How to add global counter variable in workflow

[purohitsumit]

Hi All,

I am trying to add a custom workflow and want to assign it a sequential auto-increment number.
What is correct way of adding it. ?


I don't want to use "task-id" as its number may get updated by various other task where as I only want to increment counter only if my custom workflow is called.

Thanks

Could you please elaborate more on your requirement? Do you want to maintain a counter number in order to identify how many workflow instances have been initiated for your custom workflow or you are trying to achieve something else.

Hi Ramesh,

Let me try elaborate my requirement.

I have a custom workflow called "ABC". I want to assigned a number (starting from 1) to it every time this workflow is called by any user. This way every instance of workflow "ABC" get an id.

thanks

Each time a workflow gets initiated, the workflow process instance gets assigned a unique workflow instance id - workflowid. Have you checked that or still you want to separately maintain a coutner for your workfow?
