AW: Advance with dialog question

Tue Aug 27 08:59:53 EDT 2002

Correct, but you could try to make the background step a dialog step =
and run
it (authorisation assumed) under the ID of the dialog user, then it =
might
work, although I haven't tried it..

Hello Sheldon,

It is my understanding that the Advance with dialog setting only works =
for
two
consecutive dialog tasks. If you have an intervening background step =
then
the
user will have to execute the next step from the Inbox.  When the =
background
step starts, the user's current dialog step has to be terminated and
returned to
the start screen, in this case the Inbox.

Hello Fellow WF'ers,

I have a workflow in which a user executes a workitem and performs a
transaction, then some background tasks occur, then (based on =
background
results) a specific user decision is displayed.  For some reason the =
user is
getting popped back into their inbox to execute the user decision - =
instead
of
it executing immediately.  I did some checking and all the 'Advance =
with
Dialog'
flags are turned on.  Also, each dialog task is determined via a SAP =
office
distribution list (the same list for both tasks).

I have similar scenarios in the same workflow and do not run into this
issue.
Any ideas on why they are getting put back into their inbox and forced =
to
execute the item manually?

Thanks,
Sheldon Skidmore
