Customized workflow

roseta — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 18:32:03 GMT

I would like to use my customized advanced workflows in Alfresco Share. I've already achieved it in Alfresco, placing my xml files in the "extension" folder, but… how can I do it in Alfresco Share? Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to find my answer there, but it is too much information to assimilate at once… could you please be a little bit more specific? Thanks a lot!

The first link provides the most useful information. The jist of it is that you will be defining your workflow UI in share-config.custom.xml in the web-extension directory. The submit task and then each subsquent task needs to have a form definition that matches your custom workflow using the syntax described in the wiki. Even without defining a UI, the system will generate a default UI based on your workflow definition.
