Alfresco Custom workflow based on specific time to flow between tasks

Hi Every One,

          In this post, i am going to discuss what is workflow and how to create our own custom time based workflow in alfresco share

Workflow:

A workflow consists of a sequence of connected steps where each step follows without delay or gap and ends just before the subsequent step may begin. It is a depiction of a sequence of operations, declared as work of a person or group, an organization of staff, or one or more simple or complex mechanisms. Workflow may be seen as any abstraction of real work. For control purposes, workflow may be a view of real work in a chosen aspect, thus serving as a virtual representation of actual work. The flow being described may refer to a document or product that is being transferred from one step to another.

Workflows may be viewed as one primitive building block to be combined with other parts of an organisation's structure such as information silos, teams, projects, policies and hierarchies.

In simple words flow where to go what and accepts and rejects, if accept it has to go some person ,rejects some other and based on specific time flow will move between tasks. these things will be there in workflow.

Time Based Workflow:

This workflow will move the work between different users based on given specific times at usertasks.

Adding new workflow in Alfresco: 

For this you need to add some XML files and edit some XML files.

Files to be added

1)testtimebasedflow.bpmn20.xml( file name can be any thing but extension has to be .bpmn20.xml)

2)workflowTesttimebasedflowmodel-custom.xml (file name can be any thing but extension has to be .xml)

Files to Edit

3)share-workflow-form-config.xml

4)bootstrap-context.xml

Files to be added

testtimebasedflow.bpmn20.xml

This is the file where we add the actual workflow this has to be there in Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\workflow

Description about this workflow: this workflow we are getting all the group names and assigning work as follows

1) flow starts from Hr and this task is move to marketing.
2)marketing user not responds till 1hour it will move ro finance for this we should written cron schedular for specific time.if marketing user responds it will move to banking
3) bankig user will end the flow.
