Approval multiple Workflow activities at once

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Adrian Pascari A 1,683

I received a new required to allow users to accept/refuse multiple workflow activities by one clicking.

Modified 'TimeSheetApprovoal' user control to allow multiple selecting:

0118.ep_2D00_approv_2D00_2.jpg

Now when I select 2 lines the button 'Actions' of workflow bar is hidden and multiple lines cannot be approved/rejected.

For one line the button is displayed:

Which ax classes  I have to modify to allow actions for multi lines select?

Where I can find some info about how Workflow works in Enterprise portal?

    Hi Adrian. You will struggle to do this via the standard yellow workflow bar as each workitem could be executing a different menu-item due to different steps, configs etc. We added buttons to the task bar for core actions "Approve" and "Reject".

    Please message me with your email address and I'll send you code.

    public static void actionItem(WorkflowWorkItemActionType action, WorkflowWorkItemTable _workitem, WorkflowComment _comment,MenuItemName _menuItem )
{
   WorkflowWorkItemActionManager::dispatchWorkItemAction(_workitem,
                                                                _comment,
                                                                '',
                                                                action,
                                                                _menuItem,
                                                                false);
    info("Item Actioned");
}

    [removed by moderator] if you still have it available.  This looks like exactly what I am looking for, I've reviewed the code above that should give me a much needed push in the right direction.  Thanks much!

    Please forward the code to [removed by moderator] as well, if it is still available.

    I also have a request similar to this for custom forms.

    I'm not sure if a custom line-item workflow will accomplish this.
