Create a new work queue
Use the New Queue dialog box to create a new work
queue. See About queues for general information.
NOTE When creating a new queue, the workflow author, workflow administrator, and application developer typically work together to determine its properties and usage.
TIP User queues (inboxes) are created automatically when you initialize the isolated region.
To create a new work queue
- Select the Work Queues folder and click New on the toolbar.
- 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_". See About security queues
.
NOTE The
name you enter is a logical name. Process Engine (PE) dynamically determines the physical table and index names, to prevent
collisions with existing table and index names.
- 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.
- Click Create.
- Select 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.
- Click OK when done.
- Click Commit Changes on the toolbar to apply this change to your isolated region. See Commit changes for additional information.
