Workflows; Workflow Types now allow a Category against Users

The following changes have been made to Workflow Types, Users:

  • Each User can now define a 'Category' which is a text value up to 100 characters.
  • Users can appear more than once in the grid/ collection provided they have a different Category.
  • The '%' column is now hidden by default.
  • A new '% Category (Active)' column has been added.
  • The '% Active' column is now blank if the User is not Active.
  • Sort buttons beneath the Users grid now allow items to be sorted by Category and then User Id.
  • The Category cell is now bold to whenever it does not match the previous category to allow changes of Category to be easily identified.
  • The finWorkflowTypeUsers and finWorkflowTypeUsersRO collections now have a GetUserCategoryProportionAsOverallPercentagePk method.
    • NOTE: The RO version of this object uses the 'ActiveResolved' flag when deciding whether to include Users. This takes into account the finPOWER Connect User's Active flag as well as the Active flag defined in the Workflow Type User grid.

This allows allocation Scripts more flexibility, e.g., the ability to allocate User's based upon the stage or the Workflow, e.g., Users with a Category of 'Phase 1' could be used for the first part of the Workflow but, for later parts, Users with a Category of 'Phase 2' could be used.

The Workflow Type Details report has been updated.

NOTE: The existing finWorkflowTypeUsersRO.GetUserProportionAsOverallPercentagePk method has been fixed since using it prevoiusly raised an 'Unable to case object to type' exception.
