task Transitions

Bhargav Coca

I am on TS6.7.1 on Linux. I guess I am still going the old way of defining successor and predecessor in a given task based on standard workflow design on having "Approve" and "Reject" buttons. I recently came to know that there is way to transition between the tasks from the drop down of tasks. So ideally i can choose any task from the drop down to reject back to?

Has anyone aware of such thing? can you please share a snippet from this modern wft design?

I just need to know how and where you define this drop down and how do you transition from this drop down?

If it is mentioned in the manual? can you please point me to page and version #.

Thank You

I'm not aware of any such functionality - unless you're talking about a cgitask where you can code your own transitioning interface.

How did you become "recently aware" of this?

Well i got that info from my Project Lead, I was doing the workflow with all successor and predecessors with email approvals. So we have a design where in a Reviewer can Reject it back to any task in the workflow if have to do that using our standard wft procedure, i will have following buttons in the email sent to reviewer

"Push To Production" "Reject to Editor" "Reject To TechEditor" ..... I wonder instead of using such buttons the transition from email can be done by using drop down of all previous task names in that drop down. I am sure this not OOTB functionality but wonder if some onehave done something like this before.

Thank You

Well on the same grounds, can i do something like this....?

[html]

__INSERT__("$Succesor1");
if($succesor2 ne ""){
__INSERT__("$Succesor2");
}
]]>

__INSERT__("$Test1");
__INSERT__("$Test2");
__INSERT__("$Test3");

[/html]

Assuming the email is HTML formatted - you could format the transitions in a select list as easily as making buttons. But the Task Details screen will still have buttons.

I think i can not do this..! Cuz I basically the task transition wouldn't happen with generic "Reject". So i should be having 3 "Reject" succssorsets to transition back to 3 different tasks. Am i right? Please advice

I've already given advice in terms of my understanding of what you're trying to do.

If my advice doesn't fit your needs, you may have to more clearly explain what you are trying to do - though frankly, if that's the case, I'm not sure you *can* do what you want to do...
