| <h1>Work Flow Definition Artifact</h1> |
| <h2>Purpose</h2> |
| The Work Flow Definition artifact specifies the workflow that a team moves through to complete |
| an Action. This artifact specifies the states, their transitions and the start state of the |
| workflow. Creation/Editing of this artifact can either be done through the Artifact Editor |
| or using the Workflow Configuration Editor (OSEE 0.6.0 Release and beyond). |
| |
| <h2>How to do it - <a href="WorkflowConfigurationEditor.html">Configuration Editor</a></h2> |
| |
| <h2>How to do it - Artifact Editor</h2> |
| On the Common branch in the Artifact Editor, Expand "Action Tracking System" and right-click |
| on "Work Flows", select New Child -> Work Flow Definition. Enter a unique namespace name |
| for this workflow (eg: org.<company>.code). In the Artifact Editor, add and set the attributes |
| and relations as below. |
| <br><br> |
| <li>Attributes</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Name:[unique namespace, usually the same as the Work Id specified below]</li> |
| <li>osee.wi.Work Id:[unique workflow namespace] - this will preceed each state name |
| specified in the workflow.</li> |
| <li>osee.wi.Parent Work Id:[Work Id of Parent Work Flow Definition] - this will allow |
| this workflow to inherit it's transitions and start state from another workflow. This |
| can not be used with other attributes below</li> |
| <li>osee.wi.Start Page:[namespace.state name] - this specifies the name of the |
| initial state in the workflow</li> |
| <li>osee.wi.Transition:[[from state name];[transition type];[to state name]] - specifies |
| the transition from state to state where</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>[from state name]/[to state name]- unique Work Page Definition Work Id comprised of [namespace].[State Name]</li> |
| <li>[transition type] - one of the following:</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>ToPageAsDefault - Transition is "Default Transition" state</li> |
| <li>ToPage - Transition is optional transition to state</li> |
| <li>ToPageAsReturn - Optional transition to a previously visited state</li> |
| </ul> |
| </ul> |
| <li>osee.wi.Description:Optional attribute to add description of workflow</li> |
| </ul> |
| <li>Relations</li> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Work Item.Parent: Relate to any Team Definition configured to use this workflow.</li> |
| </ul> |
