Workflow Editor Web Part

Workflow Editor Web Part¶

The Workflow Edit Web Part is a generic property editor, complete with commands and state display.

Features of the Workflow Edit Part include:

Works in conjunction with a Workflow Configuration Xml file to display properties. If the Workflow Configuration Xml file is not found, then displays the Properties on a best guess basis.
Using the Workflow Configuration Xml file, displays Properties according to the type of Form Element specified. In the example,
The On Loan To and Name properties are displayed in a Text Box. This allows modification of the property.
The Description property is displayed in a multi-line Text Box. This allows modification of the property.
Timestamps are displayed as a read-only property.
The Notes of the Workflow are displayed in a tree view (none shown here). An action method is used to add a note to the workflow. (See Workflow Commands Part.)
The Tags of the system are displayed in a Drop Down List. The Tags associated with the Workflow are displayed in the tree view. Tags are added to the Workflow by selecting one from the Drop Down List. Tags are removed from the Workflow by selecting the Remove action from the tree view.
