• The installer will no longer work on Windows Server 2012. This is not a supported Operating System and has not been since July 31st, 2022.

New Capabilities:

• Support for object and array Workflow Parameters in Sandbox.

  • Parameter Values starting with a { or [ character will now be treated as a JSON object or array respectively.
  • When a workflow is then run in the sandbox, these values can be used directly by the Get Workflow Inputs activity without needing to parse them.
  • In the event of a syntax error in the value, an error will be shown on the Settings page while saving. The value will be saved as as a string.

New Capabilities:

• Undo/Redo: You can now perform undo and redo operations in Workflow Designer. Use the Undo and Redo buttons on the design surface or use the Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + Y keyboard shortcuts.

  

• Run Workflow Activity: You can now run a workflow from a workflow! The new Run Workflow activity allows you to divide a workflow into smaller workflows and use a master workflow to control the logic of running the smaller, target workflows. When it runs a target workflow, the master workflow supplies the input arguments using the Arguments input. The target workflow uses the Get Workflow Inputs activity to access the inputs. If the target workflow produces outputs, it assigns them using the Set Workflow Output activity, making them available to the master workflow. This activity provides a great way to simplify large workflows by breaking them up into smaller more manageable workflows. It also promotes reuse of workflows in different contexts.

  

• Custom Form Elements: You can now develop Custom Form Elements using React. This allows the Display Form activity to include any custom user interface components. The Activity SDK contains instructions and samples for developers to get started.

  

Updated Activities:

• Activities that interact with form elements are now more flexible. Previously these activities required you to specify the ID of the form element to operate on. Now you can specify the Form Element object using an expression, if you prefer. This is much simpler to configure and avoids the need to hard code IDs. Additionally, you can now omit the form element input altogether if you want to operate on the form element that triggered the event. These changes apply to the following activities:

  • Clear Form Element Error
  • Filter Form Element Items
  • Get Form Element Property
  • Hide Form Element
  • Set Form Element Error
  • Set Form Element Item Property
  • Set Form Element Items
  • Set Form Element Property
  • Show Form Element

Documentation:

• The documentation has been updated to address many of the most common patterns that workflow authors encounter. See the following new documentation topics:

  • Work with Feature Sets
  • Work with Geometries
  • Work with Symbols

Designing Workflows

Geocortex Workflow allows administrators to automate business processes by designing and configuring workflows that, when deployed within an application, provide guided interactions for end users.

Workflow Designer offers a web-based experience for authoring any number of workflow documents for any number of simple or sophisticated business processes.

In the initial release, Geocortex Workflow Designer offers the following capabilities:

• Create a new workflow using a blank canvas, or by choosing from a collection of templates.

• Configure basic document information such as the name and description of your workflow.

• Manage multiple workflows simultaneously in separate tabs.

• Filter the list of activities in the Activities Toolbox with search terms.

• Drag and drop activities from the Activities Toolbox onto the Design Area.

• Chain activities together (connect and disconnect activities) to model custom logic.

• Move and delete activities from the Design Area.

• Zoom and pan around the Design Area to explore your workflow.

• Configure properties of each activity in the Properties panel.

• Build and interpret JavaScript expressions as inputs to activities.

• Display suggestions when editing expressions in inputs (auto complete JavaScript expressions).

• Automatically validate workflows, activities and inputs to ensure required inputs are satisfied correctly.

• Access inline help such as a welcome orientation and tooltips on activities, inputs and outputs, and form elements.

• Translate workflows into any language.

• Easily test workflows in an simple embedded Sandbox application.

Running Workflows

End users can use the workflows you author inside ArcGIS Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS and Geocortex Essentials (via Geocortex Viewer for HTML5).

In the initial release, Geocortex Workflow offers the following capabilities for running workflows:
