AW: linking SAP to MS Outlook - Issues

Thu Aug 3 10:46:04 EDT 2006

Yeah Mike, I saw it and came to know of these two reports

RSWUWFML2
RSWUWFML

To send email notifications about work items. But when I run these two 
reports, the I see that there is a section in the selection screen to 'Add 
executable Attachment for E-Mail for

It has three checkboxes.

Workflow Entry
WorkItem Display
WorkItem Execution

The Workflow Entry checkbox is enabled while the other two options are 
disabled. How can I enable the other two checkboxes and avail the work items 
to be displayed and executed in my outlook inbox.

Regards,
Vijay
