About adding notes to a user decision

[lianghuan.x.hu@accenture.com]

Do you consider the following as an alternative?
 
In the Reject outcome of the user decision, create a step with Advance
with dialog checked, using a task based on the method HTMLPROCESS of the
object FORM, then doing "web transaction" to let the system create the
page for us based on the task's container elements (reject_reason_1,
reject_reason_2, etc.).
 
The result is a work item that the approver has to complete when he
chooses to reject.
 
Thanks,
Larry Hu

G'day Anke,
 
Since this is a popular topic at the moment can you please provide a bit
more detail.
 
I've just tried to subtype/delegate DECISION and create a custom method
which to begin with simply calls the standard PROCESS method. When you
try to use a task based on this in a decision step it complains that the
task must be based on DECISION.PROCESS. 
 
Did you redefine the standard PROCESS method? If so how did you do it
such that it didn't affect any of the normal decision processing??
 
I'm currently on a site expecting heavy use of UWL and therefore would
love to have an inclusive rejection reason without the need to refresh
the inbox. 
 
Thanks,
Mark

	Hi,
	
	I have just finshed doing something very similar.
	
	The standard functionality provides a pushbutton to create an
attachment 
	(unfortunately not in UWL). If you can make it a business
procedure to have
	the approver use this, then that would be the easiest and most
standard
	solution.
	
	In my case, the reason for rejection had to be entered as a
mandatory 
	attachment. I made a copy of the decision step and added the
code to
	automatically popup the creation of an attachment if the
decision result is
	Reject. Code calls method SOFM.CREATE
	
	You can also consider using 2 steps (decision step + attachment)
and 
	continue with immediate dialog. This is a more standard solution
with less
	coding. Unfortunately doesn't work in UWL either.
	
	Also, have a look at the Conditions tab on the task. Here you
can check
	conditions before the workitem is set to sompleted. You can use
this to make 
	sure that the user has created an attachment before the workitem
is set to
	completed. This is the more standard approach. You will have to
give the
	user instructions on creating the attachment. (Or they'll think
workflow 
	doesn't work.) My client preferred the automatic popup with
prompt to create
	attachment.
	
	Hope this gives you some ideas on how to resolve it.
	
	Cheers,

	I would like to attach notes to a user decision
	for a reject decision, the reasons involved and other data has
to be entered 
	(mandatory) for a reject decision
	What element or task is available?
