Custom workflow rules allow you to implement application-specific business logic, such as modifying data values before save, saving multiple records to different tables as a single transaction, or sending email notifications after save. You can still use the DataRecord object to send or receive data to/from custom workflow rules.
If the workflow rule is defined using class-level security, use callMethod()from JavaScript, passing the primaryActivity-workflowRuleName-methodName followed by one or more arguments:
try {
var woId = this.cookbookWorkOrderConsole.getFieldValue('wo.wo_id');
var result = Workflow.callMethod(
'AbSolutionsViewExamples-LogicExamples-getRecordByPrimaryKey', woId);
...
} catch (e) {
// handle error: display an error message etc.
Workflow.handleError(e);
}
The workflow rule method includes the parameter(s) in the method declaration:
public DataRecord getRecordByPrimaryKey(String woId) {
...
}
If the workflow rule is not defined using class-level security, then the Java Script code uses the Workflow.call() method:
result = Workflow.call("AbHelpDesk-helpDeskApprove", parameters);
To call workflow rules directly from the AXVW using the workflowRule command,
See "Call a workflow rule from the view"
