Initial Task submit options ??

[_Nith_]

While invoking processes through workspace, there is submit button at the right bottom corner.

Is it possible to add multiple buttons so that the initiator of the process choose one option(button) from a list of buttons??

Thanks,

Nith

You're using ES right? Then you can use the name of the routes that go off of the Assign Task operation as the button labels:

In ES2, it's even easier --  you create User Actions:

I need this for the very first user (i.e for the task manager endpoint), because I'm not using AssignTask operation.

You can include multiple submit buttons on the form--the buttons will appear on the form, and not in the workspace UI.

From http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/acrobat_designer/001007.html:

"When a form design has multiple indirect submit buttons pointing to one or more submit buttons, LiveCycle Workspace ES disables the LiveCycle Workspace ES Complete button. The user must click the appropriate button on the form to submit it. The user can still save a draft version of the form or take the form offline."

I've never tried this before though. I hope it solves your situation

Thanks Scott, it seems to be a good idea!

Nith, I don't see how this can be done through workspace.  If it was not the intial task, you could use routing to do this.  If want to accomplish this, you will have to put your own buttons on your Flex or PDF form.

You are correct, if we use AssignTask operation this as simple as managing routes.

In my case, I want the initiator of the process should able to select one of three options.

Button in PDF, make a drop-down list are the easiest options, but end user don't want these options.

So still thinking for a solution.

Maybe just add a drop down in your form for the possible routes, then have a decision point as the first step that routes it to the proper route once you've extracted the dropdown data from the form.

Thanks Jasmin, but the end users do not want the action fields inside the form.

They feel better if the action fields are outside the form (i.e if they placed at flex level)
