Mixing project types
ToadMan8
August 26th, 2008
I am trying to make a workflow that does the following:
-Client goes to a URL to authenticate and fill out a webform to request funding approval.
-Ticket is created in Altiris Helpdesk and gets routed to the person who can approve funding requests.
-When the ticket goes into "Complete" status and a custom Helpdesk field (I can query the DB for this) is set a certain way, the requesting client will get an e-mail saying the funding is approved.
When I try to put the webform component in a Workflow project, it won't let me. When I try to put the Altiris Helpdesk components in the Webform project, it won't let me.
What to do?!?!
Thanks for your thoughts.

Form Start workflow scenario.
ToadMan8,
You're in a classic form start workflow scenario.
You need to create a 'Workflow' type project and start your project with a 'Dialog Workflow Component' as the first step.
Inside this component you will find a property called 'Interaction Model' and inside the 'Interaction Model' you can put Web Form, or Form Builder components.
The only other thing you will have to do is enable the 'composer.aspx' link so you can browse directly to this form instead of double clicking the Execute moethod from your workflow project.
You do this by going to your project set up information, click on the top most node, with the same name as your project in the tree on the left side of the designer. Then select the 'deployment' tab from the setup options.
On the 'deployment' tab you'll find options for how your workflow starts 'Auto Start', 'Web Service' and 'Form Start'
Set your project to form start and you should be able to do exactly what you've described.
PM me or post back if you'd like more help.
