(Re-)Evaluation of positions and rules

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi, 
Rick is correct... however you can build an automatic update into your workflow scenario to cover the most common situations if you want to take it that far. 

You can set the workflow to automatically update the agents by using the workflow header version dependent event response "Re-evaluate agents with active work items". 
You'll need to create an event that triggers this response e.g. create a REEVALUATE_AGENTS event in your ABAP class or business object. 

You also need to work out how you will trigger that event... e.g. you might trigger it when a deadline is reached, or build it into whatever application you are using to maintain your position to user assignments (via a user exit, or using existing workflow events of business objects like PDOTYPE_S  to then trigger your reevaluate agents event).

Regards,
Jocelyn

Hello,

You will need to re-evaluate the agents, it doesn't happen
automatically (except e.g. if the workitem is re-created after a
deadline expires).
