user input

System

Hi,

Just curious about how to get user input during a workflow. One is during the instantiation screen where the user can enter in text, radio boxes, anything that a dct can have, the custom_instantiation.cfg can have besides the few exceptions.... Once the workflow started, how do you get user input? Is CGI Task the only task that would allow user to input any information such as text, comments, radio boxes, checkboxes, etc...? Would you be able to do that with url external task?

TeamSite 6.7.1 SP1 on Windows 2000 Server.

Thanks,

You probably could use the cgitask, collect information and then push the data you collected ino global variables.

No. URL External Task is still an External Task, it's not interactive. It's pretty much a mechanism to use Java Servlets as Tasks' executables

Once the workflow is started in the background, how would the user be notified to come in and enter more input?

So logically, you may want to send an email to the user using URL External task to notify the user the task. Within this mail, you may want to provide a link for the user to click on. And in this link (with the task id attached), you are free to do whatever you wish and callback to the workflow engine using the task id to transition/update the task.
