R2274: Auto-assignment to User/Organization Type via EL Syntax

 

The following are configuration formats for setting User-type/Organization-type data via EL Syntax. They are available for updating the data of User-type/Organization-type data items in [Update Data] or setting the values for each Task. In addition to setting a particular user or a particular organization, the following references are available: reference to the user registered with the email addresses that matches a specified string, reference to the organization with the name that matches a specified string, reference to the process start user, reference to the organization to which a specified user mainly belongs, and the parent/child organization of a specified organization.

Assignment to User-type Data Items

A Quser object (QuserView) or a string can be assigned to User-type data items. However, a string is treated as an email address, and if a user registered with that email address exists, the user is specified as a user.

A Particular User

Format	Result
'[e-mail]'	A user whose registered email address is [e-mail]

If there is no user registered with the email address that matches the specified string, the process fails.

Referencing Workflow Variables

Process

processInstanceInitQuser

The user who started the process

If there is no corresponding user, the User-type data item is overwritten with a blank.

Referencing a String-type Data Item

#q_string

A user whose registered email address is the same as the string specified in q_string

If there is no user registered with the email address that matches the referred string, the process fails.

Referencing a User/Organization Type Data Item

#q_user_other

A user specified in another User-type data item,  q_user_other

If there is no corresponding user, the User-type data item is overwritten with a blank.

Assignment to Organization-type Data Items

Qgroup objects (QgroupView) or a string can be assigned to Organization-type data items. However, a string is treated as an organization name, and if the corresponding organization name exists, it will be specified as that organization. If there is no corresponding organization, the organization type data item is overwritten with a blank.

A Particular Organization

Format	Result
'Sales Department'	Sales Department

If there is no organization with a name that matches the specified string, the process fails.

Referencing a String-type Data Item

#q_string

The organization whose name is the same as the string specified in q_string

If there is no organization with a name that matches the referred string, the process fails.

Referencing a User/Organization Type Data Item

Format	Result
#qgroupDao.findPrimaryQgroup(#q_user)	Sales Department 1 (The organization to which the user specified in the user-type data item, q_user, primarily belongs.)
#q_group_other	Product Development Department (Organization specified in another Organization-type data item, q_group_other.)
#qgroupDao.findParentQgroup(#q_org)	Sales and Marketing Division (Parent organization of the organization specified in the Organization-type data item, q_org.)

Note: In the example above, the user specified in q_user belongs to "Sales Department 1", q_org is also specified as "Sales Department 1" whose parent organization is "Sales and Marketing Division", and q_group_other is specified as "Product Development Department".

If there is no corresponding organization, the Organization-type data item is overwritten with a blank.
