ProEd supports versioning of the workflow process. Each workflow process contains an inherent attribute that describes its version. XForm files are created and stored on the server in a repository organized by project version. Therefore, there can be separate versions of a workflow project, each accompanied by a distinct set of XForms.
The version consists of a major version number and a minor version number, and is represented in the conventional decimal notation of MajorVersion.MinorVersion . A new workflow project is created with an initial version of 1.0. If an existing workflow project that does not contain version information is opened, it will be given a version of 1.0.
Whenever the user performs the SaveAs operation, the option is presented to increment by one either the major version or the minor version. Saving a workflow project to a new file in this manner is the only way to change the version number. When the version is changed via this SaveAs mechanism, the currently existing XForms will be duplicated for the new version. Subsequently, the prior version's XPDL and XForms can be modified independently of the new version's.
There is no requirement for the format of the name of a workflow process’s XPDL file, however, the following format is recommended and will be proposed in the dialogs whenever a new file name is needed:
WorkflowProcessName_version.xpdl
as in:
MedicalWorkflow_1.0.xpdl
