Manage fleet vehicles with SharePoint sample workflow
Still published and available on the original platform.
This sample allows a company, such as a cable company, to better manage is fleet of vehicles. A fleet manager workflow instant starts when a new vehicle is added to the fleet (as an item in a SharePoint list).
Three months (simulated in the sample as three minutes, but easily changed) following the last maintenance cycle, the workflow instance takes the vehicle out of service and assigns a task to the maintenance department to do an oil change. When the task is completed, the vehicle is put back in service. If out-of-cycle maintenance is required on a vehicle, the app allows users to enter a maintenance request. This maintenance request page sends a custom event to the workflow to put the vehicle into maintenance.
When Microsoft retired their MSDN site, it impacted their Code Samples. Therefore, the link referenced for this sample may no longer work.
