Package: plone.app.workflowmanager-overhaul
IntroductionNoteUntil some proper documentation is written for the new graphing interface, take a look at this youtube video to satiate your curiousity:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qORLAIO7xBQThis package provides a GUI for managing custom workflows in Plone.This is the successor of uwosh.northstar’s workflow design tool (North* continues on as a file system product generator, given either a PloneFormGen or Dexterity prototype).Featuresadd/edit/delete new workflowsadd content rule actions easily for a workflow transitiongraph workflowseasily manipulate workflow permissionsGraphingThe package also supports graphing workflows.The inspiration for this piece was pretty much taken from DCWorkflowGraph.In order to enable this feature, you’ll need to install the Graphviz library.
Information can be found athttp://www.graphviz.orgOnce you’ve built Graphviz and have installed it, make sure the “dot”
executable it creates is in your PATH, e.g.export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/binassuming “make install” placed the Graphviz executables into
/usr/local/bin. You can test that your PATH is set correctly if “which
dot” finds the “dot” executable.Then restart your Zope or ZEO client. The next time you are looking at
a custom workflow in Workflow Manager, you should see a new “Diagram”
button. When you click on it, it generates a GIF depicting the
workflow’s states and transitions.You may get better results if your state and transition IDs do not include
hyphens.  Graphviz’ “dot” executable will issue warning messages that you
can find in your instance log if it has trouble understanding the state
and transition names and labels.Plone 3 SupportYou must also have simplejson installed.Changelog1.2a1 (2/12/2015)Rewrote back-end JS to be more predictable and flexible
