Creating a Workflow

Now that you have the form, groups, users, and properties that you need, you are ready to create the ChangeRequest workflow using the default values.

  1. Click Start > Programs > StarTeam > Workflow Designer. The Workflow Designer opens.
  2. Click File > New. The New dialog box appears.
  3. Select a server configuration. If the Log On dialog box appears, log on using a valid user name and password. Click New. The New Workflow Properties dialog box displays.
  4. In the Item Type list, select the item type on which the workflow is based. You can create a workflow for the following item types: file, change request, requirement, task, and topic.
  5. In the Workflow Responsibility list, select the item property that indicates responsibility for a step. If you are creating a workflow for change requests, the default is Responsibility. You may change this, for example, if you have created a custom property to track responsibility or choose to use another user ID field.
  6. From the Workflow Control Property list, select the item type’s property that will control the workflow. This property is always an enumerated type. It may be a custom property or an existing application property that is customizable. If you are creating a workflow for change requests and have created a custom property with the internal name Usr_StarFlowStatus, the list defaults to that property’s display name (usually Workflow Status).
  7. From the Entry Step list, select "0. Entered".
  8. Click OK.
