Hello again,

This question is associated with a previous question I had which can be found at Want to add a SEARCH COLUMN for ....? .

I installed the "WorkflowStateAddin - 1(WLM Services LLC)" recently and found it to be very helpful but lacking in one area that is very important to me. That is, there is not a menu selection to add a Menu Command for running the addin.

Here is an image of the PDF Task. Note, it DOES have a Menu Command choice available:

The "Workflow State Task Addin" does not offer this choice:

Can anyone provide some guidance on how I can add the "Menu Command" selection to the "Workflow State Task Addin".

Thanks!!

No one else has this question

If you watch the video on how to set it up on YouTube, you'll see that it is a scheduled Task not run from a menu.

Yes, I am aware that there is a scheduling feature and it can be helpful. However, I still want the choice to apply the task to a menu command so I can make it available to someone else besides admin.

Guess I'm missing something. What do you want to happen when you choose it from a menu?

I want any EPDM user to be able to run the task. The only easy way I can think of doing this is to have a menu command available that I can let them use.

The Task will run as long as there is at least one machine set up to run it that remains logged in.

True. However, I still have my original question open.

Can anyone provide some guidance on how I can add the "Menu Command" selection to the "Workflow State Task Addin"?

The Task code must be written to be launched from a menu. Since you don't have the code you'll have to ask the original developer to do this.
