How can I check the status (running of the automation, when does the automation completes, etc.) as either a widget or a variable in the Workshop application.
Context: Automation is triggered based on addition of an object in a target object set, using a button in the workshop application. Automation then runs multiple AIP logic files, which updates other object sets/data sets. Once the automation is completed, Workshop app displays the resultant objects from the object sets. I need an indicator in the workshop app to let the user know that the automation is completed or is in progress for it to wait for the results.
There is no first-class way to do this via widgets/variables within Automate or Workshop right now. However, you can create an ontology object to track this status, then modify this status on the object through an Action on the automation before the logic begins executing. This will alert you to whether an automation is being run.
I noticed that the AIP Logic flow widget in workshop does show automate flows that are indirectly triggered (e.g. by watching a property change) but I am not sure what happens when multiple Flows are running.
I want to run 3 AIP logic files or their counter Actions in parallel. Are you suggesting to create a Status ObjectSet and add a record in it with the trigger of the automation and then modify the ingestion functions of each AIP logic file to change status in different columns?
