| | Looking at a simple way of invoking a workflow for demo purposes without having to use visual studio or info path etc I was originally thinking of polling a location(folder) for a file and having that start the workflow. Any ideas? Josh |

| | Thanks for that... it will come in pretty handy for the actual project. what i am looking for for this demo is a solution out of the box without the need for code... does such a thing exist? Cheers Josh |

| Hi,
The current released version does not have this functionality provided out of the box. We did have plans of including filewatcher provider along with the product. Could you please check with support (support@skelta.com) if filewatcher has been included in any of the recent patches released.

| Hi,
You just need to place three lines of Code for starting a workflow. This could be even done on a button click event from an aspx page.Please check this post for more details

| Hi Josh, You can associate the workflows with EC event. No need to write any code.

| Hi,
Thanks for the valuable input bineesh. Josh.. Try out the steps below for alerting worklfow from Enterprise Console
1) Login to enterprise console
2) Goto worklfow list [Left menu: Process Automation-> Workflows]
3) The workflow list exposes different events which can be used to start a workflow
4) Create two worklfows
a) For associating an event [just with start action] - naming the workflow as AlertDemoWorkflow
b) The demo workflow with actual steps - naming the workflow as DemoWorkflow
5) GoTo Demo workflow context menu [right click]
6) Select Create Association
7) Select Enterprise console
8) Select (See attached Image)
Type drop down : ListItem
Event Details drop down : OnPublish
9) Right click on the explorer next to ListId (See attached Image)
10) Select Workflow in the first drop down & AlertDemoWorkflow in the second (See attached Image) and Submit
11) Click Attach Event on main page
Now you have associated an event to the Demoworkflow. Demoworkflow will be triggered when ever the AlertDemoWorkflow is published from workflow list.
12) GoTo workflow list
13) Right click on AlertDemoWorkflow and select Publish.
14) The Demo workflow will be triggered automatically.
