GCI 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.
