Change the work type (class) of the work item to a different type in the same work pool, re-editing property values as required. This can be used to correct an incorrect work type. For example, a work item initially recorded with a SuspendDelivery work type may actually be a CancelSubscription work type.
Change the work type of the current work item to another work type in the current application (work pool) by selecting that work type from a selection box. For example, a work item initially entered as an Unclassified work type may, after more information becomes available, be classified as a Renewal work type.
toPDF
Converts an existing work item attachment that has a DOC file type, created by Microsoft Word, into a new work item attachment with a PDF file type.
Select the attachment category containing the DOC file to start the conversion. The newest file attachment in that category is selected. Conversion may take several seconds.
Conversion occurs on the user's Windows workstation using a Windows print driver from Amyuni Technologies. This driver is installed upon first use of this feature; it remains installed but is not available to other workstation applications. This feature requires the open authoring ActiveX control prOpenAuthoring, and may require limited administrative privileges for the download/installation. For more information, see Working with PDF Forms and Documents, a PDF file available in the Integration area of the PDN.

Verify previously created but unsent correspondence.

External
Similar to EnterInformation, but allows an external user to enter a note.
Save a work item without validation; the validate activity is not called.
Allows users to query the Microsoft Outlook calendars of other operators. Typically you use GetAppointmentList and SendMeetingRequest (see below) together. The operators would use GetAppointmentList first to determine whether another operator is available at a specific time and then use SendMeetingRequest to make the appointment.
Users must have Outlook installed on their workstations and there's a one-time setup step. The first time a user selects either GetAppointmentList or SendMeetingRequest, Pega 7 Platform uses an ActiveX control (PegaOutlookAddInCaller) to register with Outlook. The user must then restart Outlook. See PDN article Integrating with Outlook calendars.
