Create process relationships

This workflow plugin allows you to create several in a relationship with each other to generate standing processes in a single creation mask.

Introduction

With this workflow plugin it is possible to create several related processes in a single creation mask.

The creation mask is completely configurable and each field can be assigned to a metadata in a process. Furthermore, the relationships between the processes are configured.

Installation

To install the plugin, the following three files must be installed:

/opt/digiverso/goobi/plugins/workflow/plugin_intranda_workflow_linkedprocesscreation.jar
/opt/digiverso/goobi/plugins/GUI/plugin_intranda_workflow_linkedprocesscreation-GUI.jar
/opt/digiverso/goobi/static_assets/plugins/intranda_workflow_linkedprocesscreation/js/app.js

To configure how the plugin should behave, various values can be adjusted in the configuration file. The configuration file is usually located here:

/opt/digiverso/goobi/config/plugin_intranda_workflow_linkedprocesscreation.xml

The contents of this configuration file are as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <!--
  This is an example configuration file for the configuration of various editor masks.
    Each mask consists of two columns with several boxes. In each box
    several fields can be defined. A field always has a field type (e.g. text box, select box
    etc.). In addition, a field has a name and an association with an activity.

    Since the configuration allows any constellation, current and future
    data entry masks can be combined as required and thus allow the creation of different processes with
    Allow relationships with each other from a single entry mask.
