About adding notes to a user decision

[Khanna, Manish]

Anke,

Last time when I tried to copy the user decision it never worked
properly. Could you please let me know if there any precautions while
doing the same. 

Moreover how could one know that what button means what. I've 8-10
different workflows in my production system, each using decision task in
some way or the other and each having different 'number' of options for
the user.

I've read it at many places that it's not easy to enhance the standard
decision task.

Regards,
Manish

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.
