Assigning Workflow to a Folder

Hi All,

I just wanted to ask if it's possible to assign workflow to a folder? Hence, in essence, when a user would upload a document to a folder, the Workflow would automatically start

You must do it with automation task. First of all must register automation http://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/Enable ... ersion_6.2

Then simply create an automation task like:
1- Document creation event at post
2- Validation -> PathContains point to your folder
2- Action -> Here got one options -> AddWorkflowToWizard ( mandatori need your user upload workflow from UI ).

Also you could create your own action to execute workflow directly without wizard. Take a look here https://sourceforge.net/p/openkm/code/H ... izard.java You should create your own class and execute directly here the workflow to the document ( take a look here for example how adding a keyword https://sourceforge.net/p/openkm/code/H ... yword.java )

In professional version we got best implementation based on plugins, we've still not shared it on community version.
