Web Part: Jetfire Workflow Editor

Workflow Editor Web Part¶

Access¶

Web Part Features¶

• 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.
• Optional display of the state and user commands.
• A custom display of the Workflow is achieved using a combination of the Workflow Configuration File, Css Classes from the Style Sheet and custom labels.
• A Jetfire method is invoked when the workflow is saved.
