Basics
Appearance
The Workflow Editor basically features a Workflow Designer component that can be fed with UBIK® Workflow objects.
When a context object was set, the Workflow Editor
- either reads the Workflow relation of the context object, or
- loads its instances (if the context object is the MetaClass Workflow)
- loads the context object itself (if it is a Workflow object)
The result will be loaded into the Toolbar, where a Workflow object can be selected. Selecting one will load the Workflow into the designer surface.
Design vs view
Depending on the type of the context object, the Workflow Editor will either appear in design or in view mode. In the latter case the workflow is readonly and the activity toolbox is hidden. The Workflow Designer is in design mode, if
- The context object is the system MetaClass Workflow
- The context object is an Instance of the system MetaClass Workflow
For all other object types the Workflow Editor will be in view mode.
Drag & Drop
There is currently no Drag&Drop support other than the internal Drag&Drop of the Workflow Designer.
