Web Client Workflow

Workflow Document Security

Access to documents via Workflow is accomplished by a combination of assignments made at the Document Type, life cycle, and work queue level. Specifically:

...

Note: To view or change Keyword Values or to re-index a document via the right-click menu, you must have appropriate rights for modifying keywords or re-indexing.

Accessing the Workflow Screen

To open the Workflow window, select Workflow from the Context drop-down select list in the Web Client. If the Workflow button is not displayed on your Web Server, you do not have access to Workflow. Contact your System Administrator for further information.

The Workflow interface can also be directly accessed. To directly access Workflow:

1. Open a browser and enter the path https://onbaseweb.carleton.edu/AppNet_16/Workflow/WFLogin.aspx
2. Type your Carleton Network ID password.
3. Click Login. The Workflow interface is displayed upon successful login.

Opening Workflow From Documents

Workflow options are available from an open document or by right-clicking documents in the Document Search Results list. Workflow can also be opened via a folder’s right-click menu.

...

1. From an open document, the Document Search Results list, or a folder, right-click the document and select Workflow | Open Workflow. The Workflow screen with the queue containing the open or selected document displays. If the document does not exist in a life cycle, the option is disabled. If an instance of Workflow is already open, the current Workflow screen will display the selected document.
   
   Note: When viewing an OLE document or PDF document that has been assigned to a life cycle, Workflow can be opened by selecting Process | Workflow | Open Workflow.
   
   
2. If the associated Document Type is configured for multiple life cycles, you are prompted to select a life cycle. After you select a life cycle, the queue containing the open or selected document displays. If an instance of Workflow is already open, the current Workflow screen will display the selected document. If Workflow is currently executing a task that has not completed and the Open Workflow option is selected, the following message is displayed: ATTENTION: You are currently executing a Workflow task that has not completed. Press CANCEL to complete your Workflow task. Failure to do so will cause the task to terminate before completed. Press OK to continue, or Cancel to stay on the current page.
   
   Note: When viewing an OLE document or PDF document that has been assigned to a life cycle, Workflow can be executed on the document by selecting Process | Workflow | Execute Workflow. Additionally, the Workflow Queues option is available from the Inbox tab in Workflow.
   
   To view a document’s queues, select a document, right-click, and select Workflow | Workflow Queues. The Workflow Locations dialog box is displayed. All of the life cycles, queues that the document belongs to, and users/user groups or roles assigned to the document are listed. <Restricted> will be displayed for queues and life cycles that you do not have the rights and/or privileges to view.

Defining the Layout

You may specify the way you view the Workflow layout. The Workflow Layout Options button is displayed.  

...

• When the Horizontal Layout option is selected, the layout displays the document viewer horizontally spanning the Workflow interface.
• When the Vertical Layout option is selected, the layout displays the document viewer vertically spanning the Workflow interface.
• When the Separate Viewer Layout option is selected, the layout displays the document viewer in a separate window from the Workflow interface.

Resizing and Pinning the Workflow Window

When you resize the Workflow window or change the height or width of the Life Cycle Tree, these settings are saved. If you are using the layout where the document is displayed in a separate window, the height and width of this window is also saved.

...

These settings are saved on a per user, per workstation basis. If you are using the layout where the document is displayed in a separate window, you can also pin and unpin this window.

Restoring the Workflow Window to the Default Settings

In some instances, you may want to clear all changes to the Workflow window and, if you are viewing the document in a separate window, the document viewer window, such as the layout selection and window size. To restore the Workflow to the default settings:

1. Select User from the context drop-down select list.
2. Select Client Settings from the mode drop-down select list.
3. Select the Workflow User Interface option.
   Note: Any time the Workflow window settings are changed, the Workflow User Interface option is available.
4. Click Reset Selected Settings.

Adding Documents to Workflow

If the Document Type assigned to the open or selected document has been configured for Workflow, you can add the document to the initial queue of the configured Workflow.

1. From an open document or the Document Search Results list, right-click the document and select Workflow | Execute Workflow.
2. If the document is configured for one life cycle, Workflow launches automatically. If the associated Document Type is configured for multiple life cycles, you are prompted to select a life cycle and click OK. A message stating Document was successfully assigned to ‘life cycle name’ is displayed.

Life Cycle View Tab

The Life Cycle View tab displays the life cycles to which the logged in user has viewing rights.
