Description

By default all flow descriptions say, “Edit the flow to change this description,” but you can change this if you wish. The description appears as a tool tip when you mouse over the area just to the right of the flow's share  icon on the Flows Home Page. You also see this description when you view individual submission documents.

Configuring the Save on Navigate feature enables the screenflow to be completed in multiple sessions.

Deployment

This field is a toggle that sets the state of your flow to production or development. Functionality is the same as Deployment for forms.

Saved flows can be monitored in the Submissions Repository. Saved flows can contain invalid data and can also contain required fields with no values yet entered. When such a flow is re-loaded the missing and invalid values are again flagged as such by . And the flow cannot be continued/finished until corrections are made to those fields.

Save on Navigate

Imagine you are entering data into a large screenflow and something happens that causes you to navigate away from the flowworkflow... you just lost all your work! . Checking the Save on Navigate property , saves the task to your Task List.  automatically "bookmarks" your place in the flowworkflow. Users  You can go to their your Task List to retrieve the task and they will   be returned to the screen where they you 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 flow workflow will open up at step B.

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

• The flow is instantiated and step A is renderedA user in Role1 starts the workflow on Step A:  does not save because it is the FIRST step (if the user abandons the flow workflow in the browser it is as if it never existed).
• The user clicks next:  saves BEFORE step B renders.
• The user performs Step B and C, then clicks next:  does not save because the role change will do a save to the db workflow will already be saved in the PENDING state due to the new role assignment on Step D.
• Role2 performs the taskStep D and clicks continue: no need to save here since the flow workflow is already saved in the db in the PENDING state.
• Role2 clicks continue:  saves before the step is rendered.
• state due to the new role assignment on Step E.
•  will not save if the step is READONLY - this might be the case if the user navigates back to a previous step that was performed by a different user.
•  will not save when the flow workflow navigates from an HTTP/Anonymous Task step to the next one.
•  will not save when the flow workflow is completed.

...

• , because it will already be saved in the SUBMITTED state.

When Save on Navigate is used on a screenflow with sequential steps performed by an anonymous user bring , it brings the user back to the flow workflow at the current/latest anonymous step if the Save on Navigate feature is selected.

Messages

Task Info

When you save a partially filled flow to continue it later or when  puts a task on your task list as part of a workflow, the task is accessed via your task list. This field controls the name that gets displayed in the user's task list. For more details, see the Tasks documentation. This field can use templatized strings  for dynamic content, e.g. the Task Info can contain "Vacation Request for {FirstName} {LastName}" 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 Task Info string using the actual values of the FirstName and LastName fields e.g. "Vacation Request for Tom Smith".  will truncate the Task Info data to 250 characters.

You access your Task List from your applications home page. You use the Task list to to perform tasks assigned to you, to view a task's history, or search for tasks you've participated in — a tenant admin can also search for other users' tasks.

Task Info

When you save a partially filled flow to continue it later or when  puts a task on your task list as part of a workflow, the task is accessed via your task list. This field controls the name that gets displayed in the 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 more details, see the Tasks documentation. This field can use templatized strings  for dynamic content, e.g. the message can be set to "Thank You Task Info can contain "Vacation Request for {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 Task Info string using the actual values of the FirstName and LastName fields e.g. "Thank You Vacation Request for 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 Removed 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.

Searchable Fields

Setup Searchable/Summary Fields

Searchable fields configured for a form or flow are the fields that may be used to filter submissions in the submissions view. By default, all your data is saved as an XML document. This is the most efficient way to store/access your data both in terms of speed as well as storage. However, if you prefer to view your data via the submissions user interface, you can choose which fields are available to the user as search criteria in addition to the XML data.

Considerations when deciding which types of fields to configure are listed below.

...

Searchable fields are indexed for easy search of form/flow Submissions. They can also be used when searching Tasks on a user's Task List. You will see the controls designated as Searchable fields in the Submissions table. This is helpful when trying to locate a particular submission from a long list. They are downloaded into the Export Submissions to a CSV file along with the submission default columns. The default for the maximum number of Searchable fields is 10. In-house customers can change change the default value by adidng the frevvo.max.searchable.fields configuration parameter to the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost\frevvo.xml file.

...

Designers should carefully consider which fields to designate as Searchable fields. The selection of the correct fields as search criteria can be very helpful with submission and Task List searches.

Clicking on the Setup Searchable/Summary fields link displays a wizard. The wizard displays the fields from your flow on the Available Fields tab . Drag and drop or use the arrow keys to move the available fields to the Searchable Fields list. If the Legacy Submissions view is configured, designers will see a Saved fields tab listing the fields used for the Export to Excel feature. The Saved Fields tab will not display when the Legacy Submissions view and the Export to Excel feature are removed in the next major release.

Please refer to the Setup Searchable Fields documentation for forms for information about how the wizard works.

In-house customers can change the default value by adding the frevvo.max.searchable.fields configuration parameter to the <frevvo-home>\tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost\frevvo.xml file.

• Saved fields do affect performance as they are independently stored in addition to XML data. This can significantly reduce performance, especially for large forms and require additional storage in the repository. Saved fields are not rendered in the submission table and cannot be used as search criteria for submissions. The only reason to configure Saved fields is if you want to use the Export to Excel feature which is available on the Legacy Submissions view
