WHAT HAPPENS
| ▪ | A data storage database to hold all the workflow information is created the first time the designer clicks the Make Tables option from the popup menu |
| ▪ | The data storage name must unique and cannot be repeated |
| ▪ | Caution: 'Make Tables' on a Workflow will destroy the tables and data |
Definition OF 'System Tables'
| ▪ | When creating the data storage database there are also system tables that are created to hold information about completed Forms, what user/users have tasks available in their task lists etc... |
| ▪ | End users and Designers do not have access to these tables |
How to 'Make Tables'
| ▪ | Making Tables creates or drops and re-creates the tables that contain all the data collected from the web forms in the workflows |
| ▪ | 'Make Tables' must be performed at least once for a workflow to become active |
| ▪ | To Make Tables navigate to the Workflow you wish to generate the database for |
| ▪ | Click once on Workflow Name |
| ▪ | From the pop up menu click on Make Tables |
| ▪ | You will be asked to confirm you are sure as 'Make Tables' destroys all data in all tables |
| ▪ | Error messages will be displayed if there were inconsistencies that are caused by improper Form creation or improper workflow creation |
| ▪ | The first time you 'Make Tables' it will also generate the storage database you specified in the Workflow properties window |
| ▪ | If there are already tables in the database then Kontinuum will first drop all the tables before creating new ones (it is highly recommended that each workflow has its own database)
