Configuring the Save on Navigate feature enables the screenflow to be completed in multiple sessions.
| Excerpt |
|---|
Let's consider a Job Application workflow with the following requirements: - The workflow is going to be performed by anonymous users. Anonymous users do not sign in to .
- The anonymous user receives an email that includes a link to the workflow.
- The workflow must collect a lot of information from the applicant: Contact Information, Education and Employment history, References and more. You can create one long form or design a screenflow with an Anonymous Task step and subsequent steps as separate screens to collect the information.
- The user must have the option to compete the screenflow in multiple sessions. Clicking on the email link takes the user back to the last step in the screenflow where the Continue button was clicked.
- The user must be able to navigate back to previous steps to review or update information that was previously entered.
Workflow Designer- The Save on Navigate checkbox is checked and the Navigation Toolbar is configured on the Workflow Property Panel
- Step 1 of the screenflow has a field named EmailAddress that collects the applicant's email address.
- Step 2 is assigned to an email address. This is the first step that is performed by the anonymous user.
- All remaining steps in the screenflow are designed to collect the applicant's information: Contact Info, Education and Employment history, references etc. Remember, the anonymous user does not login to perform these steps so they cannot have a role, dynamic role or user property assigned to them.
The image shows an example of a possible screenflow design: Image Modified Use ModeAnonymous users return to a previous step by clicking on the Navigation Toolbar if the workflow contains a screenflow performed by an anonymous user. Image Modified |
Deployment
This field is a toggle that sets the state of your workflow to production or development. Functionality is the same as Deployment for forms.
...
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.
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 workflow will open up at step B.
Here is a short synopsis of when the current location is saved. Consider a workflow with the following steps/roles: Role1(A → B → C) → Role2(D) → Role3(E):
...
- Edit the workflow in the Workflow designer.
- Click on the Employee Information step. Click on the Edit Step Properties icon. Click the General Settings tab.
- Check Fast Finish.
- Repeat for all the steps in the workflow where you want the Finish button to display.
- Save your changes.
If the steps in your workflow consist of forms and/or a summary step, Fast Finish forwards through the steps of your workflow until it hits one of the terminating conditions listed above.
Let's consider the Employee On Boarding workflow as an example. This workflow consists of a screenflow that is filled in by the new employee:
...
The Fast Finish button on an iPhone or iPad is accessed via a dynamic action menu that is activated by the right-most button in the top button bar. The action menu drops down below the button and floats above the form. If Fast Finish is not selected for the workflow or on the current step, then the action button and menu are not present at all.
Refer to this feature announcement for more information.
...

Saved Fields tab This Saved Fields tab displays only when the Legacy Submissions view is configured as it is in the cloud. The only reason to configure Saved Fields for a form/workflow is if you want to use the Export to Excel which is only available in the Legacy Submissions view. Remember, Saved Fields are stored in the database when the form/workflow is completed. This can significantly reduce performance, especially for large forms and require additional storage in the repository.
| Warning |
|---|
The Export of submissions to Excel feature has been replaced by the Download to CSV. If you have not used the Export to Excel feature in the past, we recommend that you become familiar with the Download to CSV . You can still use the Export to Excel feature by accessing it from the Submissions Legacy view. However, the Legacy Submissions view and the Export to Excel may be removed in a future release. |
In-house customers can choose to hide the Legacy Submissions view with a configuration parameter. If the Legacy submission view is not visible, the Saved Fields tab is not displayed in the Form/Workflow Designers and the Export to Excel feature is not available. |
Refer to Submissions Stored Inside of Live Forms - Legacy View for the details about the Legacy Submission view and the Export to Excel feature.
