Power Tools™ for Workflow Version 2
GCI Power Tools™ for Workflow is a collection of advanced tools for dealing
with workflows. GCI Power Tools for Livelink Workflow feature complete control
by the workflow map designer over what is displayed to the step performer at
regular ‘User’ steps. For example, for a workflow with three forms,
a number of attributes, some comments and attachments, GCI Power Tools for Workflow
allow the map painter to specify how this data should be displayed. The map designer
can create a custom display form, like Webforms, to display all the data on one
page, multiple pages, or in multiple windows. This display is built from reusable
components, so the map designer doesn’t have to completely redo everything
when they want to make a change to some part of the display (as is the case with
WebForms). All of the ‘Send On’, ‘Review’, and ‘Delegate’ functionality
comes from the same page as all the workflow data. An additional benefit is that,
when there is a large amount of data, the display of the data is much faster
than with WebForms. Future versions will allow incremental update of the data
so that by the time the user is finished filling out the form, most of the data
will have already been saved.
Additional Power Tools for Workflow features
include:
- More control over creating versions using the Item Handler
step.
- A way to reference items created by the copy function
of the Item Handler step for use in other Item Handler
steps.
- A new tab for the Item Handler that allows the workflow
to call the standard functions on any item in Livelink;
i.e. – delete, reserve, un-reserve, and rename.
- The ability to initiate workflows from any item type
and specify what should be done with the item. Copy it
to the attachments folder, or keep a reference to it, in
conjunction with fetching category data from the item and
storing it in workflow data fields.
