Loop Until - workflow (basic pay change)

former_member299739 — Mon, 25 May 2015 09:27:40 GMT

Hi everyone,

I need some help to finish a workflow related to basic pay change. I am not being able to complete the loop until task. Does anyone has any idea what am I doing wrong?

The loop itself looks OK. It will loop until the container element flag has value '0001' (or is it just the opposite?).

But the way the loop is "alone" is not OK. I guess you want to put something inside the loop, right? For example you could copy (or cut) the whole user decision block (right-click the user decision step and then copy or cut), and then click the area just above the loop icon (inside the loop) and paste. Now the user decision block will get looped until the condition is met.

Hi Karri,

Yes. I guessed the loop wasn't correct because as you said, the loop is "alone. I just didn't know how I should put everything inside the loop. I'm gonna try your suggestion.

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,

Catarina.

And if you are afraid that you will break something, generate a new version in the workflow builder (You can find this functionality from the menu). If you mess up something, you can always return to the older version.

It is a normal procedure to cut and paste something into a loop. This is actually kind of necessary, if you build the other stuff before adding the loop into the template. Of course if you put the loop to the template first, then you can start adding the other steps inside the loop.

Hi Karri,

I think now it's correct right?

Again, thank you.

Kind regards,

Looks fine. Now just test whether it works as you planned.

Kind regards,

Hi Karri,

Do you have any idea of how can I change the outcomes of a certain task/activity?

I would like to change the outcomes presented in the image bellow to approved - rejected basic pay change.

It is possible to add lines in the outcomes bar or do I need to change the method of the object type?

Kind regards,

Catarina.

You need to change the method. I hope you are aware of the whole business object delegation process (=you can kind of "replace" the standard object, and add for example your own method to it and then of course you can do whatever you want). If the standard object does not meet all the requirements, this is the way to go.
