Customers with an ACP license can select and add the "ACP Workflow Form" Gadget to a Section, containing fields to select the desired Workflow to Run, Title, and map input options. Multiple Forms may be added to a Section, in order to run additional Workflows or option settings. When complete, click "Save".
Once enabled, the Gadget will show on the resource page of the section type. Input the field data necessary for the Workflow, and click "Execute Workflow" to process the chain of workflow calls.
In this example, a "Customer Turn-Up" Workflow was selected (created in ProVision's ACP product) that performed six functions with one button click. The successful "Execute" for "Customer Turn-Up" created a new customer resource entry, assigned IPv4 and IPv6 blocks to them, created a DNS zone for the hostname, and lastly created 'A' and 'AAAA' records for the zone. |
