RE: PTC Integrity - Change a workflow in depending of an attribute

[ptc-5804834]

Hello all,

is it possible to change the workflow of an item in Integrity in depending the attribute category.

For example:

Category: Heading; Workflow: Draft - Finished

Category: Functional requirement; Workflow: Draft - to Review - Finished - Revision - Deffered

Thanks

Hello Michaela,

Using solely workflows, what you are asking is for is not possible.

You could use rules based pre-event triggers to only allow Headings to go to Draft or Finished, while allowing a Functional Requirement to tranistion only through Draft to Review, Finished, Revision, or Deferred. Please see the section titled "Creating Workflow and Document Event Triggers" in the Server Administration Guide appropriate to your release of Integrity.

Regards,
Kael

You have to be careful with ALM documents (sounds like what you're doing), but I've done that quite a few times with type constraints and then there's no need for triggers.

The constraints are pretty much what you described in your post if you use contraints of type "field relationship".

The workflow has to be set up with all the possible paths, then you use the contraints to guide you through it. Try it!
