Class WorkItem

java.lang.Object
  wt.fc.WTObject
      wt.workflow.work.WorkItem

All Implemented Interfaces:

DisplayIdentification, Externalizable, NetFactor, ObjectMappable, Ownable, Persistable, Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

ProjectWorkItem

public class WorkItem

extends WTObject

implements Ownable, Externalizable

The WorkItem class represents discreet units of work owned by principals. If the work item is owned by a group, any member of the group may satisfy the work requirement.

A work item has an associated task which is accessed through a URL. The task provides a context to help the user complete the work item.

The WorkflowService should be used to mark work items complete instead of directly calling setComplete.

Use the newWorkItem static factory method(s), not the WorkItem constructor, to construct instances of this class. Instances must be constructed using the static factory(s), in order to ensure proper initialization of the instance.
