Atlas — Standard properties in the Work- base class

Standard properties in the Work- base class form the basis of work objects. This table identifies several of these in alphabetical order, ignoring the first two characters of the name.

Many are optional or not applicable to specific applications. A few of these are essential control elements present in every work object. Properties marked () are computed by standard rules; don't set values for these properties in your application rules except in unusual situations where you intend to override the default computation.

A

Property	Purpose	More...
pyAckTimeStamp	Records the date and time that a work object was acknowledged.	acknowledgment
pyAgeFromDate	Basis of certain work item age calculations. Often set to be the date and time the work item was entered. Can hold a date and time distinct from and earlier than the work item entry date, if this value is needed later. For example, the date of mailing or letter date, for work items created by arriving postal mail.	age

pyElapsedPastDeadline	For resolved work items, records the elapsed time (in seconds) that the work item remains unresolved after the deadline time pySLADeadline.
pyElapsedPastGoal	For resolved work items, records the elapsed time (in seconds) that the work item remains unresolved after the goal time pySLAGoal.
pyElapsedStatusNew	Records the cumulative elapsed time (in seconds) that the pyStatusWork property has a value starting with New. Maintained automatically by a Declare Trigger rule.	status
pyElapsedStatusOpen	Records the cumulative elapsed time (in seconds) that the pyStatusWork property has a value starting with Open. Maintained automatically by a declare Trigger rule.	status
pyElapsedStatusPending	Records the cumulative elapsed time (in seconds) that the pyStatusWork property has a value starting with Pending. Maintained automatically by a declare Trigger rule.	pending status
pyEventID	Can hold an identifier text value that can link multiple, related work items together in situations where the cover or folder design approach is not suitable.

F G H I

Property	Purpose	More ...
pyFlowName	Second key part of a flow rule.
pxGoalTime	Computed goal date and time for resolution of this work item, based on a service level rule associated with the work item (rather than with an assignment) through the pySLAName property.	service level
pyID	Unique identifier (within an organization) of a work item, usually consisting of a prefix, a dash, a system-assigned sequence number, an optional dash, and an optional suffix. Appears on worklist. With class group name, forms the internal key of a work item.	Work item ID

pyResolvedTime	Sum, in seconds, of the time a work object held a status value starting with New, Pending, or Open. Computed and updated when a work item becomes resolved. Older values are retained within a page of the pyResolveSummary property.
pyResolvedTimeStamp	Date and time the work item was (most recently) resolved. Older values are retained within a page of the pyResolveSummary property.	resolution
pyResolvedUserID	Operator ID of the operator or other requestor) who most recently resolved the work item. Older values are retained within a page of the pyResolveSummary property. For work items resolved by an agent, the value is system.
pyResolvedUserWorkgroup	Work group of the operator or other requestor who (most recently) resolved the work item. Older values are retained within a page of the pyResolveSummary property. For work items resolved by an agent this property is normally undefined.	work group
