GetActionableDocumentList API

An actionable document is a document that requires a user's attention. Currently there are two kinds of actionable documents. If you are a designated as a document reviewer and you have not yet viewed that document, that document is actionable for you. If you are designated as a document approver and you have not yet approved the document, the document is also actionable for you. Actionable documents appear at the top of a user's My Document queue to ensure they get the user's attention when they log in.

The GetActionableDocumentList API retrieves a list of documents that are actionable by the current user. If there are no documents that are actionable by the current user, the call returns an empty <documents> node.
