The default trk_wf_reminder.msg notification file uses the listed workflow system variables. Some notification information is taken from the exposed log fields; if you disable the fields, you cannot use the field values in the notification. All field variables are case-sensitive.
Field variable | Exposed | Description |
---|---|---|
$F_SUBJPREFIX | String containing the prefix for the subject line of the notification message. | |
$F_WEBSERVER | String containing the name of the Application Engine server that a participant must attach to in order to respond to the notice. The name is also used to supply the background and notification type images. The $F_WEBSERVER value is retrieved from the Web Applications Server Base URL setting for the workflow system or isolated region. The isolated region value overrides the workflow system value. | |
$F_Subject | yes | String containing the subject that is entered by the user when a workflow is started. |
$F_Originator[1] | yes | Integer containing the user ID of the participant that started the workflow. |
$F_StartTime | yes | String containing the time that the workflow was created. Except for the initial work item of the workflow, it is different from the $F_CreateTime value. |
$F_WORKFLOW_DEADLINE | String containing a computed value. The value represents the result of the following computation: F_StartTime + F_WFDeadline(*60). (The F_WFDeadline field contains the workflow deadline value, in minutes.) | |
$F_WORKQUEUE | String containing the work queue that is associated with the workflow. By default, this queue is the Tracker queue. | |
$F_WobNum | yes | GUID (Global Unique IDentifier). The GUID identifies the specific work item for the notification. By default, this number is the work object number for the item in the Tracker queue. |
In addition to the default variables listed above, you can add optional variables in the notification file.
