Hello,

We have 3 custom work order tracking applications (clones of WOTRACK) and we want to restrict the work order status based upon the app and also with some specific conditions.

For example, to start with the simple one - we have a custom work order tracking app titled "LBL_WO" and there is a work order status titled "AUTH_WAPPR" (waiting authorizer approval) which should visible only in "LBL_WO" custom app when user invoke "Chang WO Status" dialog box.

Hello!

Just guess (after some testing this case). As status change is done through separate dialog window, maybe that window doesn't has appname information?

Hi there, 

Couple queries:

• Are the users of each of the Workorder Tracking applications shared?
• Is the autonumber / site options of the workorders different for each of the clones? 
• Is there an database config field specific to that type of workorder?

I have restricted access to status change options via security groups before, i.e. where the SYNONYMNDOMAIN conditional expression checks the :user against a specific security group to see if that person is allowed to use that status.

Similarly, if the site for the workorders or the autonumber is set to be different, e.g. A1234 for workorders in area A and B1234 for workorders in area B, then you could set the expression to exclude the status change for that site / autonumber / location.

Hi Pankaj,  Please create a custom condition using automation script and attach it to WOSTATUS - AUTH_WAPPR values. 

Reference link - CustomConditionlink

sample scripts: 

if app == 'CUSTOM_WO':
    evalresult=true
    
appName = mbo.getThisMboSet().getParentApp()
if appName == 'CUSTOM_WO':
    evalresult=true

Please let me know if this option works.

Thanks,

Suren

Hi Pankaj, 

Yes. evalresult is implicit variable.

Please refer this link on how to create an condition of type class using automation script.

Pankaj,

If you decide to do this through Conditional Expression Manager, you might have to create conditions for TWO objects: WOSTATUS and WOCHANGESTATUS (it's what I had to do anyway).  And because of the Attribute names in those tables, you may have to use a different Condition.  For example, in mine, I have restrictions on INPRG.  One condition starts with :status and the other (on the WOCHANGESTATUS object) starts with :wostatus

Making the Condition for WOCHANGESTATUS controls what is shown in the Change Status dialog.  The Condition for WOSTATUS changes what the WORKORDER itself can accept.

Then you need to apply BOTH conditions to your status in the Domains application, WOSTATUS domain.
