UPDATE: Vidi ovu raspravu MSDN, pogotovo zadnji upis: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/showpost.aspx?postid=2631057&siteid=1. It describes a condition that may short circuit this whole thing. In short, može biti kao jednostavan kao što barem jedan od polja obvezna.
Imam biblioteku dokumenata koja podržava osam vrsta sadržaja.
I have a SharePoint Designer workflow that wants to calculate and assign a "reminder date" jednostavnim oduzimanjem 30 dana od drugog stupca, "due date". This should only happen for one of the content types, "Insurance". The business objective is to produce a KPI that shows two categories of insurance documents: "about to expire" and "expired." (Možete pročitati više o ovoj vrsti KPI i jači drill-down ovdje).
I have configured the workflow to fire when a new item is created and when an item is modified. The idea is that when an insurance document is uploaded, we calculate a "warning date" based on the expiration date. A pair of views work in connection with a KPI List to highlight these conditions when users hit their home page.
Ova strategija ne radi kada ću uploadati dokument.
I upload the document and I am presented with the meta data entry screen. U ovom trenutku, I’m already in trouble. SharePoint has already, prerano iz moje perspektive, fired the workflow. I haven’t had a chance to pick the correct content type nor assign a due date. Istovremeno, the workflow does not fire when I hit the submit button at this time. There’s some built-in logic that "believes" that first submit is part of the "create" event. Tako … Moj workflow je pucao i kada je izvršena, it was passed default meta data values.
The best work-around I know of is to insert a "pause until" activity in the workflow. I have the workflow pause for 1 minute. While it’s pausing, Sam odabrati ispravnu vrstu sadržaja, enter the meta data and submit. The pause completes and the workflow proceeds as needed. (Imajte na umu da u mom okruženju, timer workflow activities from SPD do not work out of the box. You may have the same trouble. Vidjeti ovdje za više detalja).
I don’t like "magic delay" work-around. What happens if the user uploads a document and the phone rings and the ensuing conversation outlasts the pause? I can make the pause longer, ali ja još uvijek se ne sviđa.
