Printing out workflow

Interestingly enough, FinalBuilder is actually pretty good at describing a workflow - all the steps one goes through to produce an end product. It’s probably even worthwhile adding in comments like “Now Bill makes an entry in the yellow workbook” or whatever…

However: It doesn’t seem possibly to print this workflow out. It would be really great if that was possible, and especially if it could (optionally) substitute in action lists wherever they get called, so you could see the complete start-to-finish workflow to build the product from scratch. Other export options like images, web pages etc would obviously be handy too…

Yes, I’ve thought about this also. The ability for FB to produce a document of what it’s doing in a human-readable format. Perhaps it could scrape all of the comments out of each action and then product a document in a formatted structure to show what’s going on.

I’ve noticed that when you save FB in text format, it’s just a big XML document, so the document is already there…albeit a hard-to-read one.

Have you seen the create project summary option under the project menuy.

This should get would you are after. If not, you can always change the default xslt.

Ah, yes…that’s exactly what I’m after. Thanks again Raoul.

…Could’ve sworn that wasn’t there yesterday :wink:

Well done again FB.

and if anyone wants to contribute a better xslt file that outputs the project in a different/nicer/prettier/funkier format then please share :slight_smile:

Thanks, that's nice - if a little confusingly named? However, for me it seems a bit buggy, the "Actions" column is always empty, so my main script just looks like

Actions | Is Enabled | Has Script | Ignore Failure
| True | | False
| True | | False
| True | | False
| True | | False
| True | | False
| True | | False
| True | | False
...

Same is true for my other action lists. The "Action List Summary" is ok, though.


I'll investigate the scary world of XSLT's next...:)

Steve

oops, that’s a bug… will investigate asap.

Fixed - sorry about that!
