Description

The WORKFLOWENGINE.STARTOBJECTWORKFLOWPROCESS tag starts the workflow for an object

Note the following when you use the ASSIGNMENTLIST parameter: when adding a new workflow step to a workflow process, the administrator needs to decide on the assignment method, which determines to whom the asset is assigned in the next workflow state. There are four assignment methods from which to choose:

• Retain "From State" assignees

• No assignments, control actions with function privs

• Assign from list of participants

• Choose assignee when step is taken

If the administrator selects the "Choose assignee when step is taken" assignment method, then the workflow participant is presented with a list of possible assignees at the time of "Finish my assignment".

For more information about setting up a workflow process, see the CS Administrator's Guide.
