The Workflow for a Resource class is defined in terms of Resource states and transitions between them.
The transitions come in two flavours, and have the following additional properties
- Guarded transitions: are performed manually by an appoited users.
- The required Privilege
- The action that must be executed before/after the transition is fired.
- The specified popup screen with form needed to fire the transition.
- Temporal transitions: happen automatically at defined moments of time.
- The name of the resource attribute that contains requested transition time
- Behaviour when date is not defined: make transition instantly, or not make it at all
- Stochastic transitions: happen instantly after reaching the origin state, if "dice roll" succeeds
- Dice roll threshold (ranged 0-1)
Each transition has definite origin and destination states. A transition is possible only if the resource is in the origin state, and the additional conditions for the transition are met.
