Hi Radel,

I’m also not sure in which context this is necessary. If they leave the element they should get the message from Jack. This should apply also if the tab is closed.


The only situation I could think of, if the users leave the tab open in the background.
Then you could get into a situation where you forget to save.
In theory you could create some JavaScript to check whether an alert should be created after a specific time. I’m not sure that it would work in an inactive tab though. You could test it by setting a timeout to 3 minutes, execute the code and switch to other tabs so that the browser may decide to put these to sleep.

Best regards,

Hi. I have created 'start new workflow path', added mass action button in the report and duplicated all 500+ instances to the new form type. Then, using API and 'for each', I have deleted old instances.
Thank you all for your support.
Job done :)

HI,
When would you like have a reminder? Move each path saves the entire form.

By default, WEBCON reminds you to save (screenshot)

Hi,
Is it possible to remind the user to save the form after adding several items to the item list (WFD_SubElems).
I ask because users report a problem, such that they forget to save (click on the transition path).

Hi Andreia,

the fields I'm using are just used to demonstrate the difference between the "Last comment" and the business rule for getting the current comment.

You would simply use the business rule in the condition of the If operator.

It would be up to you where you use this. It could be generally in the OnSaving action globally, or in the saving trigger of the step.

I will be on vacation for the next two weeks, so I will be less active.


Best regards,
Daniel

HI Daniel,

I want to send a notification is someone enters a comment in that step.
I checked your post, so you are creating something like
- Technical FIeld that saves last comment
- Technical field that saves a new comment
- Use both fields as execution condition
- If different, an email is sent

I have some questions:
- Where are you configuring this action? Instance saving, etc? In the workflow or global actions?
- I don't want to send any notifications with emails that might happen due to path transition, only if in that step, someone enters a comment

Thank you

I didn't think of this option, but that's how ideas are born. :)


Depending on your version and whether you can execute SDKs you could download this:
2021
https://github.com/Daniel-Krueger/webcon_cclsactions/releases/tag/0.1
2022
https://github.com/Daniel-Krueger/webcon_cclsactions/releases/tag/0.2

It has an action to change the form type. Since I'm using the official SDK it is supported.

Then you could add a custom path and use mass actions.

Best regards,
Daniel

You gave me an idea. I could just start new instances on the basis of the current ones copying all data and atachments and than delete the old. Thanks,

I know. I read the article before posting. Thanks.

I think that changing WFD_DTYPEID in the database is definitely not a good idea ;)

also remember that even manually changing the form type using the "Change form type" action causes a new process to be started (from the first step only with the same WFD_ID)
