Forwarding work items and possible agents

Tue Jan 18 21:15:43 EST 2005

I didn't forwarded via SWIA; I logged on as an user and forwarded from 
there.

I get a pop up message saying: "The selected agent US MXTEST05 is not a 
'possible agent' in a workflow sense. Forward anyway?"

The user is not a possible agent of this task. When I check the workflow 
log, he is not in the possible agent list; after the forward he is the 
agent, but still not a possible agent.

Very puzzled and I am sure it is something simple that for some reason I 
can't see!

Thanks - any other ideas are welcomed!

Cheers

Cristiana

Cristiana,

Well, in theory at least, the user MUST be a possible agent, or they
wouldn't be able to execute the workitem (but they could view it).

I don't know.... I would guess that either the task has the attribute
'General Task' set, or the user has been assigned (perhaps indirectly)
the 'possible agents' role that you specified.

Out of curiousity, what was the text of the warning message that popped up
when you forwarded it? Did you forward it from your inbox,
or did you do an 'Administrator Forward' from SWIA??

cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul,

I understand that ideally the 'General Forwarding Not Allowed' should be
set.

But I don't understand why the user was able to execute the work item if 
he
was not a possible agent??

Any other ideas?

Regards

Cristiana

Cristiana,

Is the 'General Forwarding Not Allowed' attribute set on your task?

If it is set, you should only be able to forward to a possible agent (who
hasn't been excluded by the workflow).

hope this helps,
Paul

G'day,

we are in version 4.7

If a work item is forwarded to an user that is NOT a possible agent, a
message is displayed but you can still forward it.

In my scenario I'm using one security role assigned to the task to
determine the possible agents.

In my testing, the user that I forwarded the work item to is NOT a 
possible
agent. I accepted to forward the work item anyway; log on as the user and
could execute the work item?

I thought that if the user is not a possible agent of the work item, 
he/she
cannot execute it?

It seems rather a silly question but I am puzzled. I must have missed
something, but what?

Much thanks and regards,

Cristiana
