Loop, send an email to Outlook

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Yes and yes but really this is a VERY basic question... please go do the training.
I think we've mentioned before that this newsgroup at least expects people to have done the basic training / read the help / etc.

Thank you, Jocelyn !
And by setting a deadline can I make the system either send an express mail
or on email to Outlook to inform the user that the deadline has just passed
?

Hi Mihai,
Hmmm... that approach is rather "reinventing the wheel" .
You just need an ordinary work item with a deadline.
If you can't use your existing activity step for this purpose,
then just create a dummy step and set a deadline on it.

Hi all,
 
 
 
The user sets a planned date and time to carry out a specific Business
Activity and saves it.
 
For demo purposes the system should inform the user about this activity when
time is due.
 
 
 
I created a workflow that has as Start Event the event 'Created' of this
object type.
 
In the workflow I have the following steps:
 
1.      Loop (Until) - loop until the planned time is <= current time
2.      Send Mail - sends en express mail
3.      Activity - create a dialog work item so that the user navigates to
the respective Business Activity from Business Workplace.
 
 
 
My questions would be:
 
1.      Instead of Loop what shall I use ? Definitively it is not the right
way to do it  for production (for demo it might suffice as the time will be
set maximum 5 minutes later )
2.      How to send an email to user's Outlook instead of an express mail as
he might not be in SAP ?
3.      Is it possible to send along with the mail a link to the respective
object so that he directly navigates to it ?
 
 
 
Best regards,
 
Mihai
