Write Journal Entry – Action Description

Write Journal Entry is intended to create a new item related with a given item in the journal. The new journal window will be automatically opened to the user that is performing the workflow status change and the user can insert additional information about the workflow status change (e. g. reason for leave rejection)

Entry Title	Enter the journal name.
Entry Type	Select the journal type.
Priority	Set the priority of the entry.
Description	Add more detailed information about the journal entry.

System variables can be used in fields during action creating. For more information, go to System Variables Available in Actions.

Note: The Journal created by the Write Journal Entry action is marked as a system, which means that the default fields cannot be edited.

If you wish to save the currently defined action for future use in a different workflow, you can do it via Template > Export. If you have already defined actions of the Write Journal Entry type and you have already exported them from earlier workflow editing, you can reuse them via the menu Template > Import. More information about the import and export of workflow actions can be found in the chapter: Import and Export of Workflow Action Definitions.

Example: Display the Journal in Which the User Gives the Reason for the Leave Rejection

Entry Type	Journal type, e. g. Note.
