    • Triggers to move Items between Categories and create Items in other Trackers

    Posted by potential_user posts: 2

    Hello

    I am evaluating Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware for use at work, primarily as an issue tracker and inventory tracker. If successful, we might also use if for workflows at a later stage.

    I played around with the demo server at demo.tiki.org but was unable to figure out how to enable some of the more advanced fields from the videos. I was also unable to create any triggers for transitions between categories or triggers in a tracker to automatically create new items in another tracker upon some change.

    Is the demo server just very limited? Does Tiki have any features to create new items in other trackers if something changes in an item?

    I read somewhere that workflows are now handled by the category transitions, but I was unable to create any triggers for the transitions in the demo server. In order to try this, I had made several trackers with items and several categories and assigned those items to categories. I was able to create a transition, but unable to figure out the triggers (and guards?).

    I spent several hours trying to find answers in the docs and also in these forums, but wasn't able to find anything that works in the demo server or even answers to all my questions.

    Can anyone point me to the right docs or let me know if these features even exist in Tiki?

    I am a software developer, and willing to make small scripts to help facilitate the desired behaviour, but my time is limited. Larger code changes would be out of scope for me.

    Thanks for any answers!

    Hi potential_user,

    Sorry, I can't help on that but I suggest you try asking at the Tiki Matrix chat - https://gitter.im/tiki-org/community - which is more active than the forums here and there's a better chance of getting an answer.

    Thanks, Gary, I'll give that a try.

    I am currently trying to install Tiki on a Raspberry Pi to see if I can answer the questions myself. Im hoping that the demo server is just limited and that the features I asked about are possible in Tiki.

    Hi potential_user,

    I am quite sure, that the demo server is quite limited due to the vast amount of features and configuration opportunities.

    As far as I see, both of your requests are possible, but as I have been not active for quite a while, I cannot tell off-hand how exactly you have to configure your use case.

    Maybe you could describe the desired workflow of your use case - issue tracker and inventory tracker - a bit more detailed. I'd be happy to try to figure out my self.

    Regards,
    Torsten
