History

The History Activity defines the history information added to a Workitem during a process step. You can define a optional Date- and Time format which will be inserted before a Record Text. In each process step the Workflow Manager will add a new line into the Workitem History.

So the history will result in a process enduser documentation like this example:

02.10.2006 13:36:47 : Document saved by Ralph Soika/IMIXS .
02.10.2006 13:46:37 : Document assigened by Ralph Soika/IMIXS .
02.10.2006 13:36:47 : Document saved by Ralph Soika/IMIXS.

Date- and Timeformat

You can define different Date and Time Formates the workflow manager should use to gernerate the DateTime Information in fornt of a history entry

The following formats are allowed:

  • SHORT is completely numeric, such as 12.13.52 or 3:30pm
  • MEDIUM is longer, such as Jan 12, 1952
  • LONG is longer, such as January 12, 1952 or 3:30:32pm
  • FULL is pretty completely specified, such as Tuesday, April 12, 1952 AD or 3:30:42pm PST.

Entry

An Entry defines an optional WorkItem abstract which will be displayed by Workflow Clients to give the user a short overview for the process.
