EEC6 Requested Start & Resubmission

[Rick Bakker]

Hello Rick,

As you quoted in the Help:

"A dialog work item appears in the Business Workplaces of its recipients
when the requested start is reached"

That isn't true; it should read that it appears in the Inbox. Isn't that
what they call a "documentation bug"?

I'd never used Requested Start in this way before so I didn't even know it
went to the Resubmissions folder.

regards
Rick Bakker
