Abstract

This tip shows how to turn off workflow notifications in a user's Inbox by modifying a configuration parameter in WDK

Process

The start workflow operation is done asynchronously. Once the operation completes, the system sends a notification to the user inbox.

  • To disable the notification, please customize (extend in your custom folder) the following file: VIRTUAL_ROOT/webcomponent/config/library/workflow/startwfcontainer/startwfcontainer_component.xml
  • Look for: 

    <asynchronous>true</asynchronous>

  • Change it to: 

    
<asynchronous sendnoticeonfinish="false">true</asynchronous>

  • Reload the configuration files using: http://SERVER:PORT/VIRTUAL_ROOT/wdk/refresh.jsp or restart the app server.
