   To Access the Oracle Workflow Self-Service Home Page

1. Use a web browser to navigate to the self-service home page, using a responsibility and navigation path specified by your system administrator. See: Oracle Workflow User Navigation Paths.

2. To set your Oracle E-Business Suite general preferences, including language and notification preferences, select the Preferences button. See: Set Preferences, Oracle Applications User's Guide.

3. The Notifications region of the home page lists your five highest priority notifications, ordered by priority and then by date. For each notification, the list displays the from role, workflow type, subject, sent date, and due date. Select the From, Type, Subject, Sent, or Due column heading to sort the list by that column.

• To view and respond to a notification, select the notification subject link in the Subject column. See: To View the Details of a Notification.

• To define vacation rules, select the Vacation Rules link. See: To View and Maintain Vacation Rules.

• To grant access to your worklist to another user, select the Worklist Access link. See: To Grant Access to Your Worklist.

• To view the complete list of all your notifications, select the Full List button. When the full list is displayed, the Notifications region also displays the View pull-down menu, the Open button, and the Reassign, Delegate, or Transfer button.

• To specify which notifications to display in the Worklist, select the type of notifications you want from the View pull-down menu and select Go. You can choose to view Open Notifications, FYI Notifications, To Do Notifications, All Notifications, or Notifications From Me. If you choose All Notifications, the list additionally displays the status for each notification. If you choose Notifications From Me, the list displays the recipient of each notification instead of the from role.

• To view and respond to a notification or a group of notifications, select the notification or notifications you want and select the Open button. If you select more than one notification to open, only one notification is displayed at a time. You can navigate among the open notifications by selecting the Next or Back buttons in the Notification Details page. See: To View the Details of a Notification.

• To collectively reassign a group of notifications, select the notifications you want and select the Reassign button, the Delegate button, or the Transfer button. The Reassign button appears if you have access to reassign notifications to another user either by delegating the notifications or by transferring complete ownership of the notifications. The Delegate button appears if you only have access to delegate the notifications. The Transfer button appears if you only have access to transfer ownership of the notifications. See: To Reassign a Notification to Another User and Setting the WF: Notification Reassign Mode Profile Option.

Note: Your workflow may include special logic to restrict reassignment of notifications. If any of the notifications that you selected are restricted in this way, Oracle Workflow displays an error message when you select the Reassign, Delegate, or Transfer button. In this case you should deselect the restricted notifications before performing the reassignment. See: #HIDE_REASSIGN Attribute.

4. The Status at a Glance region displays the five most recent workflows that you own and that were started within the last two weeks. For each workflow, the list displays the status, workflow type, workflow identifier, start date, and completion date. Select the Workflow Type, Workflow, or Started column heading to sort the list by that column.

• To view the error details for an errored workflow, select the error icon or the error link in the Status column. See: Viewing Error Information for a Workflow.
