How does add subtract in the Workflow>> assembly call works.
I do understand that ypu can write your own custom workflows, register it
and then call them from here, but I am pretty confused with the existing
functionality.

workflows can call other workflows
workflows can also call a method in a .net assembly. ie you could write a
piece of code in c# or vb.net and then have the workflow call your code.

I think SAM means, how do you use the 2 assemblies supplied in the workflow
manager called 'Add Date and Time' and 'Subtract Date and Time'. I have had
a go and can't see what you can do with them.

You select the assembly, tell it the date time field you want then the
offset in say years. But where do you tell it where you want the result put?
I think I have the wrong end of the stick.

To put the result of the standard assembly calls into an attribute it takes
two steps:

1. Run the "Add date and time" assembly call, give it a name, and choose
your parameters.
2. Choose Insert Action | Update Entity | Choose the entity | Choose the
field | choose "=" | select the lookup icon | choose "Dynamic Value" | In the
"Entity" drop down you will find the name of the assembly that you created in
step 1. Choose it. |

Choose "OK" and "OK" and you are done!

Hope this helps
