exercise to play around with OO. Classes are very efficient because you only
write the code that you need. A tip here is to create a class with a dummy key
and specify the key as the initial value in your workflow container. This is
because the link will only appear for an object instance, and this way saves
you instantiating the object in your workflow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Let me check if I've understood you correctly. I create a
new BOR object which has a default method which executes the enhancement. I
bind in this object so it appears as a link in the work item. Then the user can
click on it to execute the enhancement if needed? <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Could I do that with an OO class - can you just bind an OO
instance in to a work item so it appears as a link?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I think this approach would work, although it seems a shame
to create a new object/class just for the purpose. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a requirement for a work item. It needs to have a
link to a couple of BOR objects (that's fine - we can just bind them in) and also
a link to a custom enhancement. The users may not need to use all of these
links, but they have to have the option should they need to. To call the
enhancement we could use the method on the work item task but the problem is
that if we did it this way then the enhancement would be called any time the
user executes the work item, and many users seem to execute work items without
realising it by double clicking to display them (rather than selecting the work
item from the list and clicking display). <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is there an easy way around this? We could make the work
item a decision task where if the user wants to call the enhancement they
select that option and the workflow calls the enhancement in the subsequent
step. The problem with that is if the user clicks to execute the enhancement
and then wants to go back to view the objects that we're binding in. It just
all seems to get a bit messy. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hope I'm missing something obvious!<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks, <o:p></o:p></p>
