Email

An activity that specifies an email notification.

Design-Time Properties

(Name)

ReadOnly

Default value: Email.xxx

The display name of the AgileShape.

(UID)

ReadOnly

Default value: Email.xxx

The ID that uniquely identifies this AgileShape from all others within the same process template.

Description

Optional

NOTE: This property is ignored at runtime.

A description of the AgileShape. This property is primarily used as a means of recording additional notes, comments, and details about this AgileShape in order to make the process template more understandable to process modelers.

Deferred Time

Default value: 0 Minute(s)

Specifies the amount of additional time that should be allowed to pass before the email notification is sent.

NOTE: If the Length sub-property is 0, the email notification will be sent without any delay. This property (and its sub-properties) are very similar to the TimeSpan property.

BusinessTime

Default value: False

Determines whether the time span represents normal time, or business hours only. This property can be set to the following specific values:

• True
  When set to this value, the time span represents a span of business hours only. E.g. 5 Days of business time would normally be equivalent to 7 Days of normal time, and 8 hours of business time would normally be equivalent to 24 hours of normal time. As an example, if business hours are configured as 9am to 5pm and a Manual AgileShape activity with a TimeSpan of 6 Business Hours is entered at 4pm on Tuesday, then the activity must be completed by 2pm on Wednesday.

• False
  When set to this value, the time span represents a normal (absolute) time span, and is unaffected by any business time configuration settings.

Length

Default value: 10

The number of time units represented by the time span.

Time Unit

Default value: Minute

The type of time unit represented by the time span. This property can be set to the following specific values:

• Second

• Minute

• Hour

• Day

• Week

• Month

EMail

The name of an Email Template that should be used to generate an automatic email notification when this AgileShape is entered at runtime.

Audit Level

Default value: High

This property determines the amount of process related data that is recorded to the workflow database. This property can be set at either the Process Template Properties layer or at the individual AgileShape layer. This property allows you to control the level of granularity in terms of the amount of process related data that is recorded to the workflow database. This property can be set to the following specific values:

• High
  
  This value indicates that AgilePoint will record all data about the activity or process to the database.

• Low
  
  This value indicates that AgilePoint will only allow a certain amount of data to be recorded to the database. This option provides a level of control over the granularity of AgilePoint process-related data that is stored in the AgilePoint workflow database, giving some flexibility in the audit trail records by filtering out unnecessary data.
  
  

Wait All Incoming

NOTE: This property is ignored at runtime unless the AgileShape has multiple In-Connectors.

Default value: False

When an AgileShape has multiple direct predecessors (i.e. it has multiple In-Connectors leading directly from other AgileShapes), this property determines how many of the predecessor AgileShapes must be exited (at runtime) before this AgileShape can be entered (at runtime). This property can be set to the following specific values:

• False
  This value indicates that the AgileShape will be entered (at runtime) as soon as any one of the AgileShape’s direct predecessors are exited (at runtime).
  
  NOTE: This value is functionally equivalent to using the Or AgileShape (with Exclusive property set to False) between this AgileShape and its direct predecessors.

• True (Dynamic)
  This value indicates that the AgileShape will be entered (at runtime) only after all of the AgileShape’s “enterable” direct predecessors are exited (at runtime). If any of the direct predecessors are un-enterable (e.g. they will never be entered in this process instance because conditional logic in the process bypassed them) and therefore un-exitable, then those predecessors are not required to be exited before this AgileShape is entered.
  
  NOTE: This value is functionally equivalent to using the And AgileShape (with the Dynamic property set to True) between this AgileShape and its direct predecessors.

• True
  (Static) This value indicates that the AgileShape will be entered (at runtime) only after all of the AgileShape’s direct predecessors are exited (at runtime).
  
  NOTE: This value is functionally equivalent to using the And AgileShape (with the Dynamic property set to False) between this AgileShape and its direct predecessors.
  
  NOTE: If any of the direct predecessors are un-enterable (see above), then this AgileShape will never be entered, and the process instance may be permanently delayed at this AgileShape.
