How can I disallow the forwarding of workitems of a general t ask

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Pual/Eva,
Yes Paul from 4.6D you can mark a task as "forwarding not allowed".=20
And yes that suggestion would inevitably have nasty performance issues  =
 
as you have already worked out.=20
 
By the way Eva, if you mark a task as general task then that will =
always stop=20
you being able to restrict the fowarding even in 4.7.
Check whether it really needs to be a general task - linking the task =
to security profiles (i.e. activity groups) is=20
often safer, gives you more flexibility and can be maintained in PFCG =
by security administrators.
 
Plus "general forwarding not allowed" does not stop forwarding =
altogether - it only restricts users to forwarding=20
to another possible agent.  General forwarding lets you forward to =
anyone - even a non-possible agent - although of cousre that agent =
won't be able to execute the work item (maybe just add an attachment or =
respond to a query).=20
Jocelyn.

I have an idea for this that I've never used, and it may impact system
performance (especially if you have a lot of user ids).  Create a =
method
that selects all user names (with a US in front) except the proper
agent(s).  Get this into the workflow container and use the element as
the excluded agent for the step.  As you can never forward a workitem =
to
an excluded agent, you now have a general task that in effect cannot be
forwarded.
 
This will work, but it is pretty rubbish because:
 
1) Several thousand entries in the workflow container will create =
untold
havoc with huge persistant entries.
2) You have to use a dreaded background task to get the info into the
workflow container.  Minor compared to point 1.
 
I await people to shoot this down in flames.  Surely there is a better
way to do this in < 4.7 systems.
 
Cheers,
 
Paul

Hi,
 
is there any possibility to disallow forwarding of workitems of a
certain task? I can not use the option 'general forwarding not allowed'
because the task must(!) be a general task.
 
 
Best regards, Eva
