EnterWorks - ETT 118 - How to Mass Advance Work Items in Multiple Workflows and Repositories

The majority of interactive workflows in an EnterWorks implementation process one repository record per EPX Work Item.  By default, each repository record must be opened and sent in workflow for each manual activity.  There are many use-cases where a user may have a large number of work items ready for advancement.  It is possible to implement an EPX workflow that monitors a control attributes in the repository connected to workflow and advances the work items at a specific activity if the control attribute is set to a value indicating the associated work item can be advanced in workflow without having to open each record in the UI and performing the send to workflow (Save and Send in the Classic UI) operation.  The EnterWorks Tech Talk session (ETT 064 - How to Support Mass-Advancement of Work Items) showed how to create a workflow to advance work items at a specific activity in a specific workflow.  This solution requires setting up steps in the workflow for each manual activity at which work items can be mass-advanced.  By defining a Mass Advance registry repository and using a workflow that processes the records in this repository, the same workflow can be used for enabling mass-advancement of work items in any manual activity in any interactive workflow.  This session shows how to configure the registry repository and corresponding workflow, then define entries in the registry for each workflow and manual activity for which work items can be mass-advanced.
