How to Restrict Start Workflow or Start Attachement for particular sub type from base package type i

Kothari

Hello All,

I have following object model as

A --> Super type

Following are Sub type

B,C,D,E

1. Added Package as Super type "A", Wnat to have only one workflow template.

2. User should be able to start workflow only for "C" and "D" sub types

in OOTB behaviour for all sub types (B, C, D , E) . I am able to start the workflow. As Added package as "A" super type.

Is there any way in WebTop Configuration / customization to use Filter / Scope ? on Components xml ? 2 places from WebTop to start the Workflow. When User select any "B" or "E" Type of documents , user should not get start Workflow / attachement option Enable to start the workflow. Only for "C" and "D" type.

Hi,

You can scope the required workflow actions for C and D types like this,

<scope type="C,D"> <action .../></scope>

Hi,

Workflow--> Start --> startworkflownotemplate

Workflow --> StartAttachment --> startworkflowfromdoc

Note: Starting workflow from template will not prevent selecting other subtypes and cannot be scoped as well. Try to customize addattachments component or remove this menu item
