Workflow Engine function assignModerator takes the following arguments:
Name | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
user | yes | string | The User ID or User Name to assign as owner. |
Example
The following example demonstrates typical use of Workflow Engine function assignModerator. To assign a specific user, set user field to the User ID. For example "support":
The UI translates the settings to the following JSON:
{"user":"support"}The Workflow Engine assigns all in-scope Situations in scope to the moderator “support”.
If you have populated the workflow context with the User Name or User ID, you can retrieve the owner from context. For example if the workflow context contains the following:
"userName" : "support"
You can specify the workflow context path in the user field as workflowContext.userName.
{"user":"workflowContext.username"}In this case, the Workflow Engine retrieves the username "support" from the workflow context and assigns and the Situations accordingly.
If at least one alert or situation is assigned and acknowledged to a user, the action returns true. Otherwise it returns false.
