Overdue Step Tracker Notification (trk_stp_deadline.msg)

The default trk_stp_deadline.msg notification file uses the following WorkFlo Services variables. Some notification information is taken from the exposed log fields; if you disable the fields, you will not be able to use the field values in the notification. All field variables are case sensitive.

$F_Subject

yes

String containing the subject entered by a user when the workflow was launched.

$F_Originator[1]

yes

Integer containing the user ID of the participant who started the workflow. Including [1] causes the Image Services user name to display in the notification.
