10.2.2 Data Items

Data items are not supported with this activity.

10.2.3 Email Template

To enable email notification for the Finish activity, you must specify the email template to use, as well as source expressions for target tokens in the email body.

Table 10-4 E-Mail Notification Settings for the Finish Activity

Setting	Description
E-Mail Template	Specifies the name of the email template to use. By default, the Finish activity uses the “Provisioning Approval Completed Notification” template. You can edit an email template from the console. See Editing an email template: for more information.
Notify	Specifies that this email message is a notification email.
Show Default Tokens	Displays the following default tokens: TO CC BCC REPLYTO TO_DN CC_DN BCC_DN
Source	Specifies the source expressions for target tokens in the email body.
Target	The list of target tokens is determined by the selected email template. You cannot add new tokens, but you can assign values to the predefined tokens by building your own source expressions. At runtime, the source expressions are evaluated to determine the value of each token. The available target tokens for the “Provisioning Approval Completed Notification” email template are listed below: TO CC BCC REPLYTO TO_DN CC_DN BCC_DN requestStatus requestSubmissionTime requestID recipientFullName initiatorFullName requestTitle If you use a provisioning request definition template to create your workflow, each token has a default source expression. The default expressions retrieve values from the workflow process (the process object). You can modify these expressions to suit your application requirements. For details on building ECMA expressions, see Section 11.0, Working with ECMA Expressions.

NOTE:

Email notification is supported only when the Notify participants by E-Mail check box is selected on the Overview tab, and the Notify by E-Mail property for the Approval activity is set to “True”.
If you create an activity using any of the target tokens TO_DN, CC_DN, or BCC_DN, you must specify a user’s DN or an expression that resolves to a user’s DN as the source expression for the token.
If you create an activity using both the target tokens TO and TO_DN, the workflow sends duplicate notification emails to the target users.
