Content Server Workflows - SmartUI Workflow Status and Assignment

Now we are in the SmartUI area of Workflows.

Workflow Status in SmartUI

Shows a WFStatusView. The WFStatusView provides, status of workflow assignments as given through the page context in doughnut chart. The doughnut shaped chart displays the sole status of all the workflows related to the page context, either on time, late or complete. Clicking on each doughnut segment or on the expanded icon opens the expanded view of My assignments with corresponding list of assignments.

Workflow Status Example

 var contentRegion = new Marionette.Region({el: '#content'}),
          pageContext = new PageContext(), // holds the model
          wfstatusView = new WFStatusView({context: pageContext});

      contentRegion.show(wfstatusView);
      pageContext.fetch();        

Constructor

Creates a new WFStatusView.

Parameters:

• "options" - Object The view's options object.
• "options.connection" - Connection to authenticate against.
• "options.connection.url" - String url to authenticate against.
• "options.connection.supportPath" - String support path directory.

Workflow Assignment

Workflow Assignments are active workflows which are assigned to a user.

A click on an assignment opens the workflow user interface in the Classic UI or in the Smart View, depending on the workflow step configuration. This configuration is done for each User / Initiator Step in the workflow design.

Workflow Assignments can be accessed via the My Assignments list / widget in the Classic UI and in the Smart View.

Starting workflows

The workflows in the Smart View are accessible via dedicated URLs

• For running workflows the following URL is defined:   .../processes/<process_id>/<subprocess_id>/<task_id>
• For workflows in the initiation phase the following URL is defined:   .../draftprocesses/<draftprocess_id>

The differentiation is necessary, because a workflow in the initiation phase behaves differently as a running workflow.

These URLs are also used in the email notifications for workflows which are configured for the Smart View.
