Kintana Script : Standardizing Icon Usage

 

Purpose

You need to be very consistent about the icons you use for workflow steps.
To make the system easy for users you should use the same icon to represent the same action.

Icons are stored in the {KINTANA_HOME}\icons directory.

Tested

With HP PPM (Project and Portfolio Management) Kintana v6.0.

Usage

Paste the script into SQL Runner

Omit the comment, spool, and linesize statements if you're using SQL RUNNER.
SQL Runner only supports select statements and you'll get a KNTA-10648 error.

If using PL-SQL change 'yyyymmdd' in the output file name to today's date.

Script kintana_design_standardizing_icon_usage
spool c:\icon_usage_yyyymmdd.txt
set linesize 1000
select unique wa.icon_name "Icon Name" , wa.approval_name "Step Name", 'APPROVAL' "Step Type"
from KWFL_APPROVALS wa
where wa.icon_name is not NULL
union
select unique we.icon_name "Icon Name" , we.execution_name "Step Name", 'EXECUTION' "Step Type"
from KWFL_EXECUTIONS we
where we.icon_name is not NULL
union
select unique wc.icon_name "Icon Name", wc.condition_name "Step Name", 'CONDITION' "Step Type"
from KWFL_CONDITIONS wc
where wc.icon_name is not NULL
union
select unique ww.icon_name "Icon Name", ww.workflow_name "Step Name", 'WORKFLOW' "Step Type"
from KWFL_WORKFLOWS ww
where ww.icon_name is not NULL
spool off
Output
Icon Name       Step Name                Step Type
