<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> | |
