Kofax TotalAgility - Changes in WorkTypes within packages for KTA v7.4

Applies To

Kofax TotalAgility v7.4

Question/Scenario

When importing a package into KTA v7.4, we can no longer see the WorkTypes

Background

If we create a package that includes a WorkType in v7.3,
We can see the WorkType in the package:

Similarly, if we are importing this package on another v7.3 environment, we can see the WorkType within the assets:

However, if we attempt to import the same package into a v7.4 environment, we cannot see the WorkType within the assets:

If we attempt to create a package in v7.4, the WorkType is not displayed, and there is no WorkType icon in the ‘Data’ tab:

If the Work Type is associated with a process, it is imported into the v7.4 environment as expected

This was an intentional change in 7.4

If you have a process with a Work Type, the work type must go with the process at all times. Therefore a work type cannot be added or seen in a package as an individual item.
