Work Item Attributes

Work Item Attributes are values that can be assigned to work items from process data. They can then be displayed for the work list entries for the work items, and can be sorted on.

When Work Item Attributes are listed in the Mapper, you can use the Work List Facade to define a set of display labels, and assign them to the predefined work item attribute set.

In the Work List Facade editor, the attributes are sorted on the numeric values in their name: for example, attribute0, attribute1,attribute2. See "Creating a Work List Facade" in TIBCO Business Studio Modeling User's Guide.

You can define display values for any of the 40 work item attributes. Work item attributes that have display values defined appear at the top of the list of attributes, above those with no display values assigned. See "Setting the Display Label for Work Item Attributes" in TIBCO Business Studio Modeling User's Guide.

Note: As work lists may be used to display work items from many different BPM applications simultaneously, the use of work item attributes must be coordinated between those applications.
Note: The 40 work item attributes and data types are described in "Working with Worklists" in the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM - BPM Developers Guide.
