Temporary work item

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

Temporary work items 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 items. Note these restrictions:

• Temporary work items do not have a work item ID.
• Temporary work items cannot be members of a cover.
• History additions performed on such objects do not cause a flow to fail, but have no effect.
