New link types for workflow steps other than normal true/false

Hi!I'm trying to develop a new task type that must route the work package to different steps by checking a condition. It should work very much like the Evaluate step, but the thing is that instead of a TRUE/FALSE evaluation I need a sort of "switch" stament, so the work package routes to stepX, stepY, stepZ. By looking at the Evalueate step code, i came to the conclusion that the work package is routed based on the type of link that is painted at design time between those steps. Does anybody know how to add new link types between steps other than the standard Normal/True/False links?Any help would by welcome.thanks.

Message from Hans Stoop via eLinkJust FYI:That functionality is part of Livelink 9.0. So you may reconsider ifit is worth while to implement it yourself.Hans Stoop--------------Visit the Solution Catalog athttps://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/livelink.exe?func=ll&objId=2277625Consultant Partner Programs Europehstoop@opentext.com+31 23 5652333http://www.opentext.com/> -----Original Message-----> From: knowledge@opentext.com> [mailto:knowledge@opentext.com]On Behalf Of> eLink Discussion: Development Discussion> Sent: maandag 2 april 2001 20:53> To: eLink Recipient> Subject: New link types for workflow steps other than> normal true/false>>> New link types for workflow steps other than normal true/false> Posted by CentrisaUser1 on 04/02/2001 02:47 PM>> Hi!>> I'm trying to develop a new task type that must route the> work package to different steps by checking a condition.> It should work very much like the Evaluate step, but the> thing is that instead of a TRUE/FALSE evaluation I need a> sort of "switch" stament, so the work package routes to> stepX, stepY, stepZ.

How can I use that funcionality? I mean, what sort of task type should I use?

In V9 you can use the evaluate step to determine which steps should become ready when the step is reached. You still use the True link when painting the map, but when the evaluate step is reached you can specify multiple conditions to be evaluated. For each condition that evaluates to true you specify which True paths should be taken. That way you may have 10 true paths, but only 3 of them are taken because of the evaluations.
