==============



The WQW wizard is a specialized query builder that we integrated into dynamics workflow engine. The wizard facilitates the creation of aggregate queries without the need to write custom code for each requirement that we have. This helps us create various complex workflow rules that are not available by the out of box workflow designer. A good usage example is when you need to create Monitoring / Alerting workflows or need to take some action depending on existing or non-existing amount of records that answer a specific set of conditions.


The video demonstration illustrates 2 simple scenarios that make the WQW such a wonderful workflow addition.
The first scenario monitors the amount of long duration outgoing calls that are made by a user. The second scenario alerts a manager when too many on-hold cases are open for a specific user. These are just examples. There is no limit on the type of Alerts or Actions that you can take using the wizard. As long as you are able to build a query around your requirement the wizard will facilitate the actions and enable you to easily create workflow rules depending on the their results.


Another feature that the WQW has to offer is the dynamic binding of values in the current workflow context. If you take a look at the second scenario you’ll notice that the WQW uses the owner attribute dynamically. Since the owner is not known at design time the values are taken from the context at runtime and integrated into the query.


I’m sure this addition will save you hours of tedious development effort. If you have question regarding the wizard fill free to post them here.
The wizard will be available on our website next week. Enjoy…
