I have a roll-up and a calculated field on the Person entity that are working beautifully. There is now a request, however, to trigger a workflow from the calculated field. This is not allowed. Has anyone come up with a workaround for this?
More details:
The rollup field is Total Transfer Hours, which contains the total number of hours/credits transferred in from all prior colleges.
The calculated field is Eligible for Online Orientation. It is calculated based on the Total Transfer Hours (if > 24 it is Yes, else No).
I've created an Eligible for OO Copy field. I thought I could:
- Create a workflow that ran once an hour (after the Calculate Rollup Field process) that would copy the calculated Eligible for Online Orientation to the Copy field.
- And, to handle the situation where staff recalculate Eligible for Online Orientation immediately, I thought I could create a workflow that is triggered by a change to prior college Transfer Hours field. It would wait a minute then perform the copy.
I think there is probably a better way to handle this, though.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you
