Workflow - dynamically adding additional actions

System

During the workflow webcast this morning, a participant asked if a workflow can be dynamically altered by the individual using the workflow to add additional actions to an activity node We were not able to answer this question definatively in the webcast.

Greetings,

There may be a way to dynamically add activities and action arrows to the template of a process during runtime via JavaScript calls embedded in the template definition. But I'm not entirely certain if the feature is fully supported in the current release of our product. I will attempt to find out further information about this and post a reply. If this is a critical issue, please contact technical support promptly and they will escalate the matter.

One note about the feature: Dynamically altering a template for a given process does NOT affect the actual template. All other processes based off the same template will NOT be affected. What really goes on behind the scenes is that when a dynamic structural edit such as this occurs, the corresponding template is duplicated and the cloned copy is modified and associated with the current process.
