[ejml]

Hello Folks!

Will Could I see the user that's performed the last step on my Workflow on "my task to do" in Alfresco 2.0?.

Thanks.

[davidc]

You've asked this before!

[ejml]

Yes, but you told me:

I've added a JIRA enhancement to automatically track who assigned a
task

Do you remember it?, for this reason I ask again.

Greetings!!

[davidc]

I see.

It's reported under http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AR-1127

It hasn't been implemented in v2.0.

[ejml]

Thanks David. Then I will try to implement it with your instruction, but Could You help me with:

I have problems when I modify the review_processdefinition.xml and workflowModel.xml directly. Is there other way to do this.

For Example, I don't see the change done since the moment.

greetings!!

Hi David, I have tried to implement the workflow with your instruction but it doesn't work, the field appear empty. I like Alfreso as Document Management and I want implement this system on my enterprise but this question is great importance for my chiefs and they want this funtionality. After I want to pressure to buy a enterprise licence because I believe that it's necessary but I need some to convice.

Please Help me to implement Alfresco on my enterprise

These are the files that I have modified following the David's instruction:

Thanks in advance!!

[davidc]

I've done as much as I can on this forum.  I've given a complete example.

Hi David.

I can that you are doing very much for me. The problem is that I'm novice in Alfresco, but step by step I will learn about this system. I have been consulting the Alfresco documentation and I haven't redeploy the modifications on processreview and the workflowmodel, I think that this is the problem.

Can I redeploy a workflow out-of-box like "Review & approval" using the workflowdeployer bean, with the property redeploy set true.

Thanks
