ALIM Web Implementation Guide

To Configure a Data Driven Process

Follow these steps to configure a data driven process.
  1. In AssetWise Director, open System Administration.
  2. In the navigation tree, expand the Classes & Attributes node, and then expand the Tasks node.
  3. Navigate to the workflow type that you want to work on.
  4. Create and define the Attributes for View section for this workflow task.
  5. Create and define the Attributes for Edit section for this workflow task.
  6. Locate and open web.config, and define the settings for the View and Edit attributes. For example,
    <!-- Data driven process -->
    <add key="AW:WF:EditAttribute" value="EditSection" />
    <add key="AW:WF:EditAttribute" value="ViewSection" />
    where:
    • EditSection matches the name of the Edit section defined in Step 5
    • ViewSection matches the name of the View section defined in Step 4.
  7. In AssetWise Director, define the workflow for the process by adding the steps that users must perform. For example,
  8. In the ALIM Web Layout Editor, define the layout for the event object classes that will be targeted by the process by adding sections for the workflow steps to both the View and Edit layouts. For example,
  9. In AssetWise Director, add the Attributes that control the display, and enter the section names that should be used at each particular step.
    Tip: To open the step attributes, right-click the step that you want to define from the diagram, and then select either Open task or Open work step.
    Note: The step AssetWise Director must be identical to the name of the layout section.
    For example,
  10. Save and approve any open workflow templates.
  11. Create a Subject object with the correct class.
  12. Attach a workflow to the object, using the Create Workflow menu (default).
  13. Start the workflow and attempt to navigate to the subject object.
The workflow adheres to the defined behavior.
