Work List Tab

A work list is a list of work items (or approval tasks) that appears in the User Console of the participant authorized to approve the task. Work items correspond to manual activities in a workflow process. Work items are represented as rows in the work list.

Your work list appears automatically when you log into the Identity Manager User Console if you have been assigned to approve work items initiated by other users.

Work items can be added to a work list in the following ways:

• A participant resolver determining a list of approvers.
• Receiving delegated work items from another user.
• Reassigning it to another user.

Work items can be removed from a work list in the following ways:

• Completing (approving or rejecting) the work item.
• Reassigning it to another user.
• Reserving it. This removes it from the work list of all other participants.

Each work item has the following default fields:

• Status—Either available (indicated by a circle) or reserved (indicated by a check)
• Name—A linked description of the work item
• Last Updated On—The date of the last action on the work item
• Initiated By—The user who initiated the task
• Delegated From—The ID of the delegator (only if this is a delegated work item)
• Workflow Level—Either task-level or event-level
