workitem / workflow priority and inheritance to new tasks

[Koenraad Janssens]

Hello
 
No we didn't do any bindings as we thought it would be standard that this
priority was passed through.  (it's in our advice the logical thing to do)
After experimenting some more and searching OSS a colleague of mine was
able to make it work by implementing note 689830 (Inheritance when
changing work item priority).  From that moment on you can change the
priority from the inbox or by using the function 'SWW_WI_PRIORITY_CHANGE'.

Hi Koenraad,
 
Did you bind the new priority of the task back to the workflow container
_Wf_Priority.
If I remember correctly, as soon as that one is filled, it should
overwrite the default priority you set in a task.

Hi all
 
We are currently experimenting with workitem priority to give our users
an idea which workflow they have to solve first.  They seem to have
problems in prioritising there work.. so offcourse we'll do anything to
help them.
The general idea we have behind it is that as soon as a certain period
is gone by (e.g. 5 days) we switch the priority of that workflow so it
moves up in their work queue.
 
We'll use the SWW_WI_PRIORITY_CHANGE function to set the priority as
this function gives us the possibility to not only set the priority on
the workitem itself but also propagate this setting to the remainder of
the workflow. (<-> SAP_WAPI_CHANGE_WORKITEM_PRIO which only sets the
priority of the workitem)
 
Now in our idea it's logical that once set a priority remains the same
for every new workitem in an underlying workflow.  However this seems
not to be the case.
Anyone an idea how we can make the newly created workitems inherit this
priority?  And we would prefer it to be without or with a minimum of
binding operations because we would have to update a large amount of
workflows.....
 
We'll appreciate any input you can give on this subject....
 
Kind regards
