Configure public job queries

Mit der Workflow Manager-Lizenz verfügbar.

Several job query containers and queries are present in Workflow Manager (Classic) by default. These include General Queries (All Jobs query and Unassigned Jobs query), Group Queries (Jobs assigned to my groups and Jobs with steps assigned to my groups), and Personal Queries (Jobs assigned to me and Jobs with steps assigned to me). Job queries in these folders are managed in the ArcGIS Workflow Manager (Classic) Administrator and are available to all users of the system. Users can set any of these as a default query, and that query will execute by default every time the Workflow Manager (Classic) client opens.

Hinweis:

Jobs returned by these queries are affected by job filters applied to groups the user belongs to. Default query currently only works for Windows users and does not support portal users.

Add query folders

Use the tools available to add query containers that are used to organize your queries.

1. Start Workflow Manager (Classic) Administrator and connect to your Workflow Manager (Classic) database.
2. Expand Queries > Public Queries.
3. Right-click the query folder where you want the new folder to reside and click Add Query Container.

   The Query Container dialog box appears.

   Hinweis:

   The Public Queries folder is the highest-level folder.

4. Provide a name for the folder in the Query Container Name text box.

   This is the name that appears for users.

5. Click OK to create the folder.

   The folder is now available to contain other folders or queries.

Add queries

Use the tools available to configure queries that are used to filter your jobs in the application.

1. Start Workflow Manager (Classic) Administrator and connect to your Workflow Manager (Classic) database.
2. Expand Queries > Public Queries.

   This is where you'll choose the job information to be presented to the user in the List View when the query is executed. Workflow Manager (Classic) automatically manages the inter-table relationships in the system. By expanding nodes off of the fields in the job table, you can choose to show more descriptive information in the query result.

6. Add fields to the list by double-clicking them or dragging them to the column on the right.
7. Click the Aliases tab.

   On this tab, you can change the name used to represent each field. You can also reorder the fields. The top field will be the first field on the left, and the bottom field will be the last field on the right.

12. Click OK to save your changes.

Add a query in SQL view

The SQL view is for advanced users who want to construct queries with the traditional SQL statements. These tools allow you to define more complex queries for filtering jobs in the application.
