How to make a notification stay in a users inbox until they action it?

[Smit, Henk]

Hello,
 
You could set the "Confirm end of processing" checkbox in the task definition.
 
That way user would have to explicitly end the workitem and it stays in the inbox until they confirm end of processing.
 
Best Regards,
Henk Smit

Wuggers,

I would like to send a notification workitemto a user (a simple piece of
text, with an instruction: eg 'Please do X').

That's easy. But I would also like the workitem to _stay_ in their inbox
until they've done it. How do you achieve that?

I thought I could do it with a terminating event (X_IS_DONE), but the
notification task is based on SELFITEM.DISPLAY, which is a synchronous
method.
As far as I understand it, synchronous methods terminate once executed, and
do not need to wait for the terminating event.

Is there a better approach? Would I need to build a new, asynchronous
version of SELFITEM.DISPLAY?

thanks for your thoughts,
Paul B
