Workflows - Getting started

Post by chewza »

Hi there

Still a relative newbie to PAW. Can anyone point me in the direction of some good collateral on Workflows. Have googled around and checked out youtube, but not somehow not finding anything. In the AMA sessions, sounds like a lot of of new features are also coming along - responsibility hierarchy, locking etc. So sounds pretty exciting.

Many thanks!

Hi,

PAW has the concept of Plans, and I believe Plans are IBM's idea of Workflow. As you say new features in PAW are released regularly and Plans isa fairly new thing, so probably quite a few new features are around Plans.

I have seen it in use and it seems ok up to a point, but I would say that as things stand workflow that is fit for purpose does not yet come 'out of the box' and some manual effort on the part of the developer is required. Typically a workflow cube with submission status etc.

Happy to be corrected as my experience of Plans is pretty limited.

Sadly, I don't have any collateral I can share.

Maren
