On one side you have the simple workflow rule which adds an option to every document, on the other side one can add scripts as a rule.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'm trying to build a backup JavaScript (as seen in the example in the WIKI) that creates a backup folder if none exists and adds a copy to this folder.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Problem is that I don't want this to happen when a document is added, removed or updated. Documents only need to be copied when the user requests this. So I would like to add the simple workflow but it should start a script instead of the copy/move it's using now. Any ideas? I can do this with the simple workflow but the backup subspace is not there when it's the first document to backup.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Some possible workaround: the user can add a new category "backup" to the document and I create a space rule that executes the backup script when a document is updated but only if it has the "backup" category applied. This strategy should work but the user needs at least 8 clicks to add this category, the "2 click simple workflow + script execution" way sounds much nicer.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I short: trigger a script with the simple workflow rule. New feature, some other ways around this? Comments are welcome.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 16 Jun 2006 16:12:58 GMT simon 2006-06-16T16:12:58Z https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/trigger-a-script-from-the-simple-workflow/m-p/38922#M20682 Alfresco,I would like to join 2 nice rule features.
