Workflow Dialog Boxes: To Implement a Transition with a Dialog Box
This activity will walk you through the process of creating a workflow dialog box and implementing a transition that uses the values the user provides in this dialog box.
Story
On the Repair Work Orders (RS301000) form, a user should be able to assign a repair work order when it has the Ready For Assignment status. To do this, the user will click the Assign button on the form toolbar (or the equivalent command on the More menu) and enter the name of the assignee in the dialog box. When the user clicks OK, the repair work order will get the Assigned status. You need to implement these changes in the customization project.
Process Overview
In the workflow code, you will define the Assign workflow
dialog box. To do this, you will define the Assign action, register
it in the workflow, and specify the dialog box for it. You will also define the
Assigned workflow state and the transition from the
ReadyForAssignment workflow state to the
Assigned workflow state.
