Re: [WDK Users] wizard?

Thanks for the responses; both make sense.  It would still be nice to view what you  have for documentation.  We have several cases where we need to do transformations of one type of record result into other types of record results (eg homologene to gene, relationships to gene) and if my understanding is correct, the better way for us to do this might be through the wizard instead of the "hack" we have in place now.

Hi Emily,

The wizard is the way that WDK uses to drive the popup windows for adding,
inserting, and revising steps on the strategy panel. WDK provides some default
wizard stages that enables you to add/changes steps with Boolean and transform
operations, and you can extend them to incorporate more advanced steps. The span
logic operation is one such example.

Normally the wizard stages provided by WDK should be sufficient to you. When you
work on the migration, all you need to do is to change the custom question pages
if you have any, and do not include <html:form> or <form> tag in them.

Transform (even between types) is an integrated feature in WDK, and you don’t need to hack anything to bring it up to your site.

 

Just define a relationship question/query, and define a answerParam with recordClass ref to genes, and that’s it. WDK will pick up the question in the add step popup menu.

Thanks! I wasn't aware of this.  Makes life easier :).
