how to inform participants which step a process is in?

Confluence User - 25 Oct, 2016

Imagine a 5 step process (5 activities), is there a way to tell the participants which step the process is in?

 

Like telling an employee "your request is waiting for manager's approval" ?

process

5

Hi Ufuk Yilmaz

You can follow the example of the Simple Leave app in Joget Marketplace where the email tool function in the workflow will send out an email notification to the requester when his leave has been rejected or approved. In addition, the datalist will display the status of the application which the employee can check at any time.

You can get a lot of ideas and experience by downloading and learn from 70+ free Joget Enterprise apps and plugins in Joget Marketplace.

as I see status only gives info about process is running, aborted etc. I wish to inform users at which step the process is in.

Hi Ufuk Yilmaz

You can use hidden field with a default value (Eg: Stage 1 or Stage 2) in Form Builder to store the stage of the process as it flows from Form A to Form B to Form C and display this field in the datalist column.

The Process Status element does show the previous steps. But it cannot show the future steps because that could depend on many possible options, depending on your process flow. For example, the next step might be Approved, or Cancelled, etc so how would you know what is next? In other words, it cannot tell the future.
