Subsystem XV Workflow

<- home

Overview

The workflow subsystem comprises tools for encoding, managing, and reporting customized sequences of tasks through which code enforcement cases and occupancy periods/inspections are ushered. The core objects of the workflow system are the WorkflowCoordinator and the backing bean WorkflowConfigBB for configuration of EventRules and Proposals.

Mechanisms

Workflow management is facilitated by examination of Event objects attached to a code enforcement case or an occupancy period. The examination of existing EventCnF objects is directed by a EventRuleAbstract subclass which specifies a required or forbidden event attribute–either by the higher-level EventType or more specific EventCategory.

The addition or removal of EventCnF objects on its container code enforcement case or occupancy period is made easy for the user by Proposal objects which contain one or more Choice objects. One subclass of Choice can add or remove an EventCnF and different subclass can direct the addition or removal of an EventRule from its parent object. (The third type of Choice subclass is a mere page redirection String).
