Create my Own Workflow Tool for Workflow Toolbox

Workflow

Updated June 7, 2019

asked on June 7, 2019

I'd like to create a Workflow tool that does some stuff for emails and CSV's.

I googled a few times and I just seem to find links and resources that let me buy Workflow.

Can anyone link me to some documentation that will guide me through creating my own Workflow tool with C#.

I want to add a front end to it that gives the end user/developer a wizard to setup the tool.

Please help!

You are describing creating your own custom workflow activities. A good starting point is the documentation and sample custom activities that should have been installed on your Workflow server. The default installation location for those files is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Laserfiche\Laserfiche Workflow 10\SDK". Look for the "Building Custom Activities in Workflow 83 (C#)" PDF.

You will need Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 or later to develop custom workflow activities and a working knowledge of the Laserfiche SDK. There are several posts available on the Answers website that will also prove helpful. You can also post any specific questions on the Answers website as you work through the samples.

Hello De Wet Van Der Merwe ,

In addition to what cliff said, you can use the SDK script activity withing the workflow toolbox in order to manipulate CSV and Excel files.

All the documentation necessary for the script is found within the Laserfiche SDK 10.2 .NET Documentation found in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Laserfiche\SDK 10.2 Documentation

Adding a front end to it althought might redirect you to Cliff Primmer answer.

Thanks but the purpose of what I am trying to achieve is so that other people don't have to write scripts.

I want to make a tool which I can make accessible to the public.

I had months of struggling on my own with CSV and how to export data in the format.

Things like pulling documents out of an email account.

You know? All sorts of stuff people struggle with which LF doesn't have as an option and can only be achieved with C# etc.

Thanks again Joseph Maary!
