Workflows in HR-app

[tobix10]

Can I check how workflows work in hr application from workdesk-community?

I set up alfresco as docs says:
1. added BPM to EcmAdapter
2. applied amp ow_webscript

On
http://{ALFRESCO_SERVER}:{PORT}/alfresco/service/index/package/com/wewebu/ecm/alfresc
o/ws
I see this script installed.

I've created workflow in share(review some file from one dossier), but it doesn't seem to work in workdesk.

<blockquote>1. You could configure the "Forward" plugin in Workdesk, which enables you to forward the task to another users inbox after you launched it by running the plugin on the task in your own inbox.</blockquote>
I added Forward plugin and also set up Inbox with no StartupFolder as I read that is optional.
There is access to Forward plugin from context menu in BPM plugin, but I don't have anything in Inbox such as other user(this user who is suppose to take step in workflow).

Sorry, but you got me wrong. When I was talking about inbox I actually ment the inbox in the BPM plugin. There is no need to setup any "inbox" plugin. Procedure is similar to the following:

1) Launch workflow with user A
2) Go to BPM plugin with user A, where new launched task appears in inbox list
3) Use "Forward" plugin to forward the task to user B
4) Log out and log in with user B
5) User B will now have the task in the inbox of his BPM plugin

I created inbox because I thought that task will appear there, but it is not in inbox and not in BPM plugin(User B).

Could you attach your used owbootstrap.xml and owplugins.xml?

[tobix10]

Yes, sure.

Problem assigning tasks: The rest API of Alfresco Activiti, which is used by Workdesk, does not provide a service for "assign task" currently. Therefore, Workdesk just sets the "cmwner" property of the task. Unfortunately, this property is set to read-only now (I just tested this with Alfresco 4.1.5) and can´t be overwritten anymore. I created an internal Jira. But as I told earlier, the Workdesk engineers are currently working close together with the Activiti engineers to play even better together with the upcoming 4.2 release.

So the only way to assign a task in the meanwhile is to code it in a task listener, which is activated when going from one step to another step for example. Will give feedback as soon as I know more here.

Have a great weekend.
