A temporary work object is a work object that is created and resolved by a single operator or through straight-through processing and never saved as a database object.

To create a temporary work object, select the Creates temporary object? check box on the flow that creates the object. (Alternatively, you can cause a work object can be designated as temporary by setting the standard property @baseclass.pyTemporaryObject to True as the work object is created.)

Temporary work objects can be used in screen flows and regular flows.

Restrictions

Use this feature only in appropriate situations, as reporting, history, and attachment features are not available for temporary work objects. Note these restrictions:

• Temporary work objects do not have a work object ID.
• Temporary work objects cannot be members of a cover.
• The Where-Am-I? display is not available for temporary work objects.
• History additions performed on such objects do not cause a flow to fail, but have no effect.
