Example
The following example demonstrates typical use of Workflow Engine function assignAndAcknowledge. To assign and acknowledge with 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 and acknowldeges all alerts or Situations in scope to the “support” user.
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 acknowledges the alerts and Situations accordingly.
If at least one alert or situation is assigned and acknowledged to a user, the action returns true. Otherwise it returns false.
