All container interfaces, such as the init, edit, smart task, and case activity interfaces have been extended with three new properties string odataUri, string processUri, and object AuthorizationHeader. See Init form container interface, Edit form container, Smart tasks container, and Case activity container.

Selector controls were upgraded

In WorkZone Process 2017 the selector controls in forms have been upgraded. For more information about the upgrade, see Upgrade selector controls from 2016 to 2016 R2.

Two elements were removed from the html forms:

wzp-usertask-rollbackselector-panel-helper: Previously this attribute was used in "<ui:usertask ng-controller="ApproveTaskCtr" ui-intl="task.Submission." formname="taskform" wzp-usertask-rollbackselector-panel-helper>". From now on, you can just use "<ui:usertask ng-controller="ApproveTaskCtr" ui-intl="task.Submission." formname="taskform" >"

ng-controller="uiActionsCustomController": Previously this element was used in "<ui:actions capability="execute" ng-disabled="isNotValid()" ng-controller="uiActionsCustomController">". From now on, you can just use- "<ui:actions capability="execute" ng-disabled="isNotValid()" >"

Data model changes

The following new elements have been added to the registers and tables in the data model:

  • WZP_CASE_ACTIVITY
  • WZP_CASE_ACTIVITY_HISTORY
  • WZP_SERVICE
  • WZP_SERVICE_PARAMETER
  • WZP_MAIL_NOTIFICATION

In this guide, the descriptions in the Database section was updated and the information is now divided into descriptions of tables and registers.

For more information about the new database elements, see Database.

Case activity graphs available for workflows

You can now use case activity graphs to model workflows in WorkZone for standard work processes as well as for ad-hoc tasks.

Case activity graphs enable you to model tasks in responsive workflows and the flow of tasks need not be known in advance. You can, for example, handle conditions such as these:

  • The order of activities to be completed can vary.
  • All possible activities need not be executed within each workflow.
  • Activities must be repeated or disregarded depending on the outcome of other activities.

Integration

New integration features are now available. See Integration.

New form types

New form types have been introduced. Now the following form types are available:

    Init Forms
    Smarttasks forms
    Edit forms
    CaseActivity forms

For more information, see The forms concept.
