Add the guided data view to a workflow step

The documentation of workflow configuration is not yet available in the documentation of Alfabet 11.x releases. This description is limited to the definition of a guided data view as view of workflow step. For a complete overview of workflow configuration, refer to the Alfabet 10.15 documentation.

A workflow step can be configured to open a guided data view. The configuration is slightly different for a workflow step for an existing object or a workflow step for creating a new object.

If a user creates a new object, an editor is always opened prior to the guided data view. The user must enter at least the mandatory data like the name of the object. Afterwards, the user can either proceed via the editor or click a button on the bottom of the editor to proceed with the guided data view. Therefore, a workflow step for creating a new object needs to open an editor. A guided data view must be specified in addition to the editor to enable the button opening the guided data view.

In the workflow step attributes, the following attributes must be set to enable a guided data view for a workflow step for creating new objects in the Type section of the attribute window:
- Type: Select Editor.
- View: Select the editor that shall open for the workflow step in the drop-down list.
- Target Guided Data View: Select the guided data view that shall be available via button interaction from the editor. The guided data view will render as the first tab of the workflow step. the second tab onwards will be populated from the workflow step content area.
The workflow step can either open the guided data view stand-alone or in combination with a class-based content area. If both the guided data view and the class-based content area are defined, users can switch between the class-based content area ( Analysis View ) and the guided data view ( Data Entry View) via a toggle button.

The first tab is the Guided Data View which can be toggled to show the target content area. The second tab onwards are the tabs for the workflow step content area pages.

In the workflow step attributes, the following attributes must be set to enable a guided data view for a workflow step for creating new objects in the Type section of the attribute window:
- Type: Select GuidedDataView.
- View: Select the guided data view that shall open for the workflow step in the drop-down list.
- Target Content Area: Optionally select a class-based content area that shall be available via a toggle button in the toolbar of the guided data view.
