flexible inbox view

['Mark Pyc']

G'day Veerle,
 
Since I haven't noticed anymore directly helpful responses, the only thing
to really say is - You can always develop it yourself...
 
There are all the WAPIs and plenty of code in the standard reports to
cut'n'paste into, if not flexible, at least a completely custom solution.
If you come up with any real treats you could always share them with the
group.
 
Have fun,
Mark

        Subject:        flexible inbox view
 
 
Hello,
 
we get complaints of our WF users about the non-flexibility of
showing/grouping the inbox tasks !! They are overwhelmed with messages and
do not find back the most urgent  or most critical or related tasks .... .
The fact is indeed that we have A LOT OF workflows;
- WFs for the validations of contracts (SD)
- WFs for the validation of orders (SD)
- WFs for the validation of scheduling agreements (SD)
- ....
In each of these WFs, there are several parties to validate. Moreover,
each party can change the SD document and hence we have to send back a
validation message to all the other parties ... . Moreover, we have a
validation workflow per sales document item while one sales document may
have several items and hence several WFs at the same time. So it is
obvious that the users want to see all related WFs one after the other ...
. Or want to see all WFs for a certain customer, or all WFs of sales
documents with a requested delvery date within x weeks, ..... . Or all WFs
already accepted by party X but not yet accepted by party Y, ....
 
I am aware of the possibility of using "dynamic columns" . In this way, we
can add additional info to the work item text and the user can define
sorting and filters on it. We use them of course already but this is
restricted to 6 columns. And yes, this is not enough for our users .... .
 
What they really want is some "very flexible way "  to select a part of
all their WF tasks based upon various selection options (additional info
of the WF object) and then sorted is some flexible way.
 
Does anybody has some good idea to help us ?
 
 
Kind regards,
Veerle.
