Customize people assignment criteria

You can also extend the set of predefined people assignment criteria by customizing your own criteria.

To create a customized people assignment criteria file, copy and modify one of the provided examples and then add your new version to your human task preferences.

1. Copy one of XML files that contain the people assignment criteria definitions to a location. These files must be extracted from

   com.ibm.wbit.tel.ui_ version_number.jar

   which can be found in the

    shared_resources/plugins

   directory (typically on Windows, the shared_resources directory is C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70Shared).

2. In the copied version of the file, make the necessary changes.
3. Restart IBM Integration Designer.

4. Add the new file to the workspace. From the main menu select File > Import > General > File System and then browse to the new file. In the Into folder field select any module or folder within a module, the new file only needs to be part of the workspace to be available. Click Finish.
5. Edit the human task preferences page and add a pointer to your customized XML file, optionally making it the default choice. See related tasks for details about setting human task preferences.

When you assign people to your task you should see your new people assignment criteria as an option.
