Licensing and Installation FAQ
What is an Enterprise User?
An Enterprise user is someone who needs to login to Joget Workflow to use the system. If a form requires the person to "login" before he/she can use the form, then that person is a user and requires a user license.
What does "3 Users Free" mean?
The Enterprise Edition comes default with "3 Users free". The "3 users" refer to users who can login to Joget Workflow. In the image below, the 3 free users will always be the first three in the user listing (username sorted alphabetically). If user "cat" is deleted, then "david" will be one of the 3 free users.
If you have applied a trial activation for more than 3 users. Please take note that when the trial license expires, it will revert the license back to the 3 free users as define above. Before the trial license expires, it is very important to ensure that the "admin user" is one of these 3 users; or there will not be any user with administrator access to the system.
How do I get my "system key"?
In your Joget Workflow Admin web console (http://localhost/jw/web/login), scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on "License: Joget Workflow v5 Enterprise".
The following window will appear with the system key and license activation form.
Or you can read this how-to article, "How to Activate Your Joget Workflow Enterprise License?"
What is the best platform to run Joget Workflow? - Linux or Windows? If Linux, do you provide a start/stop script such that if I reboot my server, the service can be auto started?
This one depends on your preference. If your IT team is comfortable with Linux, then by all means run on Linux. However, you will need to write a start-up script to auto start the server. As for Windows, you can start the server as a service in order to auto start.

Features FAQ
Is it possible for the requestor to view his request history from the userview?

If your process requires users to "reject" or "cancel" a task, it can and should be designed into your process itself. For example, in your form, include an option to "accept", "complete" or "reject". Or use a JogetWF feature to allow submission of a form before starting a process by mapping the form to the "Run Process" activity. Also, the administrator can stop a process while it is running.

Yes. Use the ID Generator Field element in Form Builder to generate a running number. The ID Generator field is a read-only field.
Can a form be designed to allow a user to add multiple rows of items?
Yes. Form Builder allows users to add multiple rows (with support for simple calculations) of items.
I noticed that we can export XPDL process flows but not the forms. Is there any way to export forms (as a backup)?
...
Yes; you can automatically kick-start another process after one ends, using the JSON plugin.
What is the best platform to run JogetWF? - Linux or Windows? If Linux, do you provide a start/stop script such that if I reboot my server, the service can be auto started?
This one depends on your preference. If your IT team is comfortable with Linux, then by all means run JogetWF on Linux. However, you will need to write a start-up script to auto start JogetWF. As for Windows, you can start the server as a service in order to auto start.
Why do I keep getting "Please wait while the image is being generated..." message for my Process thumbnail?
You will get this only when you're viewing the process for the first time and only if your process is very complicated, with many activities. It will then require some time to generate the image. Sometimes, it can also take very long because of multiple processes in your app. Generating the previerw image for each process can take a longer time.
