Editing Resource Push Destinations

Work items can be pushed to a resource, rather than be pulled from a work item list. The resource push destination defines how, and to where, the work items are pushed.

Procedure

  1. From the Organization Browser, display a list of resources.
    For information about how to display a resource list, see Resource Lists.
  2. Select a resource whose push destinations you want to edit.
    You can edit the push destination for only a single resource at a time.
  3. From the toolbar above the resource list, click the Manage Push Destinations () button.
    A dialog is displayed that lists any existing push destinations that are defined for the selected resource.
  4. To define a new push destination for the resource, click Add a Push Destination.
    Note that you can also remove an existing push destination by clicking the button to the right of the push destination you want to remove.
  5. On the Push Destinations for <Org Entity> dialog, enter the following information:
    Field Description
    Active Check the box to make the push destination active. This provides a means of disabling the push destination without removing it.
    Name A descriptive name for the push destination.
    Channel Type The type of channel that will be used to push work items to the resource. Currently, the only available channel type is “Email Channel”, which causes the work items to be pushed to an email address.
    Channel ID Uniquely identifies the presentation channel to use when pushing work items to the organizational entity. The channel ID is defined when a presentation channel is defined in TIBCO Business Studio. For more information, see the TIBCO Business Studio documentation.
    Target Source Using the drop-down list in this field, you can select a resource attribute that contains the email address. You can either use this field, or the Targets field (see below) to specify the email address. If you specify a source for the email address in the Target Source field, the Targets field is disabled.

    Note that if the email address is ultimately coming from an LDAP attribute, you must map the LDAP attribute to a resource attribute — for information, see Mapping Resource Attributes.

    Targets The email address to which the work items are to be pushed. You can either use this field, or the Target Source field (see above) to specify the email address. To specify an email address in the Targets field, you must choose ("enter a target value)" from the Target Source field drop-down list.
  6. Click Save to save the push destination definition.
