Creating a Task Notification
*To create a task notification
1. Start the task notification wizard as described in Accessing the Task Notification Wizard.
2. In the JSF Portlet View File page, specify the following information:
*Task—Select the task you want the notification to apply to, or click New to create a new task.
*Subscription Name—Type the name you want to apply to the notification, or accept the default name. This name appears in the subscription list seen by the My webMethods user.
*Notification Subject—Type the text you want to appear in the subject line of the e-mail sent to the user; for example, "A new order approval task has been assigned to you."
3. Click Next.
4. On the second JSF Portlet View File page, accept the default value for the view file name, or type a new value.
From this point on, you can click Next to specify custom settings for the task notification, or click Finish to create the task notification with remaining default settings. The remaining pages in the wizard provide standard portlet configuration options.
When you click Finish, the task notification view opens in the view editor; you can modify the notification as required, and view the layout of the notification by clicking the Preview tab. For information about including a Task Action Link in a notification, see Adding a Task Action Link to a Notification.
Important:
You must create a task notification event as described in Creating a Task Notification Event, otherwise the notification will not be sent. In the run-time environment, you must also ensure that users are assigned to the task and subscribed to the notification. For information about subscribing to task notifications, see the PDF publication webMethods Task Engine User’s Guide.
