflow
initiator. The rule executes and the &_rule_result.agents[2]& is
filled with the correct superior of the workflow initiator.
For the deadline I did not complete the Recipient of the message in
the step tab for Latest End. The Action "Display Text" is selected.
I expected that the task configuration would provide the agent assignment
based on the passing of the rule_result.agent[2}. to the default rule parameters
for Recipients for Missed Latest End defined for the task . When the
deadline passed no message was sent. The deadline indicates that there was
no agent found. Am I missing something regarding deadline
configuration. My understanding is that if there is no recipient assigned
in the step phase of the deadline that the task configuration for the deadline
would be executed. Also when the Action " Display Text" is
selected does that also mean that the recipient is also going to receive the
workitem in there workflow inbox or is the only way they receive a workitem from
deadline processing is by a modeled deadline?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
