Workflow properties are used to tailor Workflow capabilities according to enterprise
requirements.
To edit workflow properties:
- Log into the Classic UI.
- Open the Feature bar, open Content, open the repository's folder, select the repository, select Edit, and select Workflow Properties.
-
The Workflow Properties window will appear. The Workflow Properties
are:
- Workflow Enabled: When enabled, the repository has the ability to link to an EPX Process Flow.
- Synchronous Submission: This will be checked by default. When checked, the user interface will wait for the submission to process before rendering. Typically, when a submission is large or requires time to interface with other systems, this option will not be checked so that the submission is asynchronous and the user interface will not wait for a submission to complete before rendering.
-
Process Name, Starting Point, and Work Item Name are the default
work item configurations used when a work item is automated.
- Process Name: EnterWorks uses the Process Name value to locate the EPX Process Name so that it knows where to send a work item.
- Starting Point: EnterWorks uses the Starting Point value to locate the starting point for an EPX process flow.
- Work Item Name: EnterWorks uses the Work Item Name to give a default name to an automated work item.
- Default Submitting EPX User: EnterWorks will log into EPX as the specified user when an automated work item is submitted.
- Submit Multiple Selected Records as a Single Work Item: When this option is checked, multiple records can be submitted as a single, multi-record work item to an EPX process flow. When this option is unchecked, multiple records will be submitted as individual work items.
- Lock Record from Edit: When this option is checked, any record that is part of a work item is locked for all users, except for certain user roles when the work item is at an activity for that role.
- Custom Condition Class: Allows EnterWorks Workflow to call out to customized JAVA classes that define customer specific processes.
- Validate After Any Update: Works in conjunction with Attributes to Update and only runs for a new submission. Upon submission of a work item, all attributes listed in the Attributes to Update table will be updated with the specified value.
- Attributes to Update: When a work item is submitted, the attributes listed here will be set to the specified value.
- Workflow Properties to Submit: This option only applies to single record work items. It allows an administrator to associate properties with a work item and gives the administrator the ability to specify either literal values or dynamic values retrieved from a repository's profile.
- When you are finished editing the Workflow Properties, click Save.
