This is the message that is displayed on the screen during a workflow when the next step must be performed by a different user/role and  puts it on that user's task list. For example, in an Vacation Request workflow, the first step may be filled in by an Employee but the second step (approval) must be signed by a Manager. When the Employee clicks Continue,  will put the task on the Manager's task list and display this message on the Employee's screen. This message can use templatized strings for dynamic content, e.g. the message can be set to "Thank You {FirstName} {LastName}. Your request has been submitted to your manager for approval." where FirstName and LastName are the names of fields in a form from a prior step in the flow. Before putting the task on a user's task list,  will resolve the pending message using the actual values of the FirstName and LastName fields e.g. "Thank You Tom Smith. Your request has been submitted to your manager for approval.".

This property can be set at the flow or flow step level. If you set up a message at the flow level, it will display after the Continue button is clicked on each step of the flow except for the last one. On the last step, you will see the default message, "Thank You!. Your submission has been received" unless you customized the message using the Form Action wizard.

To set up a message at the flow level, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Image Added icon for your flow on the Flow Home page.
  2. Click the Toolbar to display the flow properties pane.
  3. Type your message in the Pending Msg box.

This will work if you want the same message to display for all of the steps of your flow. Typically, designers want to display different customized messages after each step. If this is the case, you must set the Pending Message at the flow step level.

Imagine you are entering data into a large screenflow and something happens that causes you to navigate away from the flow.. you just lost all your work!. Checking the Save on Navigate property, saves the task to your Task List. Users can go to their Task List to retrieve the task and they will  be returned to the screen where they were when the browser was closed. For example, let's say you have a screenflow with steps A > B> C and the user closes the browser at screen B. When the user performs the task from the Task List, the flow will open up at step B.

Here is a short synopsis of when the current location is saved. Consider a flow with the following steps/roles: Role1(A → B → C) → Role2(D) → Role3(E):

Accessible

Live Forms can be used to build accessible forms/flows that meet Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 accessibility standards. Check the Accessible property to turn on this feature. Refer to this documentation for the details.

Decorated

Decorated is checked by default when you create a new flow. If  you uncheck Decorated at the flow level, newly added controls in the forms of your flow will not have a decorator. Controls in the forms that already have decorators will retain them. The designer can select a decorator for each of the steps in a flow that will display on the navigation bar.
