Can we create a new table record instead of Request Item when we click on order now in catalog item page ?

[Ajai S Nair]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to create a catalog item in such a way that when submitted it will create a record in another table not in request item. The details entered in the form should not be saved in variable ownership table. It should be only visible to some security group. So the record should be in a new table. I have different levels of approvals and a workflow in it so wont be able to do this with record producer.

I tried creating a workflow on the new table and attach it on the catalog item but it is creating a new request item and attaching this workflow to that.

Any help is appreciated .

Regards,

Ajai

Yes I have seen that but it is based on a field type there and if its emergency then one workflow and something else then other. But I was looking for something like, the workflow will be directly attached when the record is created.

Thanks for reminding me about the change process. I will try something like that.

You have a unique table with no workflow existing. Even if you don't mention the condition, the workflow will still get attached since it defined on the table.

Hi Ajai,

Just a few things of note:

1) You can also use the Workflow object (created from calling the Script Include) to attach and start any workflow you wish (that is defined on your table) to your task from within a script.

2) A record producer is really just a front-line data collector and doesn't persist after submission.   To drive approvals I think you're by necessity going to have to create some kind of task/record first (this may not have to be your end-result record in your custom table, however).

3) You can also look into using a wizard with a record generating panel instead of just a record producer.   If you define it on the global table, you can script it to create/do pretty much anything you want.

Thanks,
