Activating workflow for secondary or custom entities

You can activate workflow for secondary and custom entities that are completely or partially managed by custom application extensions (ASP pages or .NET). The screens for existing system entities do not check for workflow. The following example activates workflow for a custom entity called Project.

1. Add a proj_workflowid column to the Project table in the database.
2. Set datatype to integer.
3. In the custom_tables metadata table, enter a value for Project bord_workflowidfield.
   Copy

   select * from custom_tables where bord_name='project'update custom_tablesset bord_workflowidfield = 'proj_workflowid'where bord_name='project'    

4. Refresh the system metadata. The Project table appears in the list of available tables when you create a new workflow rule.
