Could anyone please help me with this TaskSpace problem?

Our end user expect to create a new form AND OPEN it for edit by single clicking a button on the web page.

To use the existing button 'More Action -> Create Form', the new form will display in 'Open Item' tab after created, but need to input form name and select form template during create form process, which is not acceptable to the end user.

So I created a 'Create Form' action in my TS application for it, with the form template , target folder and form instance name specified, then added the action to a tab that would display to the end user.

However, when click on the added button, a new form instance IS created, but NOT opened...which means, some of my initialize adaptors will never be triggered even I manually open the form for edit later.

Anyone suffer from this before? Any update is appreciated.

Is the form going to be tied to workflow process? If so, then you can associate the form to workflow activity and the form will automatically open when the user opens up the activity/task. If you use the Initiate Process form template, the form will be open when you launch the workflow.

Hi Johnny, thanks for your reply.

Yes, our plan is to start workflow process after submit the form.

I've also tried associating the form to workflow by setting 'Auto-Lauch Package' at initiate activity, and succeed to open new form when starts new process. However, the new form is not attached to the process instance and performers are always required to attach a new package to it.

BTW, my xCP platform version is 6.5SP2, because I also found post on this issue like https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-7633, someone reply that he get the issue fixed but mine just not work, not sure if it's version issue too.

Any advice on this?

Hi,

Have you tried making your form package as mandatory in the process. In my opinion this should solve your problem of the form getting attached to the workflow.

However one another approach you could take is have a process initiation form to the process which you like to invoke on click of a button. This way we can bypass the step of giving the input form name and selecting form template.

Hope it helps.

Thanks

Hi Divya,

Thanks for your comment.

I also tried making the package as mandatory in the process, does not work at my side either. And as my associated form is e-form which user need to browse even after the process is finished, so I guess can not replace it by process initiation form.

I'm now trying in xCP enviroment of verion 6.5SP3, hope if it works.

Thansk again.
