Create Pseudo Work Item

Description

Creates a task by a specific AgileWork or other module that has the following characteristics:

It does not have to be completed in order for a process to advance to the next steps.
Unless specifically canceled, it remains active through the duration of the entire process, not just the duration of the AgileWork or other module that created it.

This provides a way for tasks to be included in a user's or manager's task list purely for monitoring purposes.

Syntax

public virtual WFEvent CreatePseudoWorkItem(string sourceWorkItemID, string workToPerform, string userID, WFTimeDuration duration, string clientData, bool reserved)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
sourceWorkItemID	string	A unique, 32-character ID for the original, or source, work item.
workToPerform	string	A string that specifies the work to perform.
userID	string	A string that contains a user ID for the user associated with the work item.
duration	WFTimeDuration	A time-duration object that specifies the duration setting of the work item.
clientData	string	A string that contains the client data. If clientData is null, the system will keep existing client data, otherwise the relevant data would be overwritten.

Output

IWFWorkflowService svc = base.GetWorkflowService();

// get existing work item
string workItemID = ..// for example, "90CF843AC57644058A391FBFA030F607"

try
	{
    // Get the source WFManualWorkItem object
    WFManualWorkItem sourceWorkItem = svc.GetWorkItem(workItemID
    string workToPerform = sourceWorkItem.Name; //different
    workToPerform can be used if desired
    WFTimeDuration duration = new WFTimeDuration("15", WFTimeUnit.DAY, false);
    string user = @"[DOMAIN NAME]\username"; //the participant of the linked work item
    WFEvent evt = svc.CreatePseudoWorkItem (
             sourceWorkItem.WorkItemID,
