This Workflow Extension will give you the possibility of extending your Project Administration with the help of Work Items!
- Let customers or other departments request new projects for your Polarion installation without giving them permissions to create them on their own. You can check new requests, approve them and directly create the requested Project from the item.
- Copy common user role assignments between projects
- you are missing a subtract operation for calculated fields? Work around it using the CopyField Action. (Detailed instructions can be found in the attached Readme.pdf)
Using this Package you will get the following functionality which can be used on any workflow action:
| Workflow Function | Description |
|---|---|
| CreateProject | Create a Project in a specified location. |
| UpdateProjectDetails | Configure Tracker Prefix, name of the Project and the description directly from a Work Item |
| CreateUsers | Create new User(s) directly from a Work Item |
| AssignRoles | Use this extension to reuse project role assignments by just copying a Work Item based configuration |
| AssignAuthor | Assign the Author of an Item as Assignee |
| CopyField | Copy a negative float field value to another field to enable subtraction for calculated fields |
| CreateWorkItemInTargetProject | Create a work item of the specified type in the specified target project |
| DeleteProject | Delete a project directly from a Work Item |
A readme with detailed installation and usage instructions is part of the downloaded zi file.
In the Package you can also find an example project template with a configuration which has a specified process to test all included workflow actions:
- Create a new Work Item to Manage a new Project and let yourself be assigned to the item
- Create a new Project
- Configure the Project Parameters
- Create new Users for the project
- and assign these new users roles for the new project
- copy a float field to see the negative value of it in the target field
- create a first task in the created project
- delete the project again if the test is done!
This Extension will be updated regularly to extend its functionality, so have a look from time to time!
