You can have a summary of your workflow notifications delivered to you as a single e-mail message if your notification preference is set to 'Plain text summary mail' or 'HTML summary mail' in the User Preferences web page. You can receive a plain text e-mail notification summary using any e-mail reader. To receive an HTML e-mail notification summary, you must be using an e-mail reader that can interpret and display HTML formatting in the body of a message. Your workflow administrator determines how frequently summary notifications are sent when setting up a notification mailer. See: Setting Up Notification Mailers.
The plain text and HTML-formatted versions of the e-mail notification summary are based on the Workflow Summary Mail (HTML) template defined in the System: Mailer item type. The standard summary identifies the priority, from role, workflow type, subject, sent date, and due date of each notification. To view the details of a notification or respond to or close the notification, you should use the Worklist Web pages. In the HTML-formatted version of the summary, you can select a subject link to navigate directly to the Notification Details page for that notification. The HTML-formatted summary also includes a link to the Worklist page, from which you can access all your notifications.
Note: Depending on the configuration of your Oracle Workflow installation, if you are not already logged in, you may be prompted to log in before you can access the Worklist or Notification Details pages. Otherwise, if your configuration allows, you can access the Notification Details page for a notification directly, but you cannot access any other Oracle Workflow features unless you are logged in. See: Responses through the Notification Detail Link Attachment.
