Is It Possible To Show A WebReport Screen After The Initiation Of A Workflow?

MarkedOne

I want to show a custom WR screen that I've created to a user when the user press "Initiate" on a Workflow.

Lets say i have this WF structure :

If the WF goes to reject it goes to the webreport afterwards and shows HTML page with some simple message "Rejected".

In the documentation of the WR configuration in the WF it has this options to choose from:

If I go to the about this page :

It says that it can show the WR and it's sort of User Interface. Unfortunately I have 2 problems :

1. When I create the WR it choose it for SMARTVIEW in the configuration. When i inititate the WF it gets me this screen although it was initiated from smart view :

2. It won't show the window as it says it should. I only find it in the "assignments" widget at the home screen.

It it possible somehow to present the custom page after the initiation of a WF?

I never did this, but I think it is possible. You are facing here multiple challenges at the same time.

1. There is an configuration option in WF that the next task in a workflow is automatically shown when it is assigned to you. Unfortunately that doesn't apply when you start a workflow.
2. WebReports are not properly supported in workflows in Smart View. Please open a support ticket for this.

I can give you some tips:

a. I had the request that required me to show a short of wizard at start up of a WF. I don't remember exactly how I did it, but you can configure a webreport to run after initiation of the workflow and that webreport redirected to the second page, which was in fact the next WF step. On initiation you can go to the next WF step and be that step the step that requests the input from the user.

b. The text that the webreport is designed for the Smart View is actually part of the WebReport. You can auto redirect the WebReport to Smart View yourself in the WebReport.
