8.3.6 Extending User Properties in Process Workspace

Extended user properties are used in defining organization roles, which are described in Section 8.3.5, Managing Organization Roles in Process Workspace. . Typically, users have some properties specified in Oracle Internet Directory or some other LDAP directory. Often, however, additional properties specific to their organization and roles are necessary. At times, these properties are added on demand when newer business processes are created. At that time, it might not be possible to extend the company’s global LDAP directory. In these cases, extended user properties are useful. For example, you can specify that a given user with the sales representative role is located in California. Although, from a functional point of view, there is only one role, the individual user is associated with a property, and that property has a value assigned for that user. Figure 8–6 shows the Extended User Properties page. 8-12 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Oracle Business Process Management Figure 8–6 Extended User Properties Extended user properties can be assigned to users, groups, or roles. When you create extended user properties, you define the following: ■ Property name ■ Property type, which can be of the following data types: string, number, date and free form text. String data types are enumerated values. Free form strings can have any value. ■ Enumeration in case of a string data type. Note that only string-typed properties can be assigned values at the time of definition and only those values can be assigned to users when the property is associated with a user. After properties are defined, they can be associated with any user. During association, values must be assigned to the property for that user Only users who have Administrator privileges can define new properties. To add extended user properties: 1. From the Process Workspace toolbar, select Administration. The Administration Areas panel appears.

2. In the Organization panel, click Extended User Properties. The Extended User

Properties page appears in the right pane.

3. In the Properties pane, click Add Property. Property fields appear in the table.

An Extended User Property has the following fields: ■ Name—The name can be any user defined string that is meaningful to the user or the company. Case does not matter. The system will convert all names to uppercase. ■ Type—The type field is a drop-down list from which the user must select the data type of the values that the property is expected to hold when it is associated with various users in the organization. ■ Value—The value field is meaningful only when the property is assigned the data type string because only string typed properties can be assigned
