Folders For Filing Workitems

Folders For Filing WorkitemsHello Seth,

I have never used the workitem-display exit, but mayhaps this offers a solution path:

- You /can/ somehow create your own folders, when using a business object instance and put this into the work item container _WI_GROUP_ID
- For each object instance, a new folder will be created under the folder "By organizational ..." (or however exactly this folder is named)
- You'll need a business object like ZFOLDER, which pretty much nothing of functionality, but a key fields, let's say 10 Characters TYPE C
- In the work item display tab (the extension that you had to program) you offer a drop-down box and a save-button to reassign the container value. The save button updates the work item container through the usual framework. The work item is currently not locked, because the execution hasn't started.
- On the next entry into the SAP Business Workplace, the new assignment will happen (apparently the folders are generated only when entering the workplace)

Best wishes,
   Florin

  All, 

  Does anyone know of a way to create folders in the business workplace under the workflow tab?  I need the folders for workitems, not documents. 

  We have some users that have very large volumes of a particular type of workitem and want a way to file and organize these workitems so that they can efficiently work the queue.  I have never seen a way to create folders and tried searching OSS with no luck.  Anyone know of a way to do this or have a good idea for a work around?

  I thought of using a dynamic column so that they could sort/filter; however, they need to be able to change the value at will for "filing" purposes so that won't work.  The only other solution I could think of is to let the users use the priority settings (we do not use priorities on these workitems) so that they could come up with their own system for what each level means then sort and/filter.

  Any thoughts or ideas? 

  Thanks, 
  Seth
