Workflow toolbar icons are active and available for use based on the active window within the Workflow Inbox that you are using. A description of each icon follows:
Button |
Description |
---|---|
The Begin User Work button is available if there is user work associated with the selected document. Select this option to begin processing the document. Note:
This button is only enabled if all of the selected documents are in queues that contain user work. |
|
The Route Document button displays the Possible Transitions dialog box, which lists other queues to which the document can be routed. Note:
This button is only enabled if all of the selected documents are in the same queue, and the queue has at least one transition. |
|
The Show Document button displays the document. |
|
The Save button saves changes made to a document that is opened with another application, such as Microsoft Word® or Excel®. |
|
The Filter Inbox button is used to apply a custom query to the Inbox. Filters are designed during the configuration process, and override the sort columns of the Inbox. Note:
If a Keyword Type that is used as a display column has more than one value for a document, the document will be listed for each Keyword Value. Note:
This button is disabled if no filters are configured, or if the user currently logged in does not have rights to the configured filters. |
|
The Change View button can be used to toggle between the life cycle graphic layout and life cycle tree view. |
|
The Zoom In button enlarges the graphic layout view. |
|
The Zoom Out button minimizes the graphic layout view until the default size is restored. |
|
The Grid button displays a grid pattern in the graphic layout view. The grid appears beneath the queues and transitions to assist in lining up the icons. |
|
The Toggle Grippers button displays or hides the window grippers. Grippers are used for rearranging windows. Note:
This button is functional for the Classic Client interface only. |
|
The Lock Windows button prevents the windows from being moved or resized, except for the split window handle on the document viewer. The Restore Default Display right-click menu option is unavailable when the windows are locked in position. Note:
This button is functional for the Classic Client interface only. |
|
The Terminal Session button opens a session with a host system if one is configured. This works only with WRQ Reflection® terminal emulator. Note:
The Terminal Session button may not be available depending on your configuration. |
|
The Display in Separate Window button is provided for use with documents in the Work Folder. If a Work Folder has been configured for use, enabling allows the selected document from the Work Folder to be opened in its own viewer, without affecting the display of the currently selected document in the Inbox. When the button is disabled, selecting a document from the Work Folder overwrites the currently selected document in the Inbox (unless the Display Second Pane option has been enabled for the Inbox). |
|
The following buttons are visible when the -WFTRACE command line switch is added to the Client module command line: |
|
Classic Interface: The Trace Window button opens a window that displays a text description of each step that takes place during the execution of the Workflow. This is useful for troubleshooting Workflow configurations. Set onbase32.ini file parameter WriteTimeStamp=1 to include the time the step executes. In addition, any actions/rules/task lists that are configured with the Enable Debug Breakpoint check box selected will cause a message box to display giving details of the breakpoint. Core-based Interface: When the Trace button is depressed, tracing is activated on the Application Server and all messages from that client will be logged to the Diagnostic Console. All messages from all clients logging trace messages to the Application Server will be displayed in the Diagnostic Console. Thus, if two clients are logging trace messages (have the Trace button depressed), any Diagnostic Console connected to that Application Server will display messages from both clients simultaneously. Note:
The Diagnostics Console must be configured to log Workflow trace messages. For information about configuring the Diagnostics Console, see the Diagnostics Console Help files. |
|
The Trace to File button enables logging of the activities during execution of a Workflow. This differs from the Trace Window in that it writes to the WFDEBUG.TXT file, in the program temp directory specified in Workstation Options. Note:
Currently only supported in the Classic Client interface. |
|
The Breakpoint Debug button enables break point debugging. Any actions/rules/task lists that are configured with the Enable Debug Breakpoint check box selected will cause a message box to display prior to execution, giving details of the breakpoint. Note:
This button is only available for the Core-based interface. The functionality this button provides is built into the Trace Window button's functionality in the Classic Client interface. |
|
The Step Debug button displays a message box after each rule, action or task is finished executing. Used for determining the location of logic problems in a Workflow configuration. |
