Dear all,

I am pretty new and I really don't know where to look for the documentations.

As the subjects, I actually have two questions.

 
 Does K2 allow me to provide custom functions by developing it directly using WWF?

 Does K2 server support scheduling to perform actions on some work flow instances?

 

Thanks very much.

Kel,

You can include WF schedules using the Server Event (WF) event.  Although this has some interesting possibilities, I haven't seen anyone use it as the blackpearl toolbox is pretty rich.  There are a number of ways you can add custom functions depending on what you want to do.

I'm not sure exacly what you mean by scheduling, but yes, you can schedule workflows to run on a periodic basis.  Right now this functionality is only available through the scheduling API, but UI support is coming in the future.  If you are talking about scheduling activites within a workflow, that can usually be accomplished with a combination of rules on activities.

DavidL,

Thanks a lot for your response.

Here is what I would like to do. I would like to have a "scheduled" task, hopefully I can set it up in K2 server. The task checks all the instances of the workflows in K2 server at 1am every day. Then depends on the status of each instance, it performs some actions like sending an email to remind to the right person, cancel the instance or something else.

Could you please tell me how to do these in K2 way? Or point me to the right place that I can learn. Thanks again.

 
Regards,

Hello Kel.

1. Does K2 allow me to provide custom functions by developing it directly using WWF?

Yes.  If you wish to use WF directly you can use the Default Server Event (WF) activity.

2. Does K2 server support scheduling to perform actions on some work flow instances?

Could you describe your requirements in greater detail? K2 provides time based functionality like Start Rules and Escalation Rules at the Activity level, which may be of value depending on what it is you are trying to accomplish.
