Number of Items per page in custom initiation form

anjani

Hi,

We are using workflow modeller to create the workflow. We have created the custom initiation form. In my custom initiation form there are 13 fields. By default 9 fields are comming on first page and other 4 are comming on second page. But i want all the fields to come on single page. I know there is a attribute "items-per-page" which sets the number of elements on a page.

But i am not sure how to use that for the custom initiation form.

Please give some pointers to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
A.S.

Hi,

Put all the fields in a "top" level container. This solved my issue.

Thanks,

Hi James,

Thanks for the reply. I have put all the items directly under root-container element but then also the items are coming on two different pages.

Given is the code snippet where i have just shown 1 item element called jobName but all the other items are at the same level.

< root-container location="Config" name="Config">
< container location="iw-StartingItem" name="iw-StartingItem">
< label/>
< item pathid="iw-hiddenbugworkaround" name="iw-hiddenbugworkaround">
< hidden/>
< /item>
< /container>
< item pathid="jobName" name="jobName" maxlength="255">
< label>Job Name
< description>Enter the job name to uniquely identify the job created.
< text required="t" maxlength="255"/>
< /item>

Your code looks fine. It is working fine the way you said. If you look the "Publish Livesite Content" workflow's custom_instantiation file that is same.

You can try by keeping all item in a single container. But it can be a problem with JavaScript if you are checking some validation.

Try making the highlighted change:


<root-container location="Config" name="Config">
  <container location="iw-StartingItem" name="iw-StartingItem">
    <label/>
    <item pathid="iw-hiddenbugworkaround" name="iw-hiddenbugworkaround">
      <hidden/>
    </item>
</container>
    <item pathid="jobName" name="jobName" maxlength="255">
      <label>Job Name</label>
      <description>Enter the job name to uniquely identify the job created.</description>
      <text required="t" maxlength="255"/>
    </item>
</container>
</root-container>

and see if that resolves your issue

Hi Ghoti,

Thanks for the reply. The solution given by you didn't worked. I Made the changes suggsted by you but on opening the form i was not getting any thing.

So i put all the items in a container and that worked.

Hi,

For getting all the items in custom initiation form on a single page, i put all the items in a single conatiner and that solved my issue , but becase of that i am getting new issue. Below is the snippet of the custom form. I have given only some fields of the custom form.

< root-container location="Config" name="Config">
< container location="iw-StartingItem" name="iw-StartingItem">

< hidden/>
< /item>
< /container>
< container location="customFields" name="customFields">
< label/>

< label>Job Name
< description>Enter the job name to uniquely identify the job created.
< text required="t" maxlength="255"/>
< /item>
< item pathid="JobType" name="JobType">
< label>Job Type
< description>Select the type of job.
< select required="t" >
< inline command= "path of script"/>
< /select>
< /item>
< /container>
< /root-container>
< /ruleset>
< /data-capture-requirements>

In workflow we have a review task, whose owner is set dynamically set when the job is created. In the custom form there is a reviewer field in which job initiator selects the reviewer, which is assigned to the review task once job is created.

The reviewer field in the custom form is a configurable job varaible and i am using that variable as the owner of the review task.

I am setting the owner of the review task as : $IW_CV(Reviewer), where Reviewer is the configurable job varaiable.

Now the issue is that if in custom form i am putting all the items in a container ( as the code shown above), then workflow is not initiating and log says that the review task has no owner.

But if the items are directly under root-container istead of seperate conatiner, then it's working fine but the fields on custom form are comming of two pages.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks,
A.S.

While generated custom_instantiation.cfg by CLT iwmodeldct command, it generated the default javascript code as well as the item of configurable variables. So when customizing the Form remove all the generated javascript code and write own if you required. This code creating problem in viewing form.

anjani

Hi Faizi,

Thanks for reply.

We are using Teamsite 6.7.1 SP1 and workflow modeler 1.0.1.0 .

Attach is the custom_initiation.cfg file. Variable name in the custom_initiation.cfg file has been changed, beacuse of confidentiality reasons.

Thanks,
