Sometimes we need a identity selection page in a workflow when we click on a quick link. By default, it does not show the identity selection page if you write the quick link as a independent object. But if you write the same quick link in the System Configuration ( going to debug page ), the quick link will allow you to select an identity. There is a post, Avoid choose identity, which discusses how to avoid this page but my content describes how you can include this.
Here is a piece of code which will give you the the opportunity to select an identity.
<QuickLink action="workflow" category="YOUR_CATEGORY_NAME" messageKey="YOUR_QUICKLINK_DISPLAY" name="YOUR QUICKLINK_NAME">
<Attributes>
<Map>
<entry key="forceAllowOthers" value="true"/>
<entry key="hideAllowSelf" value="true"/>
<entry key="workflowName" value="YOUR_WORKFLOW_NAME"/>
<entry key="workflowSuccess" value="WORKFLOW_SUCCESS_MESSAGE"/>
</Map>
</Attributes>
</QuickLink>
The white paper Quicklinks.pdf discusses in detail about the forceAllowOthers and hideAllowSelf but this but my article is just a quick solution of getting identity selection page in a workflow.
However, in 7.0 the identity selector is much simple. It's like:
<DynamicScope name="YOUR_SCOPE_NAME">
<Selector>
<IdentitySelector>
<MatchExpression>
<MatchTerm name="location" value="LOCATION_NAME"/>
</MatchExpression>
</IdentitySelector>
</Selector>
</DynamicScope>
For more examples including filter strings in identity selection are best described on QuickLinks
Hope this helps.
