M-Files evaluates the state transition trigger every 60 minutes?

PJ @ DOC over 1 year ago

I have only two files with state transition that is code based, so these it should evaluate.

Does it go thru those property based too that are not automatic, but are caused user input? Like when Company = "not empty" -> cause transition.

That company would never change without new version.

If that is the case it will go thru all files and therefore takes ages to complete.

Can someone explain how that really works?

Cheers

PJ

M-Files will evaluate objects that are in a workflow state which has an automatic transition to another state. The evaluation happens every 60 minutes and every time the object is changed. For reference, see Evaluation of the triggering criteria in the user guide.

Hi Joonas Linkola,
can this Evaluation of trigger criteria for state transition be decreased?
We have a time sensitive workflow so this is of huge importance to us.
Is there an implementation ID for this already?
Thank you.

There is a server-wide registry setting that can be used for this but I would advise against using it. It would affect all workflow transitions on the server and can add significant overhead to your M-Files vaults if the evaluations are run too often, depending on the number of workflows and transitions you have.

For a time-sensitive workflow I would recommend building a solution based on recurring tasks in the VAF. This would enable you to manage this single workflow only which shouldn't affect the system performance that much.
