Calling Workflow Rules

Custom workflow rules allow you to implement application-specific business logic, such as modifying data values before save, saving multiple records to different tables as a single transaction, or sending email notifications after save. You can still use the DataRecord object to send or receive data to/from custom workflow rules.

If the workflow rule is defined using class-level security, use callMethod() from JavaScript, passing the primaryActivity-workflowRuleName-methodName followed by one or more arguments:

try {
var woId = this.cookbookWorkOrderConsole.getFieldValue('wo.wo_id');
var result = Workflow.callMethod( 'AbSolutionsViewExamples-LogicExamples-getRecordByPrimaryKey', woId);
...
} catch (e) {
// handle error: display an error message etc.
Workflow.handleError(e);
}
