• anndy Getting workflow information before the Workflow has run?? (State based)

  hi guys, (We're about to kick a project using WF) To aid us in the UI space, we would like to obtain the following info for each state in our workflow: (1) What state am I in (2) What are my available operations in this state (i.e. approve, reject, abort...) - these are ROLE dependant.

I had hoped that the 'StateHistory' pro ...Show All
