How to make window read only while its workflow is running

[iqbal muhammad]

Hi Community,

Is there a way to make window read only while its workflow is running?

I thought I can use Processing or Processed field (so I can use it as Read Only logic), but both field shows 'N' while workflow is running.

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Iqbal

Use DocStatus != DR

You can create a workflow node to set the value of column Processing to Y, place it between node DocPrepare and your approval node. Then your window will automatically be read only unless the field is set to always updateable.

Hi Anozi, 

Thanks for your answer.

But how to handle this requirement, if the approver rejects the workflow, then user still able to edit the window.

You can use doc action Unlock for that.

Hi Anozi,

Thank you for your direction, I combine it with this.

So here are the steps

1. In my case, it applies to M_Requisition, so instead using dummy SendEmail Boolean column, I add new column, IsApproved1

2. Define node Set Processing

Action: Set Variable:  

Variable: Processing

Column value: Y

3. Define node Set Unprocessing

Action: Set Variable:  

Variable: Processing

Column value: N

4. Define node DocNotApproved

Action: Set Variable:  

Variable: DocStatus

Column value: NA

5. Set (DocPerpare)'s transition to node Set Processing

6. Set DocNotApproved's transition to node Set Unprocessing

7. After that we have to define (2) transitions  from the DocApproval node:

 7.1 from DocApproval to DocComplete, condition:  if the field IsApproved1 = Y (yes)

 7.2 from DocApproval to DocNotApproved, condition:  if that IsApproved1 =  N (NO)

Don't forget to set Read Only Logic to @Processing@=Y to the main tab.

I think Node attribute should implement a variable as isDocReadonly. 

and main tab have a implict filter @processing@=Y

Is it a little improvement ?
