Progress Bar on Editor View

In our example the state change is done in a separate workflow which is executed by a rule.

Script Contents

We have to get the Progress Bar from the BO first.

prb= system.getProgressBar()

Now let's define a condition, which lets the script continue only if the Name field of the BO is NOT empty. Now the script will continue only if the BO has been saved.

name = system.getBOField("name").getValue()
if (name != None):

Now let us change the states:

  pbTask = prb.getTask("Active")
  pbTask.SetState(VM.PB_TASK_DONE)

  pbTask = prb.getTask("Planned")
  pbTask.setState(VM.PV_TASK_ACTIVE)

The states are changed, but the GUI needs to be updated:

prb.updateGUI()

Create the Action

Create an action for the Workflow definition.

Set the rule

Let us create a rule which will execute the action whenever the systemname field is changed.

Add this rule to the View Rules.

We have now finished setting up a rule, which will change the state of our Progress Bar tasks for this particular view.
