Role using Responsibility Rule ?

[casdhir@att.net]

HI Jocelyn,
 
I was not confused when I asked this question but let me try explaining the
scenario again by taking a simple example.
 
Lets say that you have Rule defined based on container element sysid which can
have three values DEV, QAS and PRD. Now here is what I would like to do in the
rule determination.
 
      SYSID               -      Agent Assignment
 
 1.     DEV               -      &_WF_INITIATOR&
 2.     QAS               -      Work Center A  (or Position, Org Units etc)
 3.     PRD               -      Work Center B  (or Position, Org Units etc)
 
We can do step 2 and 3 but not 1. Is there is a way I could assign a container
element in the responsibility which can be passed via binding? As I said
earlier I could develop a custom role to accomplish the same but this appear to
be more user friendly as I could assign all kinds of Org. objects to the
responsibility and maintenance of the Role is easier.
 
Thanks for responding.
 
Bye.
Chavi.
