Workflow Password Signature Mail Message

The Notification System uses the Workflow Password Signature Mail message as a default template for e-mail notifications that require a password-based electronic signature in the user's response. Users can only respond to such notifications through the Notification Details web page, where they can enter their Oracle Applications user name and password to authenticate the response. The notification template informs the recipient that a password-based signature is required and that the response cannot be submitted through e-mail. Instead, the notification template directs the recipient to access the online version of the notification to submit a reponse. It also includes the following information about a message: the name of the sender of the message, date that a response is due, and any comments from the sender or, if the notification is forwarded from another user, any comments from the forwarder.

Note: Password-based electronic signatures are currently supported only for the version of Oracle Workflow embedded in Oracle Applications.

The Workflow Password Signature Mail message has the following message attributes. The values are drawn from the message definition associated with a notification activity.

DUE_DATE	The date by which a response is required, specified in the notification activity.
BODY	The text of the body defined in the message.
NOTIFICATION	Required notification code used to identify the information in the notification. For notifications that require a password-based signature to be entered online, this notification code does not include the access key or node identifier information that would be needed for an e-mail response.
COMMENT	Comments added by the sender or the forwarder.
SENDER	The name of the sender of the message, as displayed in the From column in the Worklist. This attribute is not currently used.
SUBJECT	The subject line defined in the message.
HEADER	Standard header attributes and any custom header attributes defined to hold key information for the message. See: Header Attributes, Oracle Workflow Developer's Guide.
HISTORY	Any previous requests for more information about the notification and the responses to those requests.

You can customize the boilerplate text that appears in the body of the Workflow Password Signature Mail message, where attributes preceded by an ampersand (&) are token substituted with runtime values when the notification is sent.

The boilerplate text for a plain text message body is as follows:
