Hello Keerthi,

To do this changes please follow below steps,

Step 1 : Check the view name in the iView property named as "uwl_viewname".

Step 2 : if this is standard UWL iView then view name must be "Default".

Step 3 : Move to the xml file named as "uwl.standard", open it and search for the above view.

Step 4 : Here change the property named as "Selection" to "Multiselect". and upload the changed xml with medium priority.

or

Step 4 : This can also be done by adding one column of checkbox in view to do this, view definition need to be changed, in this case add below xml code in view definition in downloaded xml,

<DisplayAttributes>

<DisplayAttribute name=<Action Name for Forward> type="checkbox" width="" sortable="no" format="default" actionRef="Forward" referenceBundle=<reference Bundle for forward> hAlign="CENTER" vAlign="BASELINE" maxTextWidth="0" headerVisible="yes"/>

</DisplayAttributes>

in the above code change the action name and reference name accordingly for which action you want to perform this.

And in the bottom of the view definition, add Submit Decision button to perform on the selected multiple workitems, code is as follows,

<Action reference="refresh"/>

<Action reference="defaultGlobalWizard"/>

<Action reference="submitUserDecisions"/>

And as per my knowledge this is proper way to do this.

Step 5 : After doing above changes upload xml with medium priority and clear UWL cache.

Step 6 : check the UWL iView and functionality

Above should work with what you want to achieve, please let me know if this works....

Hi Tisha,

Have you changed the name of the xml after chnages? If not, try changing the name of the xml and upload it with medium priority.

Hi Tisha,

You wont be able to forward multiple work items on one go as every work items would have its own purpose and should go to designated assignee.

Hence, you will be able to forward only one workitem at one time.

Hi Pranesh ,

Suppose if the work item is of same type   for example  we   need to do a mass approval or rejection by selecting multiple items at a time. Can we do it ?

Is it possible to  have   a check box to select multiple items and then we will have a button  in the UWL to   approve /reject / forward .

Can this be achieved by step 4 explained in bhavin response .

Hi Tisha,

This can only be possible only when you provide the column of check box to select/check multiple workitems and then there will the button at the bottom named as  "submit Decision", and with this multiple items can be forwarded, please let me know for further information for the same.
