Workflow validation on submit button

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by aayushii 135
I am trying to add validation before Timesheet workflow submit: 
 
All timesheet-> click on workflow ->submit ->will check if validation pass->workflow submitted successfully.
 
For that I have done:
1. write logic in a class:
class abcTSTimesheetapprovalvalidationworkflow extends WorkflowWorkItemActionManager
{
logic to validate;
}
2. create action menu item and add above class 
what should be the next step in it so that I can use the validation?
 
OR is there any other way for this validation before workflow submit for timesheet?
 
Thankyou.

    Hi Ayushri,
     
    I would suggest you to add validation on canSubmitToWorkflow method at table level.
    This method will decide whether to show the workflow submit button based on some condition.

    Hi Girish,
     
    Thankyou for the quick reply!
    When I tried: cansubmittoworkflow COC method on table: TSTimesheetTable
    it will give this error (validation) everytime I tried  to open this timesheet entry whenever i tried to do other operation like save, it throws this error.
    But, I want this validation only when I click on workflow button not before this step.
     
    thankyou

    There is a method named validateSubmit on TSTimesheetTable - Just write COC for that method and check whether its suits your scenario.
    Also, there is a method named validate on the TsWorkflowActionManager class which will be called whenever you submit the header workflow. Add COC for that method and add validation there. 
     
    Thanks,
    Girish S.
