This server-side class provide methods and public functions that allow operating with workflows and theirs components, such as activities, transitions, and so on.
You can create an instance of the SimpleWorkflow class in the way described below:
<![CDATA[const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow('159491114038814558'); // wf_workflow.sys_id
Parameter(s):
Name | Type | Mandatory | Default Value |
---|---|---|---|
workflowId | String | N | NULL |
cancel(current)
This method allows cancelling all active contexts of the current record.
Parameter(s):
Name | Type | Mandatory | Default Value |
---|---|---|---|
current | SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
Return:
Type | Description |
---|---|
Void | This method does not return a value. |
Example:
<![CDATA[const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow('159491114038814558'); if (simpleWorkflow.hasActiveContexts(current)) { simpleWorkflow.cancel(current); }
If a workflow has subflows created for it, use the following script to cancel all contexts of the workflow and any active subflows related to it:
<![CDATA[const currentDocId = ss.getDocIdByIds(current.sys_db_table_id, current.sys_id); const wfContext = new SimpleRecord('wf_context'); wfContext.addQuery('related_record_id', currentDocId); wfContext.addQuery('active', true); wfContext.orderBy('sys_id'); wfContext.selectAttributes(['workflow_version_id']); wfContext.query(); const doesActiveWfExist = wfContext.getRowCount() > 0; while (wfContext.next()) { const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow(wfContext.workflow_version_id.getValue('workflow_id')); if (simpleWorkflow.hasActiveContexts(current)) { simpleWorkflow.cancel(current); } } if (doesActiveWfExist) { ss.addInfoMessage('All contexts have been canceled!'); ss.setRedirect(); }
copy()
This method copies the workflow with creating a version in the Checked Out state and after that returns a copied workflow.
Return:
Type | Description |
---|---|
SimpleRecord object or NULL | This method returns NULL if the new SimpleWorkflow object has been created without specifying the workflowId parameter; otherwise, it returns an object of the Workflow (wf_workflow) table (of a SimpleRecord type). |
Example:
<![CDATA[const workflow = new SimpleWorkflow('159491114038814558'); const copiedWorkflow = workflow.copy(); const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow(copiedWorkflow.sys_id);
delete()
This method deletes the workflow and all its elements.
Return:
Type | Description |
---|---|
Boolean | This method returns the boolean result (TRUE if the workflow was successfully deleted; otherwise, returns FALSE). |
Example:
<![CDATA[const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow('159491114038814558'); const copiedWorkflow = simpleWorkflow.copy(); const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow(copiedWorkflow.sys_id); if (simpleWorkflow.delete()) { ss.info('Workflow deleted!'); }
hasActiveContexts(current)
This method checks the current record if there are any active workflow contexts present or not.
Parameter(s):
Name | Type | Mandatory | Default Value |
---|---|---|---|
current | SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
Return:
Type | Description |
---|---|
Boolean | This method returns the boolean result (TRUE if the active workflow context presents; otherwise, returns FALSE). |
Example:
<![CDATA[const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow('159491114038814558'); if (simpleWorkflow.hasActiveContexts(current)) { simpleWorkflow.cancel(current); }
revival(executingActivity, current)
This method restarts the workflow starting with the activity specified.
Parameter(s):
Name | Type | Mandatory | Default Value |
---|---|---|---|
executingActivity | SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
current | SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
Return:
Type | Description |
---|---|
SimpleRecord object | This method returns an object of the Workflow Context (wf_context) table (of a SimpleRecord type). |
Example:
<![CDATA[const current = new SimpleRecord('task'); current.get('164579976616724057'); const approval = new SimpleRecord('sys_approval'); approval.get('164625329711023536'); const activity = approval.wf_executing_activity_id; const workflow = new SimpleWorkflow(); workflow.revival(activity, current);
start(current)
This method is intended to start the workflow. The method starts only the workflows where the Condition Type is set to Manual.
Parameter(s):
Name | Type | Mandatory | Default Value |
---|---|---|---|
current | SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
Return:
Type | Description |
---|---|
SimpleRecord object or NULL | This method returns NULL in the cases listed below:
Otherwise, it returns an object of the Workflow Context (wf_context) table (of a SimpleRecord type). |
Example:
<![CDATA[const simpleWorkflow = new SimpleWorkflow('159491114038814558'); const context = simpleWorkflow.start(current); if (context.state === 'finished') { ss.info('Workflow finished!'); }
startSubflow(executingActivity, current, workflowId)
This method allows starting sub-workflow by executing activity.
Parameter(s):
Name | Type | Mandatory | Default Value |
---|---|---|---|
executingActivity | SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
current | SimpleRecord object | Y | N |
workflowId | String | Y | N |
Return:
Type | Description |
---|---|
SimpleRecord object or NULL | This method returns NULL if there are no workflow versions created by the current user; otherwise, it returns an object of the Workflow Context (wf_context) table (of a SimpleRecord type). |
Example:
- No labels
