How to Assign Default Presentation Parameters

You can assign default presentation parameters using CONFIGURATIONDEFINITION and WORKFLOWFORM seed data.

To assign defaults, the FormPresentation parameter must be present in the WORKFLOWFORM table. The inputs of this parameter are MailPresentation, ReassignMailPresentation, and DelegationMailPresentation. These parameters are optional. If not specified, values are defaulted using the WORKFLOWFORM table

  • The default FormPresentation parameter is retrieved from WORKFLOWFORM.FORMID corresponding to the FormPresentation entry. The file referred by FORMID must exist in the CONFIGURATIONDEFINTION table.
  • The default MailPresentation parameter is retrieved from the MAILTEMPLATEID column.
  • The default ReassignMailPresentation parameter is retrieved from the REASSIGNMAILTEMPLATEID column.
  • The default DelegationMailPresentation parameter is retrieved from the DELEGMAILTEMPLATEID column.

The MAILTEMPLATEID, REASSIGNMAILTEMPLATEID, and DELEGMAILTEMPLATEID refer to entries stored in the WORKFLOWFORM table itself.

Note that the Form is defaulted during work item creation and the value is copied over. Hence, any changes to default does not affect the existing work items. However, for other inputs (mail templates), any changes to defaults affect existing work items as well.

Note: For all out of the box work item forms, seed data is populated to retain backward compatibility with previous releases.
