Skip system variables in WFM instantiation screen

Vishakha

Hi,
We want to skip the system variables fields in the instantiation screen of the workflow.
We are using WFM 1.0.0.1 with Control Hub Server 6.7.2
We want to get rid of the screen that asks the user to enter "Area Owner" and "Workarea", since these fields can be determined by the system itself and to avoid probable wrong values by the user.
We have tried several options like setting a global hidden configurable variable and assigning it to the task variable, Area Vpath and Areaowner.
Still the screen keeps on coming while starting the workflow.
Can somebody suggest a right approach to bypass this screen of system variables?

Have you read the section in the WFM manual regarding the available_models.xml's configuration options for things like "require_workarea"?

Perhaps that will lead you to the solution you're looking for?

Also - I'm assuming you are either using CCPro (Content tab) or a customized CCStd (Workarea view page) to launch the workflow - because if you're launching the workflow from the Workflow tab (CCPro) or the main portal view (CCStd) there is no branch/workarea associated with that view and you will need to prompt for that information (or configure you're workflow so that it will not be available from such views)
