Dear All,

I get some problems in using plugins :

1. I don't understand how to use Reference ID Plugin. Can you explain it? How to implement it?

2. What's difference between Email Plugin and User Notification Plugin?

Sincerely,

Saleh Ibrahim

    Hi Saleh,

    Regarding the Email Plugin and User Notification Plugin, there's a [Email Notifications|KB:Email Notifications] page in the KB that describes the difference. Basically, the former is to send specific email at certain points while the latter is a general notification whenever a new task is created.

    As for the Reference ID Plugin, it doesn't seem like there's documentation in the community knowledge base yet. Will try to put up a page there when I find some time soon :)

      Hi Tiensoon, I have a question.

      In the sample process of Travel Request, the Reference ID is showed in the Read-Only test Field of form"Travel Requisition Form_ver_1". In the form editor, the advanced property of this element just has a name, not any workflow variable is specify here.

      In the Process Configuration page, the reference id plugin is also not pointed to any variable.

      I want to know is there any other configuration is set, or how does this ID transferred to the read-only filed?

      Thanks!

      Hi Diana, for your use case, if you are referring to the sample Travel Request in v2, you must follow the following steps:

      1. In the workflow design, a tool (mapped to Reference ID Plugin) comes before the activity (mapped to a form).
      2. In the Reference ID Plugin configurations, configure Form Data Table (must be the same table name specified for activity form), Reference ID Prefix, and Number of Digit.
      3. In the activity form, name (advanced properties) the read-only textfield as refName (case sensitive).

      Without using workflow variable, the reference ID generated by the plugin will appear in the read-only textfield using the method described above. Condition is, if you create activity form using hr_travel as table name, then you must configure the Reference ID Plugin's "Form Data Table" as hr_travel too.

        Hola!

        Despues de realizar lo mencionado por Tiensoon, se debe de tener completa la parte de (participant mapping) ya que en caso contrario no funciona el (reference ID generated), en mi caso utilice (maps to org chat) la opcion (performer) - submit y funciono correctamente.
