Possible to "move" workitems to selfdefined folders (4.6c)?

[Van der Burg, Jeroen JA SITI-ITPSEE]

Tom,
 
Before 46 you could group and sort on texts and thus create your own
groupings; very flexible in combination with virtual attributes in your
objects linked to dynamic columns in your workflow inbox. This allows you to
flexibly define your text which is to be displayed in your dynamic column
and group your workitems on that.
 
>From 46 you are restricted to group your items on the _WI_GROUP_ID; this
allows you to group ('create folders for workitems') on the default
attribute of the object which you move into the _WI_GROUP_ID container
element of your workitem. This is actually quite powerful and flexible, but
takes a bit of time to familiarise yourself with if you are used to the old
way of grouping. Read the documentation carefully.
 
Both options can easily cover your requirement here; for the second one you
may have to delegate an object to set the relevant (possibly virtual)
attribute as the default one for that object (eg a date) to base your
grouping on. The end result will be one folder for each set of workitems
which need to be processed before a certain date.
 
 
Regards,

Hi.
 
Is it possible to create "folders" in the business workfplace and place
workitems there, or are the predefined groupings according to task etc the
only possibility. The requirement would be to devide up many workitems of
the same task in order to systemize them according to why processing must be
performed later.
 
Thanks
