Combining Workflows and Property Groups

[rdovell]

Hello,

I'd like to launch one of a number of property groups based on a value entered into an initial property group. Can you please tell me how to get the data from a property group and how to launch a property group via coding?

Thanks

Correct me if I do not understood you. You want a workflow where you choose something. Then, on depending your initial choose show some forms. Is that ?
Could you prepare some mockup for better description of what you would like to see in each step ( upload the images here into a zip file ) ?

Here is what I'd like to see:

The user uploads a file,
Immediately (like a property group in a wizard) A property group appears with for example, a drop down with two choices. Depending on which choice the user picks, one of two other property groups will appear after they submit. Is there any way to do anything deterministic like that? I was thinking I would need to code a workflow that launches a property group, grabs the value of the variable created by the dropdown and then launches one of two other property groups but let me know if there is a simpler way to achieve this.

Actually to solve your problem you should use workflows. Think really you are showing a workflow form, when will be submited ( transaction ) the values are retrieved from form and inserted into OpenKM as metadata. Then depending the first workflow form value you must jump to some specific task where will be shown the correct form ( for each workflow form you need a workflow task ).

Here you will find information about workflows https://docs.openkm.com/kcenter/ and also should be interested in OpenKM portable edition what comes with OpenKM bundle and preconfigured IDE with workflow samples https://sourceforge.net/projects/openkmportabledev/
