We are making our training slides available online. This set of training slides is based on the Joget Workflow v3.1 version. This would be another good avenue for those who are looking for more learning materials to create more values for their organizations. This is the third out of 11 modules that will be posted online every few days. In this module, we will learning on how to create a Process-driven Application by first creating a application container, followed by a simplistic Workflow Process design. By creating a Workflow Process design, we will be learning about elements such as Activity, Tool, Transition, Route, Participant, System Swimlane and so on. After the creation of the Workflow Process, we will then move on to verify the work done by going through the actual Process flow itself.

A Condition transition is used part of decision making process for the purpose of routing in a workflow process. What we have below is a typical "Yes/No", "Approve/Reject" routing by using the following expression. status == "Approved" whereby "status" is a declared Workflow Variable . If the "status" variable contains the exact string of "Approved", then the Workflow would then flows to "Send Approved Proposal". Expressing more with the expression In the "expression" field of the transition element found in your workflow process design, one can  actually put in Javascript coding into it. As long as at the end of it, one of the statement would return a true/false value.  Example: var myRegExp = /dog/; var myText = " My dog smells worse than your dog"; myRegExp.test(myText) would return a true . var myRegExp = /dogie/; var myText = " My dog smells worse than your dog...

We started a community contributed section in our marketplace and in our community site  a while back. Since then, we have been exploring ways to allow the developer community to develop Joget apps or plugins that can be shared to the rest of the Joget community either commercially or as free to use. The e-book, " Easy Joget v3 for Absolute Beginner " contributed by Madeng, has been downloaded/viewed more than 9,000 times. Followed by " Liferay Directory Manager Plugin 1.0 ", which garnered 60 downloads and " Protected Text Field Form Plugin v1.0 " with 47 downloads. Check out the latest contributions, a very useful Property Hash Variable Plugin that allows users to retrieve a property value from any properties file placed in the "wflow" folder; and the Google Apps Directory Manager Plugin, that allows Google Apps users to integrate with Joget Workflow. For more info on how to use the Google Apps Directory Manager Plugin, check out the vi...

Since v3.0, we had done quite a number of code profiling steps and optimized the identified bottlenecks. There is significant performance improvement in v4. In terms of customer implementations, we have a customer in Asia that implemented a cluster of up to 5 servers on AWS (Amazon Web Services) to handle up to 1500 concurrent users. There's another in Europe that has several thousand total users running on a single on-premise server. As Joget Workflow is a platform and not directly an end-user app, the scalability and performance would depend on a number of factors e.g. complexity of the apps and use cases, usage patterns, tuning of the OS/DB/JVM/app server stack, etc.  The best approach would be to perform profiling/sampling on specific apps/use cases that are considered slow, that would give a good indication on any possible bottlenecks/resource contention issues. There is a very general guideline at  http://dev.joget.org/community/display/KBv4/ , but it is...

When v3 was first released in 2012, it made process and database driven application development amazingly fast and easy for programmers and analysts alike. Some of our partners would meet up with their clients and develop a fully functional application as a proof-of-concept (inclusive of their change requests) in 60 minutes or less. The partner would take one of the client's MS Word drawn process flow chart, build the app and automate their process right in front of them! Developing a working app in 60 minutes was super-fast in terms of app development time, but not really suitable for clients that cannot stay at least 60 minutes for a presentation :) Ever since the release of v3, we have been looking for ways to further speed up the development of apps that are supported automatically on mobile devices. So, in v4 we added the App Generator. It would allow anyone to very quickly get their ideas to a proof-of-concept or a minimum viable product stage in 10 minutes or less! Th...
