Create a new work queue

Use the New Queue dialog box to create a new work queue.

You cannot create new user queues. To create the default rosters, users queues, and event logs required to create a workflow using Process Designer, you must initialize the isolated region.

To create a new work queue

  1. Select the Work Queues folder icon and click New on the toolbar.
  2. In the Queue name box, enter the name of the queue. See Naming conventions for information regarding valid names.

    To create a security queue, precede the queue name with "SQ_".

    NOTE The name you enter is a logical name. The Process Engine dynamically determines the physical table and index names, to prevent collisions with existing table and index names.

  3. In the Description box, you can optionally enter a brief description of the queue. You can use the description to document the purpose of the queue, or to list any special notes. The description appears in Process Designer.
  4. Click Create.
  5. Select the icon of the new queue and click Properties on the toolbar. In the Queue Properties dialog box, you can further define the queue by creating system fields, data fields, indexes, or setting security levels.
  6. Click OK when done.
  7. Click Commit Changes on the toolbar to apply these changes to your isolated region. You can commit the changes immediately, or you can wait until you have finished all your changes.

    NOTE The commit process suspends all other database transactions within the isolated region until it finishes. We strongly recommend that you accumulate all changes and commit them once when you're done, or that you commit changes when the isolated region is relatively inactive. Avoid committing changes after every modification whenever possible.

   

NOTE When creating a new queue, the workflow author, workflow administrator, and application developer typically work together to determine its properties and usage.
