In the videos, there is a topic about binding data and advanced admin workflow, but there is not article nor video actually shows you how to make the advanced admin workflow - just an example.
That would be really helpful if someone can help with showing how to create the roles for other people and how to connect the two datasets to each other for that to happen. The video even shows a button on the table that shows students and that you can double-click the row…all that went over my head. The video is way too short. Can you please help?
Okey
Let’s discuss how the admin workflow is created in WIX and with WIX Code.
First of all there is no WIX ADMIN functions out of the box, the stuff in the video is created using WIX Code and with functions created using datasets and controls from the standard library of functions.
The workflow itself is a separate Data Collection where they store the ACTION, the FROM and the TO WHOM information and that information is then used in filters and screens to filter and sort out information.
If we look at the above ADMIN screen for an example I have noted 3 things on the screen.
The ACTION button
This is not a WIX Table or a list, this is controls added on a details page for the applications. If it is some other elements these are not released for public beta yet. But if you add the controls as seen above to your admin section you just add a button like number 1 above and then using WIX Code you change the ACTION and the the TO WHOM in the collection called Workflow in the video and the filters will handle the rest.
The different data presented in table
These are just text controls layed out as a table row with data from dataset.
The filter panel
These are also just standard controls with actions in code so when you click or change them they will filter the dataset used on the page.
You can create a realy good looking admin interface in any way using code and design elements but it will require coding skills to make.
I hope my clarification will help you. I someone wants me to do some video tutorials on this just press LIKE on my answer.
Hey
We are thinking about launching some video tutorials that will show you step by step and also make all code inside every video available for download.
Has there been any development for this thread? I’d love a step by step tutorial on how they got the actions to build a workflow of tasks and approvals like that. Please advise!
Could you please clarify how one accesses the “standard library of functions”? So far with wix code I’ve been able to do a lot of things that I wanted to, but this is something I really need to be able to build.
