Validation on workflow approval

Hi All,

I want to do one validation before approve the workflow.

Example:

In my table I have a field called posted. So my validation is, if the record is posted then only system should allow to approve.

I tried to disable the workflow in form datasource active method but not worked.

public int active()

{

int ret;

ret = super();

if (TableA.Posted == NoYes::Yes)

{

element.design().workflowEnabled(true);

}

else

{

element.design().workflowEnabled(false);

}

return ret;

}

where can we write the code for this.

Either we can throw validation when we do approve or disable the approve button until the condition satisfies whatever is possible.

I have the same question (0)

Hi Satya,

Once you submit the workflow the assigned user will be able to approve. In this case you can allow the record to be submitted to workflow only when it is posted.

You can try the canSubmitToWorkflow method in your table for achieving this.

Hi Gunjan,

Thanks for the reply.

But in my business process. First submit the record to workflow, after some process record will be posted. Then it will go for approval. Due to this I can't use canSubmitToWorkflow.

So I am looking for a way to write validation after submit and before approve the workflow.

Hi Blue Wang,

Thanks a lot for the help. It worked. but I changed the code little bit in main method and used preActionDialogRun() override method instead validate() method.

Changes as follow.

main method:

public static void main(Args _args)

{

ChecklistWFActionManager taskWorkflowActionManager = new ChecklistWFActionManager();

taskWorkflowActionManager.parmCaller(_args.caller());

if(_args.record() && _args.record().TableId == tableNum(TableName))

{

taskWorkflowActionManager.parmArgs(_args);

taskWorkflowActionManager.run();

}

else

{

throw error("Invalid action requested");

}

}

preActionDialogRun

protected void preActionDialogRun()

{

Common tabelRecord = args.record();

if (Required condition)

{

throw error("Invalid transaction.");

}

super();

}
