Often in the course of solution development, sub-routines, functions or interfaces are required that have been tried and tested in the field.  Rather than re-developing solutions to these issues, we have a range of Plug ins available to satisfy particular requirements.

To obtain any of these plug ins, complete the form found here.

Title	Description
Alert Message	This allows a message for a loopback action to be set to the same message as in the previous action.
Business Hours	This provides an administration form where an organization can define the working hours and working days of the working week together with any holidays. Integration Wizard functions are provided that calculate elapsed days or hours based on the working week and excluding any holidays.
Concatenated Drop-Downs	This illustrates how the list displayed in a drop-down field can be generated from two fields in the database by concatenating them. So a drop-down field for name can display the concatenation of the FirstName and LastName fields from the database.
Consolidated Audit Trail	The consolidated status form in the Common section of this process demonstrates a consolidated audit trail of Parent and Child events in sub processes
Date Formatting	This demonstrates how dates can be displayed in formats other than the format selected by the user in their browser settings.
Get Next Folder	This demonstrates how when an action is submitted on one folder in a process, the next folder on the user’s To Do list in the same process can be automatically opened.
Grid Examples	This provides examples of formatting data within a grid. It includes dates, constants, calculations, and concatenations.
Hide at Stages	This shows how buttons can be hidden on folder forms but be made to appear on action forms. Hence the buttons are only available on action forms. The same technique can be used to hide labels or fields in folder forms.
Leap Frog	This illustrates the use of the “Forward folders to stage” property of a system stage. It allows a user to select a stage name for the folder to jump to, whether forwards or backwards, bypassing all stages in between.
Load Balancing	This illustrates a role that causes the folder to be placed on the To Do list of the person in the designated group, who has the fewest folders on their To Do list. It is designed to work with SQL Server and will need changing for use with Oracle.
ODBC Date Comparisons	This demonstrates how to filter folders in a grid on a form based on dates. Special constructs are required when using ODBC to perform date comparisons and this example shows the use of some of those constructs.
Process Monitoring	This short cut is used to monitor the number of folders at a stage in a process at a defined interval and alert the process owner if a defined threshold is breached. Multiple monitors may be set up. Each monitor can be suspended and reactivated.
Return	This provides an example of a command that allows a user to send a folder back to the previous stage. It is designed to work with SQL Server and will need changing for use with Oracle.
Seeking Approval	This demonstrates the use of dynamic roles associated with user actions to make actions available or unavailable to users at a particular stage in the process, depending upon what has happened earlier in the process.
Suspend process	These administration forms allow a process to be suspended for a period of time. When a process is suspended, no new folders can be created in the process and no user actions can be taken on folders in the process.
Unsorted Drop-Downs	This illustrates how drop-downs can be populated from a database table without the contents of the drop-down list being sorted.
