C16: Workflow Rules


Files:
PowerPoint Presentation [PPT]
Handout Document [PDF]

Summary:
This session will discuss creating Workflow Rules by using existing event handlers. You can create Workflow Rules and workflows just by adding XML action entries to your view files to define new buttons and then define a new rule in the Workflow Rule console. The Workflow Rule console defines a set of parameters for how the rule is to be run, and gives a set of buttons to load the rule. Workflow Rules are either message rules, scheduled rules, or one-time scheduled rules. Message rules and one-time schedule rules can take parameters from the XML input action submitted by the client. In this way, message rules can retrieve values from the client-side form or from the application preferences or user account preferences.

This session will demonstrate uses of Workflow Rules as well as presentation, logic, and application tiers. In addition, it will cover procedures such as viewing the workflow rules diagrams and consoles, enabling and disabling rules, controlling rule access with hierarchical security, creating a notification view and a scheduled notification rule, and more.
