The LRT ContractStartNotificationTask can sends an email notification to holders of a specified role, manager, owner of starting contract. The recipients of the notification can be modified in the LRT setup and the notification template can be modified as well.

There are three different notifications this LRT can send:

1. notification sent a specified number of days before the start of identity's contract
2. notification sent the day that identity's contract starts
3. notification sent a specific number of days after the start of identity's contract

Each notification can use a different notification template (and must use a different topic).

You can create your own template by modifying the stubs. You have these objects available:

• userIdentity - full IdmIdentityDto
• user - full name as String
• department - department from tree node as String
• manager - full IdmIdentityDto of user's manager
• identityUrl - URL to user's dashboard
• identityEav - user's EAV as list of IdmFormInstanceDto
• identityEavMap - user's EAV as Map of name of EAV and it's value as String
• identityContract - user's contract as IdmIdentitycontractDto
• rolesAllNames - list of all user's roles as names, sorted alphabeticaly
• rolesAllDto - list of all user's roles as IdmRoleDto
• rolesDirectNames - list of directly assigned user's roles as names
• rolesAutoNames - list of automaticly assigned user's roles as names
• accounts - list of users accounts on end system
• daysBefore - number of days which is set in configuration of LRT
• ppvStart - start of contract as String

The LRT can be configred in multiple ways, so it can be used for example

• Notification before some user will start working
• In the day when the user is starting as welcome email
• Number of days after the user starded so the manager can check his roles

Behavior for module version < 3.5.0

The task sends notifications exactly according to the number of days before/after the start of identity's contract. Therefore, the task must be scheduled to run every day. Also, the contracts must be created in IdM soon enough. If a new contract was created and its start was already set to e.g. a week ago, then the notification e.g. 3 days before the start of the contract would not be sent. The same holds for filtering by the accounts on systems - if a user doesn't have an account on the day of the start of the contract, then the notification wouldn't be sent that day and never afterwards.

Behaviour for >= 3.5.0

For all use cases below the notification will be send

• The notification is set to "number of days before start" = 3 and runs every day after HR synchronization
• Contract A starts on 1.4. and it exists in IdM for several weeks.
• Contract B starts on 1.4., but it's created in IdM on 31.3.
• Contract C starts on 1.4., but it's created in IdM on 2.4.
  All three contracts comply with the additional filters of the notification since their beginning.
• Contract D starts on 1.4., it exists in IdM long before that, but it complies with the additional filter later (e.g.: System=AD and the AD account for the user is not created until 5.4.)
