Flow form
Associating a service level with
an assignment
|
|
You can associate a service level rule with an assignment task. The service level can define a goal and a deadline times for processing this assignment, and can execute activities if the goal or the deadline is not met. This assignment-level service level is distinct from any service level associated with the entire flow.
At runtime, an internal countdown clock (measuring the completion of the assignment against the goal and deadline times computed from the service level rule) starts when the assignment task is created.
A user who receives an assignment is expected to complete it before the goal time interval is reached.
While editing a flow rule in Visio, you can add a service level rule to an existing assignment. See How to add a service level to an assignment.
Click the assignment task shape (
) to
open the Assignment Properties panel. Complete the
Service Level field.

Click Apply when finished.
After you identify a service level, a clock appears at the right the assignment shape in the flow diagram.
Optionally, your application can allow all users or selected users to change or remove the service level rule associated with a specific assignment, through a local flow action included with the assignment shape. Copy and adapt the standard flow action Work-.ChangeWorkSLA as needed. Include the action as a choice in the flow, and then ensure that the appropriate users have an associated privilege to see and choose it.
Optional. Select the name — second key
part — of a service level rule to associate the
service level with this assignment.
