Workflow tab disabled in Data Manager

[Former Member]

Hi SDNers,

In Data Manager, in record mode the <b>workflow</b> tab is disabled (greyed),

I am logged in as Administrator, tell me if some authority or role settings are to be checked?

Thanks,

Gautam.

Hi Gautam,

did you install the workflow component of MDM on your local PC?

Hi Michael,

I have installed Microsoft Visio on my local pc.

Still the workflow tab is greyed out.

Thanks,

Hi Gautam,

You have to install the work flow component of MDM and also the microsoft visio.

Then open the microsoft visio separately for the first time.

Then go the workflow tab. It will work.

Gautam,

The workflow component to install is included with the GUI Clients and named MDMWorkflowInstall_Ver5.5??.exe. You will need to install this on each client PC running the Data Manager which you want the Workflow tab to be active on.

Visio is only needed to create the actual workflows. Only users who will create workflows need Visio. Other users that will only be included in the workflow processes do not need to have Visio if they will not be creating workflows.

Tim
