Automate Workflow : Need to create workflow without user interaction

Hi All,
I need to create a workflow which is triggered automatically when a user clicks submit.
There are two screens which are displayed
- Submit Now, Submit Later
- Workflow Instantiation Screen with Finish Button
My workflow does not have any tasks that need user intervention. The tasks are Submit to Staging Task, Deploy Task and External Task.
I am using a WFM workflow for TS 6.7.2 on Windows 2003.
Is there any way not to have these screens.
I am also open to options other than the workflow.

Please help.

If you're using CCStd - which it sounds like you are - then I don't believe there is anyway to avoid the "wizard" when going through "normal channels". You might be able to create a custom menu item that invokes the workflow for you and bypasses the wizard - or you could try using CCPro (this should get rid of the screens you mentioned, though I think you'll still get a screen to select which workflow you want to run).

Hey Ghoti..
Thanks for the response...
Well, I am using CCPro. I have also configured the branch vpath-regex upto the desired DCT. So that only this workflow gets triggered. But the problem is that these two screens come in case of CCPro also.
My workflow is very simple workflow for now with only a Submit to Staging Task.(though i need to add more tasks to it.)

Please do let me know suggestions if any.

Are you talking about a "submit" workflow - or a "tt_data" workflow?

The branch vpath-regex going all the way to the DCT is only going to make a difference if you are talking about a "submit" workflow and have explicitly navigated to the directory containing the DCT before selecting the file(s) and submitting them.

"Submit Now, Submit Later" prompt sounds like CCStd - though it might also be involved with tt_data - I'm pretty sure it is not involved with "submit" workflows in CCPro (at least I don't recall ever seeing it).

"Workflow Instantiation Screen with Finish Button" - I'm not sure about a Finish button - in CCPro the workflow instantiation screen I believe shows up with a "Run Job" button - but if you don't have any non-populated required fields in your instantiation form - you shouldn't see that form at all.

So - I'm a bit confused about what you are actually doing and seeing.

Hey Ghoti,
I am using CCPro and my availble_models is

Also, as visible, I am using tt_data. I tried using submit too. But it does not work with it. Not sure if it is some setting in TS CCPro 6.7.2

your vpath regex is wrongly entered
