Customizing the rule in alfresco thru script

[irene08]

Good Day!
Is there any way that you could help me in customizing the rule in alfresco thru script? The scenario is this.. 'If the author change the status to completed, tagged file as approval'.


In Manage Rule, I created new rule and Define Rule…. WHEN— Items are updated
                                                                                 IF ALL CRITERIA ARE MET— Status equals completed
                                                                                 PERFORM ACTION— Link to Categoy 'Approval'

But it doesn't work. So I think I should customize it thru script.


Thank you,
Irene

Could you please clarify which status property the rule should fire on. bpm:status? pubublishingEventStatus?

There are a few.

If I'm not mistaken, the dl:taskStatus or the bpm:status. I really don't know the exact/right status property but the two properties that I mentioned is for workflow.

Thank you,

Is this correct?

When a workflow is marked complete you want the file associated with the workflow to be linked to the category (tag) approved?

Yes. Yes. You're right. Is there anything else that you want/need to ask?

No I understand your requirements now

However I think you have to do this the other way around. That is, you need to design and deploy a slightly modified version of the workflow you are using. This is because the bpm:status property is set on the workflow itself and not on your document. You will need to have the workflow tag your document.

Here is a great tutorial by Jeff Potts: http://ecmarchitect.com/images/articles/alfresco-workflow/advanced-workflow-article-2ed.pdf

Do you mean that I should create new file/javascript for this scenario? Is there a way that I can just add an if statement in an existing java file?

I already read that link. What page are you referring at?

Thank you,
Irene

Well, I'm not referring to one page in the tutorial, but the whole concept of creating workflows. I have not been creating workflows myself so I'm afraid I cant be more specific.
