Work Parties form - Completing the Valid Parties tab
Add a row for each party role that may participate in a work item. These appear at runtime, whether as a selection box or with text fields visible, in the work item entry form. In the second array, identify which of these party roles may appear two or more times in one work item.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| List of Valid Parties | |
| Party Label | Enter a unique label that is to appear on the work item entry form to identify this party role. For example, you can enter Lawyer or Design Manager. |
| Role |
Enter a unique identifier for this role. See How to enter a Java identifier. If the value you entered for
Party Label
contains no spaces or underscores and meets other requirements of an identifier, you can repeat the
Party Label
value here. (This value becomes the index of a Page Group property; it is not visible on user forms.)
The value Originator has a fixed use to identify the operator who entered the work item. The value Follower has a fixed use to support following cases. This work party role can be added to a work object indirectly; it does not need to appear in the work parties rule. |
| Party Class | Select a concrete class derived from the Data-Party class. (Such classes are intended to hold information about work parties.) For example, you can enter Data-Party-Lawyer-RealEstate or one of five standard concrete classes derived from Data-Party. |
| Party Prompt |
Optional. Enter a short description of the
Data-Party
class. This short description appears at runtime, following the party label on the work item entry form.
For example, you can enter Real Estate if the class distinguishes Real Estate Lawyers from Family Lawyers. On the work item entry form, a user sees Lawyer — Real Estate. If your application supports users in multiple languages, you can create language-specific Work Parties rules in language-specific RuleSets, so that these prompts are appropriate for each locale. |
| Data Transform |
Optional. To cause the system to complete initial values for some fields on the
PartyDisplay
HTML rule configured in your
Data-Party
class, identify a data transform in the same
Data-
class.
|
| VOE? |
Select the
VOE
(Visible on Entry) check box to cause the
PartyDisplay
HTML for this party to appear at runtime at the time of the first display of the work item entry form, rather than only after a user makes a choice from a selection box.
|
| Required? | Select to indicate that this party must be present in every new work item. |
| List Parties That May Repeat | |
| Party |
Optional. To allow users to enter more than one lawyer, more than one dependent, or more than one of any of the other roles on this form, enter those roles here.
If you do not enter a work party role from the array, the system enforces a maximum limit of one party for that role. |
