Managing Workflow Rules

The add-in manager is responsible for creating and administering workflow rules using the Workflow Rule Manager.

From Archibus Web Central (non-SaaS) run this task:

System / Add-In Manager / Define Workflow Rules

On Archibus SaaS deployments, run this task:

System / SaaS Partner Administrator / Define Workflow Rules

From the Workflow Rules Manager, you can do the following:

Check Workflow Rules in Process
Activate Workflow Rules
Create and Edit Message Workflow Rules
Create and Edit Scheduled Workflow Rules

Some rules, like scheduled rules, can be run any time. For instance, suppose you have a scheduled rule to recalculate space chargeback every night at midnight. You can let this run on schedule.

Licensing

A workflow rule is assigned to a module or an application . To run a workflow rule, you must have the license for the corresponding application or module.

Some applications and modules are always enabled: AbSolutionTemplates, AbCommonResources, AbSystemAdministration, AbMyDashboard, and therefore these applications' workflow rules are available to all. Long-running jobs are workflow rules and subject to the same license check.

If one of the applications (AbAssetAM) in a domain (AbAsset) is enabled, the program enables WFRs for all other applications in the same domain (AbAssetManagement, AbAssetEAM, AbAssetTAM).
