Workflow Actions: To Implement a Simple Action

The following activity will walk you through the process of implementing a workflow action that can later be used to trigger a transition.

Story

On the Repair Work Orders (RS301000) form, you need to create a workflow action that can later be used to trigger a transition. The command that corresponds to this action should be displayed in the Processing category of the More menu.

Process Overview

In your extension library, you will implement the ReleaseFromHold graph action with an empty method and add this action to the screen configuration of the Repair Work Orders (RS301000) form. You will also add the predefined Processing category to the workflow and specify this category for the ReleaseFromHold action.

  1. Prepared an instance with the PhoneRepairShop customization project and enabled the workflow validation by performing the following prerequisite activities:
