Deactivate "Forward" Button in Workflow Inbox

Thu Sep 13 00:07:30 EDT 2007

Mustafa, 

Yes you have missed it... if you set it to "Forwarding not allowed" you
must assign possible agents.  A task cannot be both a general task and a
forwarding not allowed task. 

That's why your best option is to use the UWL XML config.

	Mustafa, 
	The solution I suggested - to hide the "forward" button using
the UWL XML Config - can be applied either globally for all workflows or
only for the specific workflow task.  

	To apply it just for the workflow task you need to change the
display_order_priority property of the "forward" action in the specific
ItemType tag of the relevant workflow task.  You do not need to change
the forwarding settings on the workflow task itself in the ERP system so
you can leave it as a general task.

	I strongly recommend you take a look at the
uwl_configuration.dtd (you should see a link from the UWL Administration
view) to understand how ItemType and Action tags should be parsed. 

	Plus ... a little cultural awareness for you Mustafa...  :-)

	Jocelyn Dart is female and you should address her by her first
name i.e. "Jocelyn" - Dart is the family or surname and should never be
used to address a female unless you are addressing her formally with her
title e.g. as "Ms. Dart"
	These little niceties are always good to know for the sake of
international co-operation.

	Thanks Dart and Florin,

	Florin: I need to leave the "Generic Task" task selected since
the approver is not known at design time. I can't even nominate a group
of people to be the possible agents for that task since anybody in the
company could be an approver. In addition, we are using a custom
decision task not the standard decision task nor a copy of it. 

	Dart's solution will affect all workflows if I understood him
correctly. We need this only for specific workflows.
