Extend Datatypes of Databits
Last modified: 2006-06-22 12:44:39 UTC
It would be nice to have the possibility to have a Custom-Function connected with the integrity-check of a Databit. Example: - I have dependencies that one of two fields has to be filled in. - One field only has to be filled in if another field is set to "yes" - One field may contain numbers from 1-100 and the Value "HOLD" I have implemented these dependencies in Conditions. But the User won't get the red highlighted fields in his Task and an errormessage. He is just redirected to do the Dataedit-Task again.
interesting feature: Workflows can define their own custom datatypes, and provide a piece of code that verifies them. (for very special datatypes, eg unity-id, or databits that can only be verified in connection with other data)
another idea: with the new datasets that are independant from a workflow, we could make the fields dynamic, means we could implement an "add" button to let the user add a Databit of any type to his workflows dataset.
workflows can add databits dynamically, we will add new datatypes as we need them.
