  • 1.  Dialog Workflow Question

    Posted Feb 21, 2011 02:29 PM

    Hello!

    I'm creating a dialog workflow with approval and I would like the workflow to continue in two directions from the default path.  I've already added in the WorkflowAdvanced.DLL file so I can do parallel processing, but for some reason it's not kicking off.  Does the dialog workflow component support this feature I'm trying to do?

     

    Here is a screenshot of what I want to accomplish.  I want the default to spawn out both ways at once, just not one or the other (and yes, both values are true for the checks).

    That should work. Are you passing into two separate Dialog Workflow components downstream to do the approvals? If so, do you have the "Start" process in those setup to do anything (IE: Send an email to the approver with the "ResponsePageLink" in the body of the email)? See image for location of Start Process:

    matzebru,

    Yes, both of the events are configured to send an email to the users for approval on the items being requested.  I'm trying to think of any other variable that I may be missing, but I'm coming up blank.

    When you debug the project, where does the yellow highlight (in the Model tab of the debugger window) stop at?

    It follows this path to the Cell Phone / BB Rule (which is just a value based off a check box), although both values for the Laptop rule and the Cell Phone / BB Rule are true

    However, if I don't check the box for the Cell Phone / BB rule and just the one for the laptop, it goes to the laptop one.  So I know both routes work...I just can't figure out why it doesn't go to both at once. 

    I may try to re-build a test scenario...maybe that will shed some light on it.

    you may need to use the 'Switch Workflow To Async' component to get it to parallel process, I'm sure you've already included it but thought I'd mention it.
